in Product Suggestions

I' d like to see more European items in the store refering to the 50s, 60s and 70s, like fashion, props architecture and environments.

    In some ways I'm a bit reluctant to make the suggestion I'm going to.

    Take a look at the products on the first catalogue page by PA Digimation_ModelBank over at Renderosity.

    There are a number of houses, stations & structures that are not very well textured (which is one of the reasons why I'm slightly reluctant to suggest them), but the model is there if you're prepared to deal with the textures yourself. The other reason I am slightly reluctant to suggest them is that while they are models of real structures and the structures are available to anyone to measure and model, there is a remarkable correspondance between these models and the Vollmer and Faller Model Railway catalogues of HO gauge buildings. Anyway, all these kits were of German structures, and the kits Faller & Vollmer made of them, were available in the 1970's - when I saw the kits myself in shops in Germany. So, the models by Digimation made are from the era you enquired about.

    Regards,

    Richard

    Thank you for those links, but to be honest, those models are not the level of quality I am looking for. Most of those meshes are items, already published as a CD collection in the late 90s, which I already own since then.
    This vendor still publishes content from those CD collections.

    Entirely understandable - and is one reason why I was a little reluctant to suggest them.

    Regards,

    I would love more from Roguey along the lines of the PA's https://www.daz3d.com/european-style-apartment which fits the period of your request and is just fantastic.

    KindredArts had https://www.daz3d.com/european-suburb

    Or the Northern Terrace series by David Brinnen and ForbiddenWhispers that are on DAZ+ and they also did https://www.daz3d.com/the-cosy-kitsch-living-room-props and https://www.daz3d.com/a-cozy-kitsch-living-room.

    But, more quality products that reflect the wide range of European homes post-WWII would be great. Not just the extremely rich class, but normal working people's homes.

    There is obviously a misunderstanding of the Forum section label "Product Suggestion".
    Many users as well the adminitrators treat it as some kind of lost and found section, while I understand it literary as a request for items, I'd like to see here in the store.
    So, with all of my requests, that I've posted in the past, I already did the researches before.
    Many suggested items I already own or they look quite outdated.
    My hope is mostly, that some vendor might feel inspired and pick up that idea.
    In this case, my request has been rooted in watching yt videos about homes designed by Frank Loyed Wright, Richard Neutra or Donald Wexler.
    And I know, that some few examples already exist, but I am looking foreward to new stuff.

    Product Suggestiuons was originally a "things I'd like to see", but of course the response was often "well, what about ..." so it naturally generalises to an in-search-of forum.

    I apologise for making the suggestions I did. Looking at the three men's work you list, two are focused on Californian 1950s homes and Wright had a long history spanning the 20th century in the USA. I thought you wanted European average homes.

    Petipet might be the PA you want to create such house

    No worries. My interest in American Mid Century homes is just another recend idea of mine. Usually, you are correct, I have a preference for European homes.
    In general I always appreciate, what is aside from the mainstream items.
    All these vendors' items suggested to me are mostly great, that's why I got their items already.
    My frustration is just seeing, that all marketplaces repeating itself over and over again. American busstops, diner, New York lofts and bla bla bla.
    I am just not wired the way of the mainstream customer. Not in 3d marketplaces, not in real life marketplaces.
    Most people wander through shops and selecting from what's available. 
    I go into a shop with a tunnel vision for one specific idea and usually I just can't get, what I wanted.
    So, yes I am ultra picky.
    Still thank you all for you're suggestions, I'm just hard to please.
