For those of you that didn`t had anything planned for the weekend, I just found out a really incredible tutorial that will keep you busy for at least one hour! The guys from Blenderpedia posted a tutorial a few days ago showing how to model and render an interior using Blender Cycles. Even if you […]
With more artists starting to use Blender Cycles to render architecture every day, a lot of interesting artwork produced with Cycles will appear Blender user forums such as BlenderArtists. This week I found an interesting example of this type of artwork produced by an artist called camara. He manages to create some really nice renders […]
One of the best ways to add people and trees to renders in architectural visualization is with textures. If you manage to find textures with the proper alpha map or with a transparent background, you will be able to add these textures to a plane and use them on your project. This is a much […]

If you want to create in 3d a famous […]
Besides furniture models made by famous designers, you should also try to collect small objects to be used on scenes like a kitchen render. On those types of scenes you will find yourself working really hard to find or create all kinds of small objects to place over tables and other surfaces. And this spice […]

A good collection of furniture will never be complete without some commonly used pieces of furniture, like chairs created by famous designers or companies. If you want to add a Jules Chair from IKEA to your library, a 3d model of this particular chair was uploaded to Blendswap a few days ago by an artist […]
Back on the first days when I get started with Blender for architecture visualization, one of the renders that I always liked was Indigo. Of course, at that time the renderer was still a freeware and with much less options and features. I’m glad to say that I will get back to use Indigo for […]
