The field of architectural visualization has many opportunities for 3D artists, which includes working directly in real state marketing and conservation and historic buildings. If you had a formal college education in architecture or design, it is almost certain that you had classes related to architectural history. During a period in the past, one of […]
As you probably notice from the multiple articles and projects posted here in Blender 3D Architect, I love the speed and optimization of E-Cycles. It is an impressive upgrade to anyone working with Cycles as a tool to make architectural visualizations. It is an optimized version of Cycles with a focus on speed, and it […]
As you probably can tell from the numerous projects we feature and articles, we are big fans of E-Cycles as a renderer for architecture. Because it offers the convenience of working as if it was regular Cycles, but with lots of tweaks with a focus on render speed, usually you can see render speed gains […]
The most common type of project in architectural visualization is, by far, a residential space. A quick search for architectural interiors returns hundreds of examples of those projects. For that reason, it is always interesting when an artist shows a different type of building as the subject for visualization. Here is an excellent artwork from […]
The creation of still images for architectural interiors evolved a lot across the years, and we moved from projects requiring long hours to render to a couple of minutes or seconds with average to suitable hardware. In the end, you should always try to work with optimized hardware and software for your projects to get […]
A great way of improving your interior rendering skills is observing what other artists do and figure out what could apply to one of your projects. If you had the source file from those projects, it would be even easier to study and reuse some of those settings. Do you want to download a full […]
A render engine that often appears here in Blender 3D Architect as the main option to produce architectural images is E-Cycles, which is an optimized version of the default Cycles for Blender. It makes under the hood changes to Cycles and makes it work a lot faster. Lately, the developer of E-Cycles added a lot […]
If you are working on a project featuring a swimming pool or any other large water surface, you will probably try to get a realistic material to render water. An artist called Johannes Wide shared an advanced water shader with caustics that is perfect for such projects on his Twitter account. He is using E-Cycles […]
