One of the things that I really like to play around with Blender is motion graphics, not only to pratice animation, but to be able to add some nice intros to an architectural visualization animation. There are two nice Add-ons for Blender 2.5 that might help us on the production of motion graphics, specially with […]
One of the fields of knowledge of Blender that I don`t comment much here is rigging, because this is a topic that doesn`t get much use on architectural visualization projects. I do teach about rigging at the College, but only on non-related architectural visualization classes. This post is one of my firsts about rigging, because […]
As you may be aware of the new tools and functionalities of Blender 2.50, one of the new features is the possibility to animate anything with the new and redesigned animation tools. Back in Blender 2.4x we had to work on a few tricks to create animations with modifiers parameters or other values, especially if […]
A new version of the open source Unbiased render engine called LuxRender was release, and after a long sequence or release candidates, most of the bugs were corrected and we have a new stable release. Among several small tweaks and improvements, this release is very similar to what we already saw in the previous RC […]
One of the most common animations we use for architectural visualization is the walkthrough, which can take the viewer along the project. Another type of animation that architects often ask for is the so called growing animation. In this type of animation we can show all elements of a project, growing from scratch and things […]
The augmented reality can boost up the experiences provided in visualization in a way that was only a matter of science fiction a few years ago. I do believe that this is a technology that we will be using to create architectural visualization in the near future, even if this is still a subject that […]
In Blender 3d the shape Keys tool are mostly used in character animation projects, to control objects and meshes that deform. But, it doesn’t mean that we can’t use this tool in other objects, like architectural elements like doors and windows. To show you how to use this kind of tool, I have prepared a […]
A long time ago, all you would need to make a great presentation of a Project is a good set of skills on painting and illustration in crayons or watercolor. If you are going to work on with architectural visualization, you may have noticed that this market is not much different from advertisement or even […]
