    Hey everyone!

    I’ve been working on some furniture designs and want to create high-quality 3D visualizations. I’m looking for recommendations on the best software to render furniture realistically.

    • Which tools do you prefer (Blender, 3ds Max, SketchUp + V-Ray, etc.)?

    • Any tips for lighting and materials to make wood/metal textures pop?

    • Free vs. paid options—what’s worth the investment?
    Would love to hear your experiences or see examples of your work! Thanks in advance.

    (P.S. If you’ve got a favorite tutorial, drop a link!)

    Starting with a flat 2D profile is still necessary when using 3D modeling systems. The third dimension, on the other hand, is defined once it has been created. With the right tools, this can typically be done with a few more clicks, resulting in a complete 3D model. The procedure generally stays the same regardless of the industry. Even though it's helpful to have some specific dimensions with the rough sketch, it's not really necessary because the 3D model can be defined and changed.
