pre-made 3D sets for Blender

I'm really starting to dig 3D animation. I'm hoping to get some other projects going besides just my Minecraft webseries just to see if I can try something a little less simplistic.

The problem is time. Since I try to produce a comedy video every week, then all the design that can go into animated shorts will probably take as much, if not more time than the actual animation (and that's not including lip-syncing, lighting, camera movements, sound design, music, and all the hair-pulling to punish myself for choosing filmmaking instead of drug dealing as a hobby and future profession)


TurboSquid has some great 3D models to download for free, or for small prices and they are fantastic (in fact, I've used some in videos before) That saves time there, but for the life of me I can't find any websites that sell pre-made sets or backgrounds.


Does anyone know of any sites that do this?
 
Haven't seem many of those. There used to be newsroom looking 2D backdrops at digital juice.com for doing talking head pieces. For quick set construction, you can make a cube, scale it up, then texture the walls. Most rooms are simply boxes with holes in them anyway. The wall textures can be made to illuminate the stuff inside it as well... so windows will provide more light, etc... without having to rig lighting to make it look more naturalistic.

If you have a real world room you need to recreate, "MagicPlan" and "MagicPlan CSI" are great phone/tablet apps that will let you quickly capture a floorplan to import and extrude into a room in Blender.
