In several texture collections libraries, you will find lots of options for interiors like wood, fabrics, stone, and other surfaces. But, when the project has an external environment you might find you are short on options for some surfaces. Do you want to download some free textures related to external pavements? The guys from SeedMesh […]
Here in Blender 3D Architect we often share with our readers links to useful resources for architectural visualization like furniture models, texture, books, and other products. One particular type of resource has a plethora of options for downloads nowadays, which are textures. Not so long ago you would have a hard time finding quality textures […]
A texture library is an incredibly valuable asset for any architectural visualization artist. Regarding architectural interiors, you will almost immediately start thinking about textures for surfaces like wood, bricks, tiles, and others.

An easy way to add context to any architectural visualization is with the use of human scales in your images. You can add a 3D model of a person or choose something simpler like a cutout texture. How big is your cutout texture library? Today you will have the opportunity to grow that collection with […]
Here we are back with another excellent resource for architectural visualization using Blender, which is this case is a texture. Some of the benefits for this texture are the optimization offered for Cycles and the incredible resolution (8k). The texture comes from the Friendly Share repository, which consists of a marble brick surface. You will […]
When you find a resource online for an external renderer like Corona Render, which most of the time will have 3ds Max as the main reference you will probably wonder if you can use that with Blender. For most cases, it will not work if you get a native file like “MAX” or “MAT”. But, […]
Yesterday we posted an article with some updates regarding HDR maps for architecture. Today it is time to catch up with some recent additions to the online repositories of PBR materials. What is a PBR material? With that kind of material, you will be able to craft realistic surfaces on both Cycles and Eevee. The […]
