As part of the work of an architectural visualization artist using Blender, we sometimes must create architectural models with the modeling tools provided by Blender. And for this type of 3d modeling, we must rely on precision modeling tools to create the correct geometry with the right scale and measurements. Some people still think that […]
Here is another great download for anyone using Blender for architectural visualization, ad this time is an Elle Chair designed by John Niero. This 3d model was posted at the YafaRay user forums and was created by an artist called stoneage. You will find the link for download at the YafaRay forums thread. This is […]
Earlier this week I posted a quick introductory guide on how to install and start to use Blender and Mitsuba to render images for architecture. The feedback on the guide was great, but some people are facing problems during the rendering. I could see this at my classroom with my students as well! The problem […]
The creation of photo real images for architecture is not the only way to present a project, and sometimes we must create the so-called NPR images. Those images are exactly the opposite to the realistic images created with advanced render engines. One of the best options to create NPR renderings in Blender is with the […]
One of the projects for this year Google Summer of Code was related to add or improve precision tools for modeling in Blender. And since precision tools are really important for architectural modeling, we should keep an eye on the progress of this project. It`s been a while since the Google Summer of Code 2012 […]
If you try to compare the features offered by Blender Cycles with older and more mature render engines like LuxRender, you will notice that Cycles is in fact a very young render engine, and still has a lot of development ahead. But, with some creativity we can work around some of those missing features to […]
This year I almost find the time and ill to attend to the 2012 Blender Conference, until I realize that if I made to Amsterdam, I would get really behind schedule on some projects. So, I will try again next year. But, if you couldn`t make to the conference like me, there are always the […]
One of the challenges we face every time in architectural visualization is that you have to find or create furniture models that fit the context of your project, in order to give it the correct sense of scale to your 3d model. And for office spaces you should use office furniture. This morning I just […]
