Another great example of architecture made with Blender and YafaRay, now from an artist called Arkinauta. At this thread at the YafaRay user forums we can check out some of his latest works, and I have to say that he has an amazing collection of renderings. One of his projects is called FOCO Galery, which […]
There is a simple rule to work with YafaRay and render scenes for architecture, which determines the render method used for a project. When the scene is an external view we should use Pathtracing as render method. And for internal views the best option would be Photon mapping. Those are the best environments for each […]
Looking at the YafaRay user forums, I found another great example of renderings made for architectural visualization. This time the name of the artist is petypon and he manages to create some amazing images. At this thread you will find some of his images, and here comes the good part, petypon was kind enough to […]
It is almost that time of the year, where we will take a look on the projects that will be submitted by open source software developers, to the Google Summer of Code program. This is an interesting project from Google that can fund the development of new tools or improvements for open source tools, using […]
I was browsing the YafaRay user forums last week and found a few great examples of architectural rendering made with YafaRay and Blender. The author of those renderings is a user called suomi, which shows some impressive skills on both YafaRay setup and post production on GIMP. In the image below you will find one […]
When the goal of a project is to produce an animation for architecture, we may need to use a render farm to speed up the render and be able to deliver the files without blow the deadline. If you don’t have a render farm in your office or school, a good option will be to […]
When we have to create a scene that uses lots of objects to represent objects like grass or leaves, we end up with a high load on our systems, making the process of rendering the scene really difficult and time consuming. One of the solutions for this problem is the use of instancing for rendering, […]
One of the features that I miss the most on Blender 2.5x series is the possibility to use advanced rendering features from YafaRay and LuxRender. The scripts that will allow us to export scenes for those renderers are still in development, and will probably be done by the end of the year. For the YafaRay […]
