One of the new features of Blender Cycles in the latest stable release of Blender, is the support to render particles to simulate hair. This is really useful for animation and modeling, and could become handy for architectural visualization artists. It is easy to imagine that we will be able to use this feature to […]
From all tools available in Blender for animation, I believe that soft bodies and the ability to break polygons are not among the first choices of an artist to create anything for architecture. But, with some imagination and talent even those tools could be used to create interesting effects in architectural animation. That was exactly […]
