The primary technique used to create architectural models is subdivision or polygon modeling because it fits better with the shapes we have to make. However, if you change the subject and go to furniture modeling, you might find specific models that demand more control over smooth shapes. For those cases, a NURBS modeler is the […]
When you think about the word open-source, it might give you the impression that it applies to software only with projects like Blender. But, the concept goes way beyond that and involves physical objects like furniture. An example is the Mill Table from Giorgio Gibiino. He and the team from StudioGIB develop open-source designs by […]
For animation projects, you will probably need a way to manage rendering hundreds or a few thousand frames. When you have multiple cameras for longer advertising project it may require a storyboard and other pre-production material to help you in the project. If you often work with animation for architecture you will like to know […]
When you have an architectural project rendered in Cycles or Eevee, and you need to convert it to a virtual reality application, you probably will have to convert parts of the model manually. If your scene has millions of polygons, it might add a significant load to some virtual reality devices, like smartphone powered solutions. […]
What is the best option to work with post-production architectural visualization? At some point, you will have to create a render and later, make small adjustments in either color or visual aspects of your image. We work in a field that has close ties to photography and much of the tools we use, will eventually […]
One of the publishers with more Blender books on the market is Packt, with some great titles already published and others still in production. I can say that because I`m on the process of working as a technical reviewer for one those new titles. I was just informed that Pack has started a series of […]
It is always good to have a wide range of options to choose when we have to start an architectural visualization project, and today our options to render projects with Blender are increasing in quantity and quality. I just found another open source renderer that is compatible with Blender, which uses unbiased methods to simulate […]
Among all free alternatives to AutoCAD we have FreeCAD and HeeksCAD on top of the list as the best options for open source CAD solutions. Last week I already posted a small tutorial I found about how to use FreeCAD and today we keep going with the free CAD series and the tutorials shows how […]
