An upcoming update to Blender will open a lot of new modeling projects based on procedural controls with the Geometry Nodes editor. With this new editor, you will be able to control and create dozens of new shapes using nodes as if you were creating materials or editing PBR textures. The concept might be difficult […]
Besides getting a real 3D object on the web, you can quickly jump from a simple 3D model to interactive presentations and step into Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality. One of the critical components of this technology is the incredible Three.js framework, a foundation for a lot of 3D web-based content. For instance, if you […]
In case you are looking to start using other options to develop your architectural designs like FreeCAD, a sample project would help you understand the workflow and possibilities of such a tool. Do you want to download a full architectural design created in FreeCAD? Here is a project from a user called rmavrichev, which posted […]
From all the current projects under development in Blender that has a goal of improving architectural design, the BlenderBIM is by far one of the most promising Add-ons. It receives frequent updates and can turn Blender into a real option to develop architectural projects using modern BIM standards. If you want to take a look […]
In the past couple of weeks, we published some exciting news for people trying to use Blender to develop sustainable architectural designs. There are currently two projects that will push Blender to become a reference in such projects. The first one is an Add-in that integrates Ladybug tools to Blender using the Sverchok Nodes. Another […]
As we usually mention here in Blender 3D Architect, using tools such as Blender in architecture often brings marketing and still image visualization as their primary and only potential contribution for a design. It can go much further than “simple” visualization with the current companion tools under development. When you mix those tools with existing […]
When we start to think about Blender as a tool to improve your architectural designs and workflow, we usually think about the benefits of having a 3D model for visualization and a later realistic render with either Eevee or Cycles. What if I told you that Blender could go much beyond simple visualization? It can […]
A significant number of artists that work with architectural visualization doesn’t have a background with technical drawing or experience with architectural details. That is not a problem in the vast majority of cases, because you don’t need this type of experience to create architectural renders. However, it is always a plus to study and analyze […]
