From all features added to Blender in the past few months, I believe that no other feature had the impact of Cycles. Just to be able to render my projects with advanced shaders, global illumination and more is something that most Blender users dreamed about for years. Besides all that we also can use or […]
There are several ways to improve your skills on architectural visualization, but practice is one of the most important aspects of fine-tuning your technique. If you don`t have any projects designed by yourself to practice, you can always find some classic buildings with tons of information available on the web to exercise. A couple of […]
For those of you trying to learn Blender Cycles and render interior scenes for architecture with Blender, I just found an interesting project posted at the Blenderartists forums that might help. An artist called AniMeAniBe posted at the forums some interesting renders with the visualization of a modern bedroom. All the modeling was done in […]
The sun position is really important for architecture, and all projects should take in consideration how it interacts with the sunlight along the seasons to balance temperature variations. And since this is quite important, sometimes a visualization project may require the production of an animation showing how the sunlight interacts with the project. How 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 […]
The creation of a panorama image can be sometimes a much better alternative to video or interactive visualizations made with the game engine. With the panorama all you got is a simple image that is rendered to give the viewer some level of control. Of course, in this type of image the viewer can`t walk […]
Here is some great news for anyone using Blender Cycles to render architectural visualization! A new Addon posted at the Blenderartists forums allow us to use IES profiles with Cycles. Yes, with this new Addon you can use photometric lights to render your scenes in Cycles. For those of you that doesn’t know what an […]
What would be of a series of articles related to architecture and Blender without something about Cycles? And today on the Best of Blender 3D Architect series I will bring back two articles about rendering with Cycles. The first one shows how to render 3d models with a special wire object, which will give you […]
