Using Blender 3D for Architectural Visualization
From all tools available in Blender for animation, I believe that soft bodies and the ability to break polygons are not among the first choices of an artist to create anything for architecture. But, with some imagination and talent even those tools could be used to create interesting effects in…
An architectural visualization artist is always looking for examples of animations and stills produced to show architecture. It is always good to know what other artists and studios are producing in terms of architectural visualization, and push our own work forward and improve the quality of images and animations. The…
The life of an architectural visualization artist is not made only by tutorials and technical stuff. Sometimes it is good to take a look on other artists work as a way to benchmark our own projects. And here is a nice example of animation created for architecture, using Blender and…
