Just a few weeks ago an article here at Blender 3D Architect mentioned a script that will help artists to import data directly from AutoCAD to Blender. This will be a great help for anyone using Blender to create 3d models for architecture. But, several readers pointed at the comments section of that same article […]
It is never enough to collect as much furniture models as you can to speed up the modeling of a scene in architecture. And this time you can download a small collection of 3d models created by an artist called skororu. Those models are all available on a creative commons license, and are not hosted […]
Another nice example of how YafaRay artists can produce quality architectural visualization with Blender, even without stable releases for the Blender 2.6x series. To use YafaRay with Blender today, you must download a custom build from graphicall.org, which is the easy way to get YafaRay working with Blender. An artist called stoneage posted at the […]
There are a lot of examples and projects about Blender and Cycles for architecture related to interior visualization. But, only a few of them deal with natural light sources like the sun. A few days ago one of my students ask me about the setup for a daylight scene in Cycles. He said that there […]
When you start an architectural visualization project modeled with Blender these days, which renderer do you try to use? A lot of people is starting to move all their projects to Cycles, and it is not just because it is already there, you don`t have to install any extra software or exporter. The renderer is […]
The amount of work required to create a contemporary scene in architectural visualization doesn’t compare itself with the work required to create antique architecture. At least, some specific periods of history will demand a greater amount of modeling work from the artist. Just to name one of those periods, I could point out the baroque. […]
The BlenderArt magazine has a new issue released just a couple of days ago, and there is a particular article at the magazine that could be of interest for most architectural visualization artists using Blender. This article was written by Miroslav Horvath and is about terrain modeling with Blender. The article is about the tools […]
If you ever got a file from a client in FBX format and had to convert it to OBJ or other formats to make it work with Blender, you will like this quick tutorial. As part of the Google Summer of Code 2012 a developer called Alexander Gessler is working on to create an FBX […]
