We often receive messages from architectural visualization artists willing to migrate to a full Blender workflow. Among the most common questions between those artists is the ideal hardware to work with architectural visualization. For quite some time our recommendation was to get a GTX graphics card to use with Cycles because AMD cards didn’t work […]
In the upcoming weeks, Blender will receive an update, and you will be able to get version 2.79 that brings a lot of new features. Some of those features will either improve or change the way you work with architectural visualization with Blender. On each new version of Blender, you may feel lost with the […]
A good amount of 3d artists working with architecture chooses to use SketchUp as their primary tool to create 3d models. Since it is a relatively easy way to create 3d models that have a more “geometrical” look. Despite the fact that it might be easy to use, SketchUp lacks a good option to render […]
Every time I see a project that is either interesting or that could provide useful information for our readers, I put that on a list to share with our readers. But, eventually, one of them may not get published. I was looking at my old notes here when I found this beautiful project of a […]
In the past few days, we are sharing some great projects from artists using Blender and Corona. But, don’t forget that Cycle still has a significant role on any architectural artist using Blender. Not only because it is already available in Blender by default, but for the potential to create extraordinary images. And here is […]
The best way to improve your skills with architectural visualization in Blender is practice. I do have lots os students that still believe in on a magic button or technique, which will solve all aspects of a scene quickly. There are a few tricks and techniques that help to create better renders, but you must […]
A common subject here on Blender 3D Architect is the visualization of interior scenes using Blender. Usually, I would point you to an article where an artist shares some of his settings and techniques. It is an incredible way to learn and contemplate some digital art produced with Blender. What could be better than just […]
A long time ago you only could render architectural projects with Blender using either “Blender Internal” or “YafaRay.” By the time I started using Blender, I believe was around version 2.34, it even had a default tab for YafRay without the middle “a.” Today, you have a broad range of options to choose a renderer.
