Great Tool - IKEA Models

Hi

just wanted to thank you for this great tool. Well done!

Are there any models of "IKEA" furniture? What would be great, since about 98% of german ppl (including me) could design their interior then 1:1 ;-)

Is it planned to deliver packages for main linux-distributions (ubuntu/debian etc) Or are there licensing issues?

Keep up the good work,

Sebastian.

Re: Great Tool - IKEA Models

If I had some photos to refer to, I might be able to come up with a few models. It would take a long time though since I am a beginner at making 3d models. You can see some of my contributions on SH3D's 3d models page. (Right click on an item and view the properties, it should tell you who made the model.)

You can learn to make the furniture too. Have you heard of "Art Of Illusion"? ( http://www.artofillusion.org/ ) That is the program I use.

Re: Great Tool - IKEA Models

Now that I have a catalog of IKEA furniture, I can make some models based on that. I don't have a lot of time at the moment but I plan to get around to it.

There's no licensing issues, and I read around the Internet that some people are about to prepare and deliver such packages.
At this time, I'd prefer not to deliver them through SourceForge.net, otherwise releasing a new version of Sweet Home 3D is going to take too much time...

Great !
Does anybody know if creating the 3D model of an IKEA model may cause some copyrights problems ?

Re: Great Tool - IKEA Models

I'm not too sure about that but if I look at the model and then go by my very imperfect memory, I'm sure that it won't be so exact as to cause problems. There should be enough differences.

Re: Great Tool - IKEA Models

If we don't want to have copyrights problems, making furniture a little different and using different names is probably the best thing to do. ;-)
Nevertheless, after a look at http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/search?tags=IKEA , it's strange that it doesn't seem to bother Sketchup contributors !

Re: Great Tool - IKEA Models

They probably would have a problem with it if they were to get into making 3d models of their furniture, but as far as I know, they're not into that, at least not yet.

Making the furniture a little different as well as using different names is just what I have in mind. ;-)

Re: Great Tool - IKEA Models

I have made quite a few IKEA models.
I would be glad to upload them so anyone can use them.
Please explain me how to do so, or give me an e-mail address (Puybaret?) so you can publish them.

Re: Great Tool - IKEA Models

Hans, I received the models you sent me by email and thank you for your contribution. smile
It's the first time I see someone using Sweet Home 3D as a modeler!


Could you please post the models you created in 3D Models Contributions Tracking System too?

Thank you
