There are a few parts of an architectural visualization project that demands a lot of working with the modeling. To model geometrical and clean surfaces like walls, we don’t have to dedicate much time, basically because it’s only a set of extruded faces and other primitive shapes. Well, it’s like that for almost all projects. […]
If you have visited the blog in the last couple days, you may have noticed that LuxRender has a lot of interesting tools and features to help us in the process of creating great renderings for architectural visualization. Besides all the features like the Light Groups, this allows us to control almost each aspect of […]
If you are planning to use LuxRender as your main external render engine to produce architectural visualization, you really have to learn and apply light groups to your design process. Actually this is a quite simple feature of LuxRender, which can produce amazing results to artists that need different versions of a render, like a […]
In the last articles here in the blog, I’m talking a lot about the advantages and uses of external render engines used with Blender 3D. I have to say that I really like to use those render engines, and today very few renders are created entirely with the Blender internal render. But, it doesn’t mean […]
There are a lot of great features and tools in LuxRender that can really help any architectural visualization artist, which uses Blender to model his works to create photo realistic renders. I was testing some of the features introduced lately in LuxRender and one of the features that really caught my attention was the Light […]
If you want to learn about advanced rendering techniques in Blender 3D to use in architectural visualization projects, a great source of information to learn that is to look for product visualization tutorials. The techniques and setup of scenes are quite similar on both fields, only the scale of the models change. A great example […]
One of the big news about the rendering market last week was the announcement of new releases from two major commercial render engines. In a few weeks we will see a new version of V-Ray and FryRender, both dedicated to work with real-time rendering. They are called V-Ray RT and FryRender RT, and as a […]
In the last few days I’m playing around with LuxRender 0.6 RC3 a lot. I was testing some of the features of this incredible unbiased render engine for Blender 3D, and decided to write a short article about a feature that every architectural visualization artist needs to know: photometric lights. With LuxRender we can use […]
