More tutorials and examples of interior design with Blender 3D and YafaRay
In the past few days a lot of interesting materials and tutorials have been published about the use of YafaRay and Blender 3D for interior design and architectural visualization. I`m going to point out some great resources that works as examples of artwork created with Blender, and also as a way to learn more about [...]
Blender 3D as a CAD tool: Using the ProCAD script
One of the oldest wishes of artists that uses Blender 3D for architectural visualization is the addition of CAD tools in Blender, to make the modeling of architectural elements easier and with better precision options. A big improvement was made with the addition of new snapping tools in the Apricot project, but we could use [...]
Augmented reality and architectural visualization
The augmented reality can boost up the experiences provided in visualization in a way that was only a matter of science fiction a few years ago. I do believe that this is a technology that we will be using to create architectural visualization in the near future, even if this is still a subject that [...]
Rendering colored glass for architecture with Blender 3D and YafaRay
A few days ago I was talking about the uses and setup or architectural glass in Blender 3D and LuxRender, and today the article will deal with another common type of glass for architectural visualization projects, which is the colored glass. If your project has vitrails in windows or opening, this is a feature that [...]
Optimizing 3d models for interactive architectural visualization
One of the challenges to create interactive architectural visualization is to work with low poly models. This is extremely important if we want to have a fast and well designed application. For instance, all models that represent walls have a very low poly count, which make them ready to be part of an interactive animation. [...]
