One of the parts of the creation of any project related with interior design that demands some considerabel amount of time to setup is the materials settings. A very common type of material used to represent the floor, is the laminate wood floor. This is a material that generates a few reflections, not strong reflections, […]
The most experienced users may remember that a few years ago, when we only had YafRay to work with advanced Global Illumination in Blender 3D, the simulation of grass for external views in architectural visualization projects require a lot of workarounds to be created. The old YafRay didn`t support the Blender particles at that time. […]
I still believe that we may use both YafaRay and LuxRender in our architectural visualization projects, because LuxRender can`t beat YafaRay in one tiny detail: render speed. The quality and realism of the images created with LuxRender are amazing, but they demand long render times to become clear enough to be used in commercial projects. […]
If you have been using an unbiased render engine like LuxRender in the last couple weeks, you may have noticed that this type of render engine requires a long time to produce noise free images. By the time we hit the render button, the full image already appears to us, but with a lot of […]
If you have visited the blog in the last couple days, you may have noticed that LuxRender has a lot of interesting tools and features to help us in the process of creating great renderings for architectural visualization. Besides all the features like the Light Groups, this allows us to control almost each aspect of […]
If you are planning to use LuxRender as your main external render engine to produce architectural visualization, you really have to learn and apply light groups to your design process. Actually this is a quite simple feature of LuxRender, which can produce amazing results to artists that need different versions of a render, like a […]
There are a lot of great features and tools in LuxRender that can really help any architectural visualization artist, which uses Blender to model his works to create photo realistic renders. I was testing some of the features introduced lately in LuxRender and one of the features that really caught my attention was the Light […]
If you want to learn about advanced rendering techniques in Blender 3D to use in architectural visualization projects, a great source of information to learn that is to look for product visualization tutorials. The techniques and setup of scenes are quite similar on both fields, only the scale of the models change. A great example […]
