I got a lot of messages and questions about how to use open source tools to work with architectural visualization or even technical drawing on Linux. Besides the questions about Blender that I got in my classes and presentations, the most often question is about an open source alternative for AutoCAD. People always ask that […]
In just a few days I will start a new research project involving the development of a few tools and scripts for Blender, aimed in architectural modeling. I know that some of those tools may already exist, but the focus of the project is to find the best way to manage procedural modeling in Blender. […]
One of the primary tasks of an architectural visualization artist is to create a 3d model of an architectural project, in order to add lights and textures to create a realistic visualization of the building. Besides the main architectural project, we sometimes have to work on secondary 3d models or builds to compose the environment […]
