if you don't have a 3D model of the right thing, then you can use the magic Keet method as always. You need to take a photo, clean out the background and use a box with the only visible front side to make a substitution. This time I showed the customers how specific suspensions of a certain brand will look above their table. I took a photo from the factory's website. He accurately completed the dimensions of the life-size photographs of the ceiling lights. I put a 5% invisible hemisphere cap on top. First, of course, I built a row of five cylinders, for which I wrote the mirror prefix sweethome3d_window_mirror_ after "g" in the OBJ file. Such mirror prefixes are necessary for realistic details in objects where there are shiny metal surfaces. The wire is also a thin cylinder with a diameter of 0.3 cm, but not mirrored, light gray. Without a mirror appearance, such surfaces turn out to be gray and not spectacular. I also used the mirror prefix for the table supports that I made from the walls. The supports are made of polished stainless steel, with reflections of chairs and parquet. Boxes with photographs of ceiling lights must be placed strictly perpendicular to the line of sight from the viewer. Then ellipses of round shapes in the lampshades-the photo will look correct and without distortion.
In the same room, I showed the sconces on the wall. I took a photo from the site and cleaned the background. I placed this photo on a box with 5 invisible sides with an indentation of 8 cm from the wall. I placed bright flat spheres behind the photo. Everything is simple and you don't have to look for 3d models of specific lamps. All sizes correspond exactly to the actual fixtures.
You have to be honest. This method is not quite simple, but it perfectly replaces real 3D models. Especially if they are not at all or not very expensive. But there are photos.
