The big question a lot of artists are asking themselves nowadays is when to use Cycles or Eevee if you are already using Blender 2.8. When you start a project, you should have an idea of which render you want to use. For projects that require maximum realism, Cycle is still the best choice. Do […]
Even with all the news and benefits of using Eevee for architectural renders in Blender, you should still consider getting projects rendered with Cycles. The main reason is the incredible level of realism you can achieve. There is no doubt about what you can do with Eevee, but Cycles is still the best solution for […]
From all the new features of Blender 2.8, we can quickly point Eevee as the highlight for architectural visualization, because of the way it is changing the way we work with the software. Before Eevee, you had to plan for a long render at the end of each project. All of a sudden, rendering is […]
Ever since Cycles appeared in Blender 2.6 a significant amount of people, abandoned external render engines related to Blender. The convenience of having a powerful renderer bundled with Blender was hard to beat. But, it doesn’t mean you won’t have good reasons to look elsewhere. Back in the day, we had only a few choices […]
An architectural visualization project in Blender usually results in a couple of renders from interiors and external views. Sometimes you might get a big project that will require more a few additional renders. Typically, artists will produce on average about five renders for a project. That was not the case with one of the latest […]
A great way to develop our skills in interior rendering with Cycles is with personal projects. If you are looking to get a job in a studio, having several personal projects in a portfolio is a great plus. The reason for that is because people will have the impression that you like to test your […]
The settings used to light a scene for interiors in Cycles will most likely feature an HDRI map as environment texture. That map will help you both compose a background and add light energy to the scene. But, a few artists are choosing a bright white light as background to light their scenes with some […]
Each artist working with Blender to create architectural visualization will find, along time, a unique way to set up their scenes. They have special tricks and workflows that allow them to keep a regular level of productivity and quality. Today we want to share two projects that demonstrate how two artists that often appear here […]
