One project with an incredible record of improving and adding new features to Blender over time is the Google Summer of Code. The project is an initiative from Google to offer a way for students to work in open-source software during their summer break in the North Hemisphere. Blender was first accepted in the project […]
The material editor from Blender is a part of the software where we spend significant time working with PBR shaders and connecting maps to create realistic surfaces for our renders. A critical part of this process is using the Principled BSDF shader to hook everything. As part of the constant updates to Blender, we might […]
When you start creating an architectural project in Blender, a significant part of that data will depend on the design, like walls, floors, and other architectural elements. Different parts will eventually come from external libraries like furniture and assets. For that reason, it is critical to have a great asset browser to insert 3D models […]
In the last few months, you probably heard about the qualities and groundbreaking tools offered by Blender 2.8. That is true, and if you tried to use the new user interface and options such as Eevee for real-time rendering, you would see how those statements reflect the truth. The new release cycle of Blender will […]
The creation of furniture models in Blender might also involve the use of tools to make cloths, which might improve the realist of some furniture pieces. In some cases, you will find artists using tools like Marvelous Designer to create such cloth pieces. In the not so distant future, you might create those cloth objects […]
In some projects, you may have a massive amount of objects in your 3D Viewport, which could make the editing process a lot harder. For instance, you may want to select a single object and preview the results of texture tiling. If you don’t have any way to isolate that object from the rest, you […]
