Additional Lightworks Material Libraries

vistasp — Tue, 04 Dec 2007 12:04:57 +0000

ArchiCAD’s rendering engine is Lightworks and, although it comes with some internal material libraries, it’s always nice to have more. Lightworks has therefore set up a website where users can download additional libraries – most of them free. Look for those that have “Base functionality” or “Architectural functionality” – the others may not work.

MaPZone

Here is a freeware tool to create an unlimited number of seamless, high-resolution (or low-res if you like) textures and texture maps. It’s rather a steep learning curve but considering that there’s no cost attached, it’s well worth checking to see if it works for you.

Art Objects – A blog that links to 3D libraries

vistasp — Sun, 27 May 2007 05:13:41 +0000

The links point to major collections of 3D objects that can be used by Archicad or Artlantis. This is a very good idea and I only wish I knew a little Spanish. Of course I view the site in English so it shouldn’t really matter but still; it’s more fun to read something in the original instead of a machine translated version.

Huge Pack of Seamless Textures

This is a single archive containing about 2000 seamless jpeg textures. It contains the usual suspects – brick, wood, parquet, concrete, tile – as well as some unusual ones like crates, frontages, trim and ornamental details. You can have a look at the thumbnail pages before deciding if this huge collection is for you.

CGI India – free models and textures

vistasp — Wed, 23 Aug 2006 13:35:51 +0000

For a site that’s been around almost two years, I would have thought there’d be more models to download but, well, it is a blog after all. Their models are in *.3ds format and there are 5 collections of textures as well.

CAD Corner

vistasp — Wed, 24 May 2006 02:44:07 +0000

This site wants to be “For Everything AutoCAD”. Includes AutoCAD blocks (version 2006) tutorials, LISP routines, shx fonts and hatches. There’s also a forum for discussion and, possibly trouble-shooting. Time will tell if this site strikes a chord with users or if it’ll die away like many others before it.
