Python Scripts for ArchViz

Blender 2.53: How to use the Bevel Weight tool

Since the release of Blender 2.53 in Beta stage I began to test in my architectural visualization workflow. This is a much better release to start testing your modeling workflow, since a beta release is more stable than the previous alpha. But, like most of the experienced Blender users I`m unable to find some of [...]


Book Review: Blender 2.49 Scripting

One of the things that I keep saying to all my students is that if they want to work with big and complex projects in Blender, they must learn how to work with Python to create custom tools and scripts to accelerate the creation process. This is a rule for all kinds of environment scenarios, [...]


Modeling for architecture with Python scripts: Collecting ideas

In just a few days I will start a new research project involving the development of a few tools and scripts for Blender, aimed in architectural modeling. I know that some of those tools may already exist, but the focus of the project is to find the best way to manage procedural modeling in Blender. [...]


Blender 2.50: Script adds stereo camera for architectural visualization

In a time with lots of videos and animations using stereo techniques to produce 3d content, it wouldn’t be bad to think that someday we will have to produce 3d videos for architectural visualization. The perception of interior visualization would be even improved due to the improved depth perception on the video. In Blender 2.49 [...]


Aligning 3d objects with Python for architectural modeling

The use of scripts to create routines and do repetitive tasks in 3d modeling is a common practice among more experienced artists, and for architectural modeling it’s no different. In Blender 3D we use Python to create scripts that can help us in the modeling process. From time to time, I show a few scripts [...]
