A common sense between artists using Blender and Cycles to create architectural visualization is that you need high GPU options. And a few types of options like integrated boards from mobile computers wouldn’t meet the minimum requirements for architectural visualization. I do agree with that at some level because you can always put the heavy […]
Here is an incredible work of the 3d artist named ArcHWiZ that uses Blender and Cycles to show a small living room, along with some nice 3d furniture models. For those artists looking for benchmarks on samples for rendering, a scene like the one created for this project required 3000 samples and 40 minutes to […]
I was reviewing some of my articles from past years and found an interesting project, posted by congcong009 at the Blenderartists forums. The project itself and the post are a bit old already, but the artwork is still worth the look. By the time it was published FreeStyle wasn’t yet a viable option to create […]
An unusual type of 3d model that is sometimes required to create 3d visualizations from architecture is a sculpture. With the lower prices of 3d scan gear, it is easy to find examples of 3d scans from people and even food! But, what about art based sculptures? The website named Three D Scans will help […]
On several occasions, we do share with our readers some interesting resources related to trees, people or some other assets that you can use in architectural visualization projects. Some of those projects will require you to a basically knowledge of Blender to properly use them efficiently. For instance, if you have a tree model or […]
Among all projects that we usually keep track along our work, one of the goals is to find useful information related to architectural details or settings. Some artists are kind enough to share them by posting screenshots of specific details about their projects. From one of those projects, we found a set of renders made […]
One of the key points to get a good performance in Cycles is to understand how path tracing works. When you get to realize that in some scenes, you have to add some extra lights or use, portals things will evolve quickly to a final solution. From a space point of view, path tracing “doesn’t […]
One of the topics that catch people’s attention during a lecture about lighting with Blender is volumetric light. In a broader context and not only about architecture. But, can we use it for architectural visualization? For commercial advertisement, I can’t see much use on volumetric lights for scenes like interior views. But, if your objective […]
