Oh, there's an Ikea plugin for Blender. It pulls 3d models from an ikea database, completely with shaders. That is ... amazing.

@xanathon god, I know right? I used that and a quick 3D scan made with the phone to roughly plan out furniture placement for under our stairs, worked great
@xanathon Where does the models are pulled from?

@xanathon I made userscript in the past that adds a download button to the product page on the Ikea website if a model is available. Handy to import into various tools while browsing for things.

Ikea 3D Model Downloader

A script to download 3D models in the 3D model viewer on Ikeas product pages.

@xanathon There is an IKEA database with 3D models? For everything they carry (furniture at least)?
@xanathon The last few IKEA catalogs that were still printed were CGI-only, not a single real photograph. That's probably when they started creating these models.
@xanathon Now if Blender had a UI that didn't require a 3 months intense training to use :)
@yacc143 HAHAHA. Install pre 3.x versions and say that again. Aside from that: I do not know any DCC application that does not have a steep learning curve. Since 3.x the UI became better than some commercial software.
@xanathon OMG 🤩
Does this finally mean I can freely stack some Kallax shelves?
@xanathon it's a proper marketing stunt; you can't use them in any kind of commercial production
@efi so what?
@xanathon nothing, just a sidenote in case you missed the license
@xanathon does it have the blåhaj model
@em Unfortunately it does not look so, but a few others
@xanathon where!

Wait, what? Oh, yeah. (Cue Yello)
@xanathon I've installed the extension and I had some familiarity with Blender in the past, but I've unsuccessfully tried to find where I can actually access the extension in Blender yesterday 😂 But I'll keep trying, because that looks very, very cool!
@xanathon Ha! Found a video explaining how to install and actually access the extension: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1pL5bF_f94
