Since we started publishing articles and news related to Blender and architectural visualization in 2008, we saw it shift from a pure visualization tool for marketing purposes to a tool that can help us with the design. You can either use Blender to create technical drawings with a combination of FreeStyle and Inkscape to develop […]
What steps do you usually take to share a 3D model of a project with a client? If you develop your designs in 3D, it would be great to share that data with anyone involved. A 3D model is a powerful way to demonstrate ideas and collect feedback to improve the project further. However, it […]
How do you share a project with a potential customer? The most common way of displaying your designs is with a render or screenshot. You can generate an image and share the results with an e-mail or use an instant message app. Having an image to display the design is excellent because it is a […]
How do you organize your modeling projects for architecture? A way of doing that in Blender is using collections to segment and assign meaning to 3D objects. With a complex design, it is critical to have such a level of organization. If you want to go further with that type of optimization, you should look […]
An exciting project that we keep a close eye on here in Blender 3D Architect is the incredible IFC.js that enable us to upload and show architectural designs as IFC files on the web. It converts 3D data to JavaScript and gives you interactive control over the model. The developer of this project (Antonio González […]
One of the dreams of many professionals working in the architectural visualization business is the possibility of having a full web-based workflow. Unlike many professionals that can easily have all their tools in the cloud, we still need powerful workstations to create 3D models and render. Some projects are trying to send tools and resources […]
