When considering projects that require exterior visualizations, ensure your personal texture library contains all the necessary assets for creating pavements and roads. This aspect should not be overlooked when working in such environments. Applying poor textures to exterior surfaces in an otherwise great-looking visualization can create a misleading impression of your work. Do you have […]
What is the most important tool for an architect? You might think that having a robust 3D modeler or a BIM tool is the central piece of an architect workflow. But, you would be amazed to know that for the vast majority of projects, having a robust 2D drawing software is more than enough. For […]
Whenever I had the opportunity to explain the benefits of using open-source tools for architecture and design, I often emphasized the people behind each tool. For us, a vital aspect of the development of BlenderBIM and FreeCAD is that both of them have architects as developers, and it brings a lot of advantages. Most of […]
We often post resources and tips here in Blender 3D Architect, focusing on architectural visualization using Blender, our primary objective. Our objective and mission are to show how you can use open-source tools like Blender in your work. To expand the content published on the site, we started Blender 3D Architect Pro by the end […]
The artwork section here in Blender 3D Architect tries to showcase some of the most exciting projects using open source for architecture. I try to find projects with unique features or learning opportunities for site readers. In many cases, I can skip a design because it doesn’t offer anything other than eye candy. However, it […]
When looking for textures for your library, a great way to save time for future projects, you might skip some surfaces because they don’t seem helpful for architectural designs. One of the textures that are often overlooked is the asphalt texture. Why should an architect collect and save those types of surfaces? You would be […]
What is the primary purpose of using a BIM tool like BlenderBIM or FreeCAD? For many architects, one of the main advantages of using such platforms is creating a tridimensional model and generating your 2D documentation with a few clicks. Having this option in an architectural design saves a lot of time. Could we also […]
From all the assets and resources I often share here in Blender 3D Architect, I can’t deny that a furniture model is one of the most popular resources among our readers. One of the reasons for this is the ability to contribute to your asset library, and you never know when something like a high-quality […]
