Using Blender 3D for Architectural Visualization
The new Solidify Modifier added to the Blender 3D 2.50 development is making a huge success among 3d artists, and it will be indeed a great tool for anyone who ever tried to work with poly modeling using curved surfaces. Without the Solidify modifier or script, we have to work…
Among all the techniques used to create 3d models for visualization, the most used for architectural visualization is edge modeling followed by subdivision modeling. The edge modeling technique is the one that provides the highest level of control over precision and allows the artist to set measurements and divisions based…
From all predictions about the future of architectural visualization, one of them is becoming a reality right now, and it’s the adoption of realtime rendering technology to make presentations and develop projects side by side with clients. A realtime render engine os designed to help on the development, and not…
For those of you that look for news about Blender 3d 2.50 developments, something new was added to the SVN and will probably be included on the next test release. Well, the tool is not entirely new, because it was available as a Python script in past Blender releases, and…
Since the release of Blender 3D 2.50 Alpha 0, a lot of new users are trying to learn the ways and new interface of Blender 2.50. For some tasks like modeling, which works most with the 3D View and keyboard shortcuts, it`s easy to find the differences. But, for tasks…
One of the most commented subjects on the news this month is the COP15 meeting, where various nations are trying to find a way to stop or reduce global warming. How we as architects or visualization specialists could help preventing global warming? One of my students asked me this question…
The number of external renders engines compatible with Blender 3D is growing fast, and today we have several options to render projects using advanced global illumination algorithms and methods. A few months ago we only had mostly YafRay and PovRay to create our projects. I know there was other like…
From all other 3d softwares available for architectural visualization, the one that I keep really close to me for planning a project is SketchUp, because of the easy to use tools and the short time required to create volumetric shapes. The downside of SketchUp is the lack of tools to…
