I was looking around for an acrylic shower pan of a certain size and style in a 3D AutoCAD drawing and found this site http://free3dbase.com/. With a few mods to one of their files and application of some textures I wound up with exactly what I needed. 100's of good quality 3D models available.

great find martin,

 

i downloaded the 3 grass 3ds models

their in the "garden" library / category / folder / etc.

 

(btw, they have dwg, dxf and other formats)

 

downloaded the garden - grass models.

showing the number 3 3ds format model

it's long grass,

1 is short and 2 is a little longer than the #1.

 

the fencing editing is great,

you can design almost any design and size of fence

including the posts and pads (round or square).

we usually refer to what is called "pads"  in SP as "piers"

i guess it depends on what part of the country your from.

the grass models come 4' sq. i left it that size

and copied a bunch of them together for this rendering.

i'd probably try a grass texture on them and see

how that looks.  for this one i use a green color

with no depth relief.

Thanks for the post Martin.  The Softplan Splash forum adds a lot of value to Softplan overall.  Martin's post is just one example.  Jack

for long grass texture, try using a LEAF texture from the leaf folder in the SITE folder

click to ENLARGE image below

 

you can add long grass 3d symbols to

the foreground of the view.  same with trees, bushes, plants

etc.  frame your building.

 

tip: for snow scenes, there are a few white leaf textures.

 

other textures for snow scenes.

you can use a white roof texture

white textures on your terrain.

play with different white textures for you snow scenes

and than SAVE them in your

file / material files / save.

to load them into other projects,

file / material files / LOAD > pick the snow scene file or whatever season you've saved.

I happened on another, it is very extensive, but a simple search can land items we may find useful, eg; appliances. Found a few there.
