Backyard and flowers with Blender Cycles

A reader from Blender 3D Architect once wrote to us asking for more projects with external views rendered in Blender.

Update on NPR rendering for architecture with Freestyle

Before we start to work with photo real renderings generated by sophisticated softwares, the most used technique to show and represent architectural visualization projects was NPR, which is the acronym to Non-photorealistic rendering. The images were generated using techniques such as watercolor or airbrush. To use NPR style images in 3d softwares today we have […]
