    I would like to see if one of the modelers here could make up a coffin prop (with removable lid and interior/pillow) based on this coffin:

    http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/6e/Sarg_Mary_Vetsera.jpg

    (This is the coffin in which Baroness Marie Vetsera was buried following her death in the 1889 Mayerling incident. It's typical of elaborate coffins made for members of the Austro-Hungarian aristocracy in the late 19th and early 20th centuries; Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife were buried in similar coffins following their assassination in 1914.) The fanciness of this type of coffin makes it, I think, a good match for aristocratic-vampire (hello, Count!) scenes and gothic/steampunk/horror scenes. I've gone through pretty much all the other free coffin and casket props out there, including Karth's, and none of them looks quite right for the kinds of elaborately elegant scenes I have in mind.

    (I also would love to find a better-quality modern-type casket model, similar to the kind of thing you see on Turbosquid but a lot less expensive, but that's a request for another day.)

    I think part of your problem looking for a "Coffin" like that is because you're looking under the word "Coffin", That is not a coffin. It's a casket. There is a difference, even though they serve the same function. Coffins have six side walls, not including the top and bottom—like an elongates hexagon. A casket is rectangular in shape, with only four walls, plus top and bottom.You might have better luck, doing a search for caskets instead of coffins.

    I don't think it's necessary to have the model an exact match to that image. All one needs to do is create the cross with body on it to go on the lid like in the picture, then below that is what looks like little balls grouped together with ribbons between each one (I didn't enlarge the image to view that so could be wrong), then below that for two rows are filigree decoration circling the casket bottom, and the base all filigree with pedestals, not all that different from the old style claw footed tubs. You can find images to represent all those parts with no problem. It just needs to be elaborate, not an exact match and you can find images for those anywhere.

    The one thing not answered is if this request is for a distressed model or new look model.

    Sorry, I should have specified that. I wanted a "new look" model (though a "distressed" model would look good in abandoned-tomb scenes, certainly). And I agree that not all the little fancy details need to be incorporated into a free version of the prop, just the basics like what you describe - if a ball-and-ribbon pattern is used like what you describe, it should be simpler to model than the real thing and should look quite good enough for any ordinary 3D art purpose - and it should look quite nice that way. The interior can be a basic satiny/silky lining with a simple pillow. I didn't think about the resemblance to old-fashioned clawfoot bathtubs, but yes, it's definitely there, and aren't there already one or two models for that style of tub in circulation?

    P.S. There's also a nameplate on the lid, but it doesn't have to be engraved; any nice basic shape can be used and the plate can be left blank. The cross itself is a crucifix with figure in the original, but can be made a simple cross in the model (or the cross can even be left off the lid to make the modeling a little easier).

    That's Karth's model, which I've already talked about. It'd take a bit more than a simple retexturing to get what I want - for instance, the lid needs to be a one-piece removable item, as in other pre-20th-century coffins. What CalieVee is talking about seems to be the best way to go.

    Well, in the picture, the casket is being displayed in a museum, so I imagine the base/slab/whatever is sloped to allow for better viewing. Also, if you look at the DM's Dark Legacy set on Renderosity, you'll see that there are actually two coffin slabs, one level, the other sloped. I also seem to recall that there are some countries in which, for lying-in-state, coffins (or caskets) are placed on sloped slabs/biers/catalfaques for viewing; I've seen at least one or two movies depicting that.

A casket is rectangular in shape, with only four walls, plus top and bottom.You might have better luck, doing a search for caskets instead of coffins.

    Already did. The original German word, used in the filename, is "Sarg" Part of the problem is that the words "coffin" and "casket" tend to be used interchangeably nowadays - I do know the difference, but still fall into that lapse occasionally myself. It doesn't help that a lot of sites tend to use both coffin and casket tags - for example, Turbosquid has a lot of (expensive) casket models, but they're almost always tagged as "coffins" too.

    Also, coffins are generally understood, if I'm not totally mistaken, to have one-piece lids which can be removed entirely, while caskets have two-piece lids which open and close door-fashion.

    EDIT: P.S. There's also the problem that the word "casket" can refer to any small oblong box with fancy decorations, particularly one used to hold jewels or ornaments; when I did a Google just now for "19th-century European casket", I came up with a LOT of jewelry caskets in the image view.

    Saw that during my earlier search. It's a .3ds format model, which means it'd require conversion to .obj format via Blender or Hexagon or some such, and I don't know if the lid would still be removable/posable after conversion; the texture probably wouldn't carry over either, and also there's no interior/lining.

    mjc1016 has a point that more images will be needed to get a proper idea of the decorations on the casket. I mentioned Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife Sophie earlier, so I decided to look and found a couple of pictures of their lying-in-state which shows fairly good details of the caskets/coffins (dead body warning)

    http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m24y9lfTuH1rr7b0eo1_1280.jpg

    http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m24ym5S0MG1rr7b0eo1_1280.jpg

    http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m24y9lfTuH1rr7b0eo2_1280.jpg (closeup)

    http://wwwdelivery.superstock.com/WI/223/1746/PreviewComp/SuperStock_1746-589.jpg (their closed coffins in a very elaborate arrangement of candles and flowers; too small for much detail, unfortunately)

    You can see that the "feet" on the casket/coffin of the Archduke - I think either term might actually apply, because as you see the lid (removed in both pictures) is a one-piece affair - are simpler than the "feet" on the Duchess' coffin (which in turn are very similar to the clawfoot-tub-style "feet" on Marie Vetsera's coffin). Also, the filigree decoration on Sophie's coffin is simpler than that on Franz Ferdinand's, so it might be easier to model from that than from Marie's casket.

    This isn't a thing limited to the nobility, by the way. During the 19th and early 20th centuries, burying the dead in really fancy caskets and coffins was very much a stylish thing among Viennese:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Funeral_Museum_Vienna

    This museum has a lot of exhibits dedicated to the "beautiful corpse" cult among fashionable Viennese in the 19th century, including this coffin, which is very similar in style to the ones we've been discussing:

    http://mobile.austria.info/media/13712/totenkult-wien--oesterreich-werbung-muhr--d.jpg

    (Again, this picture is unfortunately small-size, but it does show a reasonably good side view of the casket lying level.)

    For comparison, this is the coffin/casket of Empress Elisabeth, "Sissi", which rests next to the coffins of her husband Emperor Franz Josef I and Crown Prince Rudolf in the Kaisergruft in Vienna:

    How about this?

    It's just a straight obj, not a prop. It's scaled to Genesis size and loads about the correct position for the right hand, but other than that, nothing has been done to it. No textures, just colors and shaders. Sorry no tassel.
