Rendering a bedroom with Blender Cycles
In the near future we will have a great addition for architectural visualization artists using Blender, which is the new Blender render engine called Cycles. I’m studying Cycles a lot, because I want to start working with as much projects as I can use it, and because I’m building an online course about Cycles. So far the course is for Brazilian Portuguese speakers only, but I do have plans to start some online courses produced for architecture in English. And one of the first courses would be about Cycles for architecture.
In the meantime, you can check out a really nice example of what we can do with Cycles for architecture in this project available to download at BlendSwap. It is a full scene rendered with Cycles showing a bedroom. The file has all the geometry, but no textures. Even without the textures, we can learn a lot about how to light up a scene using Cycles for interior visualization.

Thanx

Very nice and thank you for that input !
Cylces does support instancing, is that right ?
Does Cylces support Alphamaps ?
How long did it take to render and what was the renderresolution ?
Kind regards
Alain
hi, i started using blender for 3d moddeling in architecture. is cycles the internal render in blender 2.5 to understand? and if so… can u maybe give some links on how to use cycles? as in some tutorials…
Great scene, amazing work. Thanks for sharing it.
Hi Allan
I would like to know when your course about Cycles will be ready even for English speaker!
Thanks

@Florian: Cycles will be included officially in 2.61 (around december, two months from now)… But you can find versions of blender that already include an unfiniched version of Cycles at : http://www.graphicall.org...
It’s safe to play with, but it is not production-ready yet…
Here’s a link to a good introduction tutorial for Cycles: “http://vimeo.com/31129475″…
Now I have a question of my own guys… I can’t get Blender to import DXF files!
I know this is not a forum, but I need a little help here!
Here’s a link to a thread I posted on Blender Artists: “http://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?208651-DXF-import-not-working-in-2.56&highlight=”
Tried what these guys recommended, but the file saved from 2.49 gives me a totally empty file on 2.60…
Any ideas?!
