Using Blender 3D for Architectural Visualization
One of the best tools to use along with Blender in architectural visualization is SketchUp, because of the simplicity of the modeling tools, which allows an architect to create quick volumes to evaluate the shape of a model. I always recommend to my students that before a project goes to…
The demand for projects that follow the guidelines of a more green architecture and carbon free buildings, it`s becoming even more important to have a basis on techniques and tools for green design and energy analysis. Last week I was browsing around the web when I just found a free…
One of the primary tasks of an architectural visualization artist is to create a 3d model of an architectural project, in order to add lights and textures to create a realistic visualization of the building. Besides the main architectural project, we sometimes have to work on secondary 3d models or…
Let`s take a small break on the GPU rendering articles and go to another trend, this time is about internet. We have a bunch of applications been released this days with online versions like office suites and even illustration tools like the amazing Sumo Paint. A few weeks ago I…
In the past few days a lot of interesting news and demos about GPU rendering appear o twitter and user forums. It`s quite clear that after the announcement of Octane Render and Arion, we will start to see even more releases related with GPU render. I will start with the…
A couple days ago I was talking about the announcement of Octane Render with the clever use of the GPU as to create interactive renderings. Besides the speed and interactive nature of the images, Octane still have the advantage of use unbiased methods to create their images, resulting in realistic…
It was made public yesterday the existence of a new renderer called Octane Render. This is new software that works with Unbiased render algorithms in a different way than we are used to interact. If you have already used LuxRender or Indigo Render, both using unbiased render methods, you know…
A few days ago I published here on the blog an article recommending a great tutorial about architectural modeling for a building, designed to be used in interactive visualization projects like games. This tutorial shows techniques and tools to create the external environment of a building in 3ds Max, and…
