Almost all architects that I know have and unexplainable joy to work on sketches and concepts for projects living only on their minds. To start working on a new concept they only need a peace of paper like a napkin or on most advanced cases, a computer with Blender installed. An artist called Jonathan Sousa […]
It been a while since anything related to YafaRay here on Blender 3D Architect, and most of that is because I couldn't find interesting works related to architecture and rendered with YafaRay. One of the possible reasons for that is called Blender Cycles. With a powerful renderer like Cycles already available in Blender, a lot […]
As an architect working everyday with projects created on several different CAD tools, I have to say that with time you get used to find work arounds to get CAD data into Blender with a minimal loss of information. There are several options to export data from CAD tools like AutoCAD to formats like DXF […]
The use of HDRI maps for rendering in architecture is a great way to add realism to a scene, using real-world information to the lighting of a project. The so called Image Based Lighting is fully supported by Blender Cycles, which means that we can use those maps to add light information to our scenes. […]
It is time to check another great project developed by an well known artist specialized on architectural visualization. If you don't know the work of Enrico Cerica, I strongly recommend you to visit his gallery of projects, with lots of impressive images created with Blender, Octane Render and some old projects rendered on other softwares. […]
The amount of architects using Blender to create beatiful images from their projects is growing everyday, but some tools like SketchUp have already a huge user base. All these people can create 3d models easily with SketchUp and most of them dont even have any technical background or knowledge in architecture. But, even with a […]
Lets get started with the new year by growing our texture library with some great inputs from a collection called Texturer. This an interesting texture library for Blender users, and artists using other 3d tools as well, because the terms of use for all textures on the site is really permissive. Well, you can do […]
Is it possible to work on Blender to create interactive visualization for architecture? of course it is possible! And if you are an old reader of the blog, then probably you already saw some great examples of interactive visualization made with the Blender Game Engine. An artist called Martin Hedin is trying to push the […]
