Library with people/kids

[Mats Knutsson]

Your recommendation of libraries with low/decent poly people/kids for free or to buy? We need to update for our interior and school designers. Anyone have a good lib to recommend? Archicad only...

Operating system used: Windows

Hi,

Would these be enough for what you are looking for?

I know it is not what you originally requested but there are some viable workarounds:

1. Try to search on 3D warehouse. For example these ones: https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model/56ea1e58-2e53-4e3f-ae9e-f80e2586a405/Kids
You can import them as collada files and save them as .gsm afterwards. The polygon count might not be ideal but it may be a viable workaround.

2. You can also browse specialty sites for this and see if there is something that you might consider buying and then include them as collada in archicad.

I recommend the Studio Esinam CAD library (also really cool cutouts apart from the CAD stuff):

https://studioesinam.com/pages/2d-cad-library-2

they ship an LCF and the DWGs too.

dimensions.com is another go-to source for me for drawings:

For 3D, renderpeople has some really nice posed assets (although I generally don't work with higher poly assets in AC due to limitations in UV editing and high polygon count handling): https://renderpeople.com/3d-people/?_age=04-12%2C13-18

For closer people, either use AI to swap faces or use cutouts, imo. 

Another option is to use generators (a cost efficient solution would be this plugin for Blender):

As quality is mediocre-ish, you might want to go for the AI face swap-enhancement route or use a more blurry archviz style. But then you will face another limitation of AC: the joke of not providing render passes (...has this changed? anyway...).

(FYI I would save myself the trouble and keep the spaces-surfaces organised in AC, only have lightweight placeholders for mobile furniture, and populate the scene with quality models in another software that is capable of handling decent assets.)
