If you are using Blender 3D for architectural visualization for some time, you probably know that we don’t have large libraries of furniture models available in the native Blender 3d file format. A good library of 3d models to use in architectural visualization projects is crucial to speed up the development of any project, and […]
I often get e-mails and questions from architects and students interested on migrating their visualization workflow to Blender 3D, and start to produce 3d models for architecture. They get interested on Blender based on artwork seen on the internet and the great renderers produced in LuxRender, YafaRay and Indigo with Blender 3d used as the […]
The use of scripts to create routines and do repetitive tasks in 3d modeling is a common practice among more experienced artists, and for architectural modeling it’s no different. In Blender 3D we use Python to create scripts that can help us in the modeling process. From time to time, I show a few scripts […]
Even with lots of free assets available on the internet, it’s quite common for architectural visualization artists the need for modeling their own models. For instance, some of my clients create both the architectural plans and also the furniture. Since this furniture is exclusively created for those projects, I can’t find reference images or 3d […]
In Blender 3D 2.50 we will find a lot of new tools and options to enhance our architectural visualization projects, and add atmospheric effects to animations, with an incredible speed and short workflow. For instance, if have to create an external animation showing a fly through around the site of a project, the environment could […]
Earlier this week I was talking about how to control and make the camera of Blender 3D, behave like a real camera with settings such as ISO, Exposure and FStop with the help of LuxRender. Actually, we have to use those settings using the controls of LuxRender. This is a great way to make our […]
I was reading an interesting article last week, about the importance to know and use the camera settings of a renderer or 3d software to adjust the light of a scene. The tutorial was all written for adjustments on 3ds Max camera using Mental Ray, but immediately I realize that this could be a great […]
The integration between Blender 3D and FreeStyle render, which is capable of create great NPR images is one of the features develop as part of the SoC 2008. It is still in development by Maxime Curione, but now the development is aimed to use FreeStyle with Blender 2.50. This a useful feature for architectural visualization […]
