A new version of Blender was released last week, and even with lots of new features to play with, you will be impressed to know that more features are coming. A developer called BroadStu is working in a patch for strand rendering in Cycles. This means that we will be able to render hair, fur […]
The use of mesh-based light in Blender Cycles is one of the most important elements to setup a good light for architecture. But, there is a small inconvenience with those types of lights. They are big planes or objects that emit light, which will result on them showing up on the rendering. If you don`t […]
For those of you that didn`t had anything planned for the weekend, I just found out a really incredible tutorial that will keep you busy for at least one hour! The guys from Blenderpedia posted a tutorial a few days ago showing how to model and render an interior using Blender Cycles. Even if you […]
Besides furniture models made by famous designers, you should also try to collect small objects to be used on scenes like a kitchen render. On those types of scenes you will find yourself working really hard to find or create all kinds of small objects to place over tables and other surfaces. And this spice […]
It is never enough to collect as much furniture models as you can to speed up the modeling of a scene in architecture. And this time you can download a small collection of 3d models created by an artist called skororu. Those models are all available on a creative commons license, and are not hosted […]
There are a lot of examples and projects about Blender and Cycles for architecture related to interior visualization. But, only a few of them deal with natural light sources like the sun. A few days ago one of my students ask me about the setup for a daylight scene in Cycles. He said that there […]
When you start an architectural visualization project modeled with Blender these days, which renderer do you try to use? A lot of people is starting to move all their projects to Cycles, and it is not just because it is already there, you don`t have to install any extra software or exporter. The renderer is […]
Here is another nice example of the use of Blender as a tool for architectural visualization. Last week an architect from Italy called Arcangelo D’Alessandro contact me to show his latest project rendered with Blender. Arcangelo uses Blender for his projects since 2004, and this time he tried to test the possibilities of Blender Cycles […]
