Aerial objects? such as trees, furniture etc etc

Hi

I need to do a 3D floor plan for a friend and I was wondering if there are some aerial images of trees, furniture, kitchens, general household appliances anywhere??
Im planning on doing this in SU and then exporting the aerial view and placing the aerial images in photoshop.

Also, is doing a 3d floorplan in SU ideal? Or are there other programs that can do it in just as much detail? I usually design it in SU and then render it in Vray so the output is pretty good, any other programs out there that can do this at once?

Thanks

For trees...if you go to the DigArts site, there are some samples that you can download of small leaf clumps etc. These are already on Photoshop layers, so you can composite them in various combinations to make a variety of top-down trees.
This was the result of a few minutes playing in PS.

I have also shared some LayOut scrapbook things here:

I am not sure how useful a LO scrapbook for you is but if you rename the extension to zip, you can extract the png files.

thanks heaps for the reply... what about furniture? ie chairs, beds etc etc?

As a last resort, you could simply bring a ton of furniture into SU...either the stuff you intend to actually use or generic stuff from the Warehouse. Then you could go to plan view (with or without perspective) and do a SU or photoreal render and use the Magic Wand tool in PS to remove the background. Save as a png overlay. It's probably quicker than spending hours scouring the Net.
