After a successful crowdfunding campaign organized by Thomas Krijnen, we now have a dedicated build server to create versions of BlenderBIM, IfcConvert, and IfcGeomServer for Apple Silicon. If you visit the latest releases of IfcOpenShell on Github, we have separate builds for BlenderBIM with Mac M1 support. This is important to make all those tools […]
The easiest way to start using open source in architectural designs is by saving your projects using open standards. Whenever you have an architectural project, keep those files in formats like SVG, IFC, or anyone open and easily accessible. Since those are text files, you can open them anywhere and even extract data from them […]

I often post examples of high-profile projects using Blender to create marketing materials for spaces like penthouses and entire commercial buildings. Despite all of those examples, one of the benefits of having a tool like Blender accessible to anyone with a computer is the option to enable quick project layouts. No matter if you have […]

Therefore, I’m always trying to find projects stepping outside this field. Today I want to share a large renovation design of an office complex that […]

A common type of material used for furniture models is fabrics, and the guys from AmbientCG added a couple more to their […]
Here in Blender 3D Architect, I often recommend downloading cutout textures with lots of different collections. You can use those textures to add people, vegetation, and even furniture to your renders. One aspect of those textures that I never explained is the creation of cutout textures. For Blender 3D Architect Pro subscribers, I recently shared […]
