Indigo Renderer Forum

I'm in need of some cars that I can use for an exterior rendering. I have some good models from Dosch, but when I import these 3ds to SketchUp, they have a file size about 50MB. This will make it impossible to work with the file if I use 4-5 cars.

Does anybody know where I can buy some cars of good quality, but lowpoly? The cars I get from 3dwarehouse are looking quite bad....

I already thought about using an obj as external mesh, but this will be far too much work, scaling, naming materials etc. Any solution for this?

Did you check out the Dosch Car Bundles?

I know there are some low poly cars from dosch, but it is only sold as bundle, which is quite expensive. And there is no sample, so i don't know if these are good.

Samples:
"http://www.doschdesign.com/samples.php"

119,- Euros for 15 actual cars? I think that is okay...

And for free; did you look here?
"http://www.dmi-3d.net/"

Wonderful! How did you know that!!

Can't find a sample of the dosch lowpoly cars...

Is there an importer for lwo-files to get them into sketchup?

..that's exactly what I was just wondering...

Blender should import Lightwave...

hi,
IMHO many of sketchup (3dwarehouse) cars are ok - especially when You need them as additional object (f.e. for archviz). They just need little bit of material tuning. This mini cooper weighs about 8MB.

Theres some not bad cars on the 3D Warehouse, you just need to dig through the rubbish to find them and then you need to spend a bit of time setting up the materials.

I've collected a few over the years - some are more low poly than others and most are missing some detail like number plates, tyre tread, proper rear light clusters etc. They won't win any awards, but they do for 'scene setting' details. All the cars in the image are in one file which is about 50mb total.

I tend to put them on a layer which is off until I return to the scene I want to render to ensure I can still work in sketchup properly.

Ok, what do i have to pay to get your cars

Here is a nice collection of cars I use for my scenes, everything is perfect exept crease of tires. Hope you like them!

Ho! those are great! Much better than mine, thanks for sharing.

Lape, you don't need mine - have these and then just tweak the materials. Like this, took 5 minutes:
