What is required to learn and develop even more your modeling skills? One of the things that I always say in my modeling classes is that we have to balance the technical side of 3d modeling with the artistic side. Even with the advice to balance the focus of the modeling, my students often leave […]
One of the things that makes most users not migrate to Blender 3D is the fact that they don’t know for sure, if they will find the tools required to create the same 3d models created in softwares like 3ds Max. I see that all the time when I show Blender 3d to someone used […]
A few weeks ago I was talking about ways to correct the topology of a 3d model, without destroy any faces, vertices or edges of the model. The inspiration to write the article was a pot at the CG Society forums, where an artist was in trouble with a messed topology, and at that time […]
One of the most interesting things about 3d modeling is that, there isn’t a right or defined rule to create a model or organize the topology, sometimes the same object can be created with several different solutions. I see that all the time when I teach a class about 3d modeling, with the students finding […]
At some point in the modeling process we have to use a mix of features of Blender, to get the shape we need in our modeling projects. If you don’t know the right set of tools, objects like a curved curtain wall can turn into a real modeling nightmare. This is a type of object […]
I’m working right now in the production of an online training about the integration between Blender 3D and Indigo Renderer, which will deal with the full modeling, texturing and rendering for a small but interesting scene in Blender. Just to illustrate a bit how part of the training will be handled, I’ve created a timelapse […]
In some CAD software’s and 3d packages as well, there is a tool called offset that can create parallel copies of faces and edges. If you create architectural models using Blender 3D and have used some of those tools, you probably miss this type of feature. Even not being available as a default tool or […]
Today I will start a series of articles, dealing with the modeling of a few elements and parts of a build, which may require more than just hard work to build. The selected parts have a great importance over the full modeling of a project like roofs, stairs and balconies. To help other artists working […]
