Last week I was visiting an architectural office nearby and architect there took the opportunity to ask me how they could place Blender into their workflow. And to get the best answer to that I did a quick interview with them to find the right moment to use Blender. Most of their work is made […]
What would be a good amount of samples to get realism on a scene using Blender Cycles? This is a question that many artists face at the beginning of each project. For some scenes a low number may seem enough, but if you get lucky the number can get sky high! Do you think 400 […]
A good collection of HDR images can make the difference for an architectural visualization artist, and if you use Blender Cycles a lot I must say that an HDR map can really make the quality of your projects to change. This is why I`m always looking for new HDR maps and with more options I […]
The first thing that comes to mind when we have a project to model is to create everything using polygons, which in some cases can be a bad move. You will end up with a lot of geometry in your model that could be shown using nothing more than textures. That is an extremely good […]
What is the best option for an architect to work with 3d models and visualization of their projects? I always get this question from fellow architects every time the subject comes to the table. And you can imagine that my answer starts with the “B†letter. But, it’s quite common to be questioned about how […]
The tools available in Blender to create 3d models for architecture are more than enough to work right out of the box, and get your visualization projects on the way. But, we can always improve the workflow by using some amazing Addons for architectural modeling. And Blender has an amazing ecosystem of developers and Addons […]

Today a lot of artists put all their efforts on Blender Cycles, and it is a great option but we can’t forget that there are other renderes and […]
