Even with incredible options to render scenes with Cycles and Eevee, you will still find room in Blender to support external render engines. Some artists prefer to render certain projects in engines such as Octane, V-Ray, and also Corona Render. Among architectural visualization artists, you will see that Corona Render is very popular. It does […]
Over the years, you will find that Blender evolved from a single renderer solution in the past to a platform that allows you to choose between two powerful renderers today and also third-party options. If you think Cycles or Eevee can’t handle the needs of a project, you can always try external options such as […]
The vast majority of architectural visualization projects we see here in Blender 3D Architect will feature either Cycles or Eevee most of the time. Some people might not be aware that we have several other options to render scenes in Blender, using commercial software. You will find projects using Octane Render, V-Ray, and also Corona […]
When you find a resource online for an external renderer like Corona Render, which most of the time will have 3ds Max as the main reference you will probably wonder if you can use that with Blender. For most cases, it will not work if you get a native file like “MAX” or “MAT”. But, […]
When you have to start working with a tool like Blender to produce architectural visualization you will immediately start wondering about the renderer. You will find two built-in options in Blender and also have several other external renders. How to pick the best option? Should you go with Cycles? Eevee? A great way to decide […]
Despite having a great selection of open source renderers available for artists using Blender, you can also get a reasonably vast selection of commercial tools. You can pick renderers like Corona, V-Ray and more with native support for Blender. That might not be of interest for artists using either Cycles or Eevee, but might be […]
When you find a free furniture library with lots of options for models and assets, you immediately begin to ask yourself if that is compatible with Blender. A significant amount of those files, from free libraries, comes in MAX format. You can convert them without 3ds Max. But, it is not always possible. That is […]
Artists migrating from other software to Blender will eventually try to keep the same workflow, reducing any potential loss of productivity. The renderer they use is a big part of the workflow, and Blender has lots of options for commercial renders nowadays. Among those options, you will find Corona Render, which can produce impressive images […]
