From all types of textures that you could find for a project or personal library, one of the most useful is the seamless type. They receive this name because we can tile the images side by side and no visible border will appear. With a set of tiles, you can add textures to large surfaces […]
For architectural visualization projects that don’t have dimension lines on it, a human scale can become an essential element of the project for people to feel how big or small room is. How do you insert human scales to your project? The most common way to add those scales is with a cutout image of […]
When you have to represent nature in architectural visualization, the use of textures can become the small difference between a natural surface, and something that doesn’t resemble a living thing. And to get nature right you probably will need lots of leaf textures. Would you like to download a set of more than 200 textures […]
When you have to setup a scene to render using Blender Cycles for architecture, you may already have noticed that HDR maps are an essential element of getting a high-quality light environment. Of course, a problem in this kind of situation is how to get HDR maps in high resolution? Do you want to download […]
Among the various types of resources I usually find for architectural visualization and that is shared here in Blender 3D Architect, a lot of them lately are coming from game related content. Since game artists also need high-quality textures and furniture, is not unusual to find whole collections of game art that can improve architectural […]
At some point in your architectural visualization project, you will have to deal with all kinds of textures and among them, we can look normal maps as one of the most important of them. The problem here is that not all textures and libraries have normal maps available, and we have to find a way […]
If you want to setup a standard material in architecture such as bricks, it would be great to have some seamless textures to play around. With seamless textures, you can repeat those images on a large surface and have no apparent “connection” between each one of them. Even for artists, that choose to paint their […]
In the past few weeks, I found an incredible collection of materials and textures created for Unreal Engine, and besides the fact that this is a fantastic resource for game development it could also be useful for architectural visualization. Wait, how a collection of materials designed for the Unreal Engine could help architectural visualization artists […]
