It appears that most architectural visualization projects made with Blender and rendered in Cycles have interior scenes as the main subject! Here is another project from an artist called wassim24 and posted at the Blenderartists forums. It is an internal view, and the project name is “The cabinet“. At the bottom of the page, the […]
If you have some free time and want to put your modeling skills to the test, one of the best exercises related to architectural visualization is to work on some furniture models. It is a win-win situation in all aspects. First, you get to practice your architectural modeling skills and at the same time will […]
From all the ways we have to learn how to create an architectural visualization with Blender, the one I find most pleasant is with the careful observation of great artwork from other artists. Some of them are kind enough to share some of their settings like lights and render options. Here is a great example […]
The setup of a certain group of materials sometimes demands a lot of work and tests to find the best combination of nodes, textures and lights. One of those materials is glass, because of their nature we must place some key elements around the scene to reflect over the surface and get a good effect […]
What do you use to start a project? A photo from a real world environment? The work of another artist? Sometimes it might be much easier to use a reference to get started, and another project that looks like the one you are trying to create may give the right directions. A few days ago […]
An architectural visualization artist has a lot of tasks during a regular workday, and we can place the “collect new furniture models” on top of the list! If you ever tried to create a project where key furniture was missing, you know how important it may become to build a large library with lots of […]
A new version of Blender is on its way and some important updates may help architectural visualization artists to create better interior visualizations! With Blender 2.75 we will be able to use Light Portals in Blender Cycles, which may improve the speed of the rendering for internal scenes, because fewer samples will be required to […]
What is the best way to light up a scene in Blender Cycles for architecture? The best answer for that question is: “it will depend on the context, shape and setup of the scene”. There is no right or wrong way, but different solutions for the same problem. Look at this great example of internal […]
