I make models in Blender but I tend to make everything parametric, so I end up with many variations of each. One of my goals is also to make them parametric.
The problem with this is that creating cover images is a bit of a waste if I print all variants of each model and also that my home is not conducive to the best photos.
I don’t like using AI for creating scenes since in the end it is not using the real 3D models but I wouldn’t mind using Blender for it as it would use the real 3D models.
My question is whether you’re aware of open source scenes I could use as basic “sets” for my models? I wouldn’t mind using the same always since it’s just to show the model in context and with better filament colors than I have available.
Why do you want to render an entire set? That just takes up unnecessary time in the workflow. Why not just use a desk in Blender, for example? Add a background image and set the rendering camera to depth of field. But let’s get back to your question:
What you’re looking for is CC0, i.e., public domain stuff. It will be hard to find a complete set, but the individual parts are available. Here’s a list:
I didn’t mean rendering an entire set. But I did want to render a subset of representative options and since I include both textures, sizes and addons, I end up with a table full of printed stuff and my wife is not super happy
I wrote “open source scenes” but you’re right, it should’ve been “public domain”. I wouldn’t mind affordable paid scenes, I don’t know why I limited it to free stuff.
