Anyone know of a place to find models of any of the above, or tips for achieving an architectural look vaguely similar with products in the Daz store?

    possibly not a great time at the moment for Russian artists to sell any

    at least not at stores in NATO countries 

    if they want to get paid that is

    From the top of my head...there's a Russian church exterior and a busstop that slightly resembles the ones found in Moscow...

  • Thanks! I think I saw those, but I'll take another look.

  • Sorry, nothing realistic, but ...

    I think the russian architecture before 1917 was influenced by french, looking at the palaces and city centers, one can clearly see similarities. Churches and other religious places leaning towards byzantine.

    As far as using assets found here in Daz store, I think this could be used https://www.daz3d.com/the-streets-of-paris although without the bright colors
    Then there's this https://www.daz3d.com/russian-church-and-compound

    The very centers along the main streets in Moscow and St. Petersburg are looking nice and clean, but the further one gets from the centers, the shabbier the general look gets, until one jumps to the countryside and moves some 70 years into the past, where people are living in shabby cottages and log cabins.

    Soviet era apartment buildings look like nobody has taken care of them since they were built in the sixties.

    Edit: Had a look at CGTrader;
    plattenbau-buildings-pack
    russian-soviet-panel-building
    russian-panel-house-lowpoly
    abandoned-russian-village-collection (ones lived in look the same)

    Renderhub has "moscow-red-square-russia"

    There are free models at cadnav. Here is a link:

    https://www.cadnav.com/3d/Russian-architecture.html

    I think it's a legitimate websitte even if their models are free.

    These models seem to be in .max format. I had to convert  this one online (to wavefront.obj) but here is the resut in Daz Studio:

    You can find St. Basil's Cathedral and Red Square at Renderhub, though not as daz models and expensive. Also, if price and format aren't an issue, there's always Turbosquid...

  • I don't know how I missed all these replies and forgot to say thank you. So: thank you!

    And if you want to see how it looks for real, Google Street View works in Moscow

    you won't find anyting like that here, try CG Trader or Turbo squid, but keep in mind you will probalby need to have some knowldge of OBJ, 3DS or even 3DMax to get them rendered in Daz...OR...ha...just SD or MidJourney a backscape image and use that on a plane...OR want better? Convert it to a 3d obj with depth field and texture....heh you'll never know the difference and save yourself time and $$$$$$
