Since the release of Blender 3D 2.50 Alpha 0, a lot of new users are trying to learn the ways and new interface of Blender 2.50. For some tasks like modeling, which works most with the 3D View and keyboard shortcuts, it`s easy to find the differences. But, for tasks that depend on the location […]
The number of external renders engines compatible with Blender 3D is growing fast, and today we have several options to render projects using advanced global illumination algorithms and methods. A few months ago we only had mostly YafRay and PovRay to create our projects. I know there was other like Sunflow and Kerkythea, but most […]
I’m very pleased to announce that my latest book project was published last week! My new book is about Blender 3D again and it’s called Blender 3D Incredible Machines. This is a project in which I’m working on for the past year, and was finally able to complete the full set of chapters by the […]
The process of designing a courseware about 3d computer graphics is a challenge to set the objectives of the course, and balance the amount of theory and practice that should be applied to the program. Every time I have to do something like that I try to split those types of courses in two categories, […]
As you may have saw on all Blender 3D related web sites the first release of Blender 3D 2.50 is available to download! This is indeed a milestone for all the hard development efforts made in the past months and shows that all changes are going on the right direction. If you want to download […]
I often get e-mails and questions from architects and students interested on migrating their visualization workflow to Blender 3D, and start to produce 3d models for architecture. They get interested on Blender based on artwork seen on the internet and the great renderers produced in LuxRender, YafaRay and Indigo with Blender 3d used as the […]
In Blender 3D 2.50 we will find a lot of new tools and options to enhance our architectural visualization projects, and add atmospheric effects to animations, with an incredible speed and short workflow. For instance, if have to create an external animation showing a fly through around the site of a project, the environment could […]
The integration between Blender 3D and FreeStyle render, which is capable of create great NPR images is one of the features develop as part of the SoC 2008. It is still in development by Maxime Curione, but now the development is aimed to use FreeStyle with Blender 2.50. This a useful feature for architectural visualization […]
