You can even buy completely finished room sets, all set up for you and ready to render or animate, should a pre-fab suite your project needs. Purchasing a model tends to ensure a bit more quality and ease of use, but not always. Another option is to purchase model sets from places like (opens in new tab), and (opens in new tab). Thousands of very high quality free models can be found at sites like (opens in new tab). Free models often need some work, and certainly need rescaling to fit your room dimensions. Many models that are appropriate for interiors - from furniture and appliances, to doors and window dressings - can be found online and legitimately downloaded at little to no cost.

One is to buy (or otherwise download for free) models that can be used in Max, thus avoiding large amounts of time spent modelling every item yourself. While learning to model objects in a program like 3ds Max is no quick thing, there are shortcuts. The internet offers some great free and paid resources for models Other items in the scene are still more complex: the rocking horse, curtains, and toy duck were all created using a range of toolsets. The crib model in the centre gets a bit more complex, as the trim along the top required an undulating wave shape (created using lofting and boolean tools), and the spindles have a complex profile (created using revolve profile tools). 3DS Max has all of the tools one would need to create such models, but learning how to use them, and in combination with one another to create exotic shapes, begins to get more complex. Things get more complex, though, when we need to start populating the room with furniture and objects that make it all come alive. And even most of the furniture in this scene is pretty simple, containing mostly box-like shapes with straight lines.

And of course, we added the window itself. To it we added a slight setback area on the back wall where the window is. For example, in the 3D illustration at the top of the page, we have a room that is a simple box.
