Two Bedroom Apartment

Hey All! I'm looking for a 2 bedroom apartment asset. I've found the Desert Living Apartment by FG but that's not quite what I'm looking for.

I'm hoping to find a simple two bedroom apartment like you'd find in a downtown building or something - nothing flashy - that is just the kind of place two girls in their early twenties would rent together.

Doesn't have to be a Daz Store asset but would be preferred.

Thanks in advance!

    TruForm at Rendo has several apartments in his store but they may be to elaborate for what you're looking for.

    You know, I was reading this thread the other day and searching my memory to see if I had any suggestions, and was prepared to write about how there's a genuine shortage of (as you put it) "bit tatty" apartments and homes, let alone two-bedroom sets ... and totally forgot that European Style Apt (which I have owned for ages) has two bedrooms. Good catch!

    One other thing to note about the European-style Apartment set is the incredibly high quality of the textures and components.  With a little care, it can look photorealistic, I think.  Look back in these forums for some posts by a user named "jeff_somebody" or something similar.  He used these sets for some renders that looked astonishly real.

    unless you're doing a tracking shot between rooms, not sure it really matters how many rooms an apartment has. you can always just add more/less.

    (the audience aren't out there mentally mapping out every nook and cranny of a render's floorplan)

    You can make rooms or environments more realistic by first rendering out an ambient occlusion layer for all surfaces.  This fills in small gaps and cracks with soft shadows. This is what I believe he did with the European Apartment. The ROG Fantasy Home also has the same rendering style.  If you don't render out an ambient occlusion layer, then your rooms will look very flat and nonrealistic.

    BrickWork House has two bedrooms but it's a house and probably not the style you're looking for. Imo, instead of focusing on the number of bedroom you should look for the style of the place. And probably will need some kitbashing.

    PS. Stantuzi on Renderosity has some nice interiors, like STZ Modern Room 2, which is actually an apartment.

    Not an apartment, and it's free, but superb: https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/442667/free-halloween-bates-house-from-the-movies-psycho-and-bates-motel/p1

    May be useful.

    There is a two bedroom apartment on Renderhub, looks like it's new today. The doors between rooms are very narrow though, about 21 inches wide, if it was real you would have a struggle getting furniture into the rooms.

    Maybe it's somewhere off in the future, and they're using transporters to beam the furniture into place. laugh

    It's funny, because on the other hand, some products called Apartments are actually just a room laugh

    I missed that this was two bedrooms as well. But it's a bit more elaborate than I was hoping for. I ended up building myself one from scratch using the Collective3d walls and doors kits. 

    Thanks to everyone for the suggestions.

    I thought the same as well, but I have zero construction experience with apartments. I followed a floor layout plan that I found online to get the wall and door layout. I figured apartments were just really different than houses lol. Only apartments I ever worked on were really just regular houses, that were divided up to milk the rent. Never worked in any real apartment buildings or condos before.

    Depending upon time period, architectural standards established, building codes, or whatever, it is hard to say what might be legit. But 21 inch door?! My two bedroom apartment has a 23.5 inch door that is for a linen closet by one of the bathrooms. The bedroom doors are approximately 31.5 inches. If the 21 inch one is for egress, then that might be an older home, one built before standards were agreed on, or without local approval.

    I visited a colonial house in Newport RI one Christmas that had all sorts of odd-sized doors, stairs, and windows the family had deal with. Fun though.

    As a general rule,  in North America, 32" inches is the most standard bedroom door,  to allow furniture to fit through.  Entry doors to a house or apartment are 36" inches,  to allow appliances to fit through.  Bathrooms  are usually 24-26" allowing the fixtures to fit through,   closet doors espeicially in hallways,  can be in the 21-22" inch range.  There are always variations,  but these mentioned are building code standards.  Being a renovator,  following real world dimensions  seems prudent.

     Some older homes,  like Victorians or Georgians and Colonials, would have been built before building code standards had been solidified and written down into documented form.  With limited supplies during   the construction phase, we could expect to see many of these older homes  install any door they could find available.

    My parents' house dated to around 1600. Front and back doors were the same size at 42" wide and 66" high 3'6"x5'6". The sizes were probably because when the house was built, much of the ground floor was a barn for cattle. A Red Devon cow could get through that up until the last month of pregnancy.

    Richard, I've seen some of those buildings when I lived in England. I just had an image of a dog I had who was pregnant waddling through a door and sticking. Great way to start my day with a laugh. Thank you, Mary
