3D Room
Hi all
I need to create a 3D room with furniture in it. In actual fact it doesn’t need to be a completely closed room, just like a film set i.e back wall and side wall with a section a the front where I’ll place my camera. The camera will zoom in/out and move around.
Obviously this all needs to be done in 3d but the walls and some of the items in the furniture may need their appearance changing i.e different wall covering/colours etc. So I was intending to set up each wall as a separate comp (so I could change things within this if necessary – artwork is created in Illustrator so presumably this would auto update if I needed it to) and then the items inside also made up of comps. For example shelving/tables etc etc.
Is the way I’ve described the above the best way to set up an animation like this? Or is there an easier way?
Any help much appreciated!

I think that’s a reasonable approach that will help keep the project organized and flexible.
Depending on just how 3D you need this to be, you might consider looking into Element 3D (third-party plugin) or CINEMA 4D Lite (bundled with Adobe CC).

Thanks for your feedback Walter.
I’ve actually started having a play around with this and it seems to be going ok so far. Only issue is the render time. Gets there in the end but I’ve only just started and already it’s pretty slow!
I’m working on an imac (3.3GHz i5) 24GB RAM AMD Radeon R9 2048 MB graphucs card.
I’m guessing this is not powerful enough for some heavyweight 3d rendering?
Also do you know if there are any resources where you can buy stock ready rendered household 3D objects? Houseplants etc and that kind of thing?
