Last week I did a post listing some of the external renders available for Blender 2.6 and how they can help us to produce quality architectural visualization with Blender. And this week I found out that another big commercial render has now an exporter for Blender. I`m talking about Maxwell Render that doesn`t have a […]
Even with faster ways to light up a scene these days with render engines like YafaRay, LuxRender and Cycles we still find room for old school style lighting for architecture. If you want to learn a way to light up a scene using the Blender internal render and with some composite tricks, I found this […]
Just a few years ago we had so little options to choose when we had to use external renders in Blender to boost our visualization work. And today there are so many options that an artist could get really confused to choose only one, and with Cycles as a welcome newcomer the challenge to pick […]
Here is another study comparing the results of a render made with Blender Internal, Blender Cycles and YafaRay using an architectural scene as a basis. A few years ago there were very little options to choose in terms of external render engines for Blender, and today we can`t complaint about having options. You can choose […]
In most cases an architectural visualization project will require some objects carefully placed at the scene, to give a sense of scale to the image and to demonstrate how the scene will look like when the project becomes real. And to use furniture in architectural visualization you could simple take the model from an online […]
If you ever had to apply textures to any object in Blender, you probably got yourself trying to place the textures on the right place. To take full control of texture placement we have to use UV Mapping. Do you know how to work with texture mapping? For those of you that doesn`t have any […]
How many times did you use the Blender Game Engine to produce interactive architectural visualizations? A lot of architects and artists using Blender doesn’t know that they can actually create high quality presentations for architecture, by using something like a 3d game, to allow their clients to interact and walk around their projects. And besides […]
As an architect that works mostly with visualization of projects and who teaches, and started to get involved with computer graphics since the first year of college back on the mid 90’s, I must say that I have choose the right path. The architectural visualization industry is a big part of the cg field and […]
