You may be aware that last week a new version of Blender was released, and with Blender 2.58 a huge amount of bugs were fixed. But, among those bug fixes we have some new tools and options in Blender 2.58. One of those new tools is an Add-on called Inset Polygon that comes with Blender […]
Here are some new findings about modeling for architecture, with the objective of creating a spiral staircase in 3d. This time the tutorials use the polygon modeling tools of Maya, which just looks like other tools available in Blender. There are two videos created by an artist called Hacobo covering the creation of two types […]
On projects that must show the exterior view of any kind of build, sometimes we have to work on the structures of those buildings and create them in 3d. Earlier this week Autodesk just posted some interesting videos about how to model metal structures for architecture. The videos are all produced with 3ds max in […]
How to get started with a modeling project in architectural visualization? One of the first steps to start a project is to get the technical drawings as a background in Blender to start working with them, and avoid to get lost with measurements. When we have the technical drawings, this is a great way to […]
The technique called polygon modeling is often used to create architectural visualization models, because we can have a lot of control over the topology of an object created with polygons. One of the highlights of polygon modeling, is that we can use almost any type of guide or tutorial, even from other 3d softwares, because […]
In my previous post I mentioned an Add-on for Blender 2.5 that enable us to work with CAD like tools in Blender, working with the edge of 3d models. But, what about Blender native tools, can they handle precision modeling? For new users that want to work with Blender for architectural modeling, using the native […]
The use of CAD like tools in Blender has always been a request from most users that choose Blender as their main tool to create architectural models. In tools like SketchUp and even AutoCAD, we have several Add-ons that help us to use CAD like tools in Blender, and this morning I just remembered one […]
One of the techniques that I try to avoid during modeling is the use of a Boolean modifier to create geometry. If you ever used a Boolean modifier on a project, you probably noticed that this modifier adds a lot of triangular faces to the polygon structure. This is really to make changes to the […]
