Have you ever heard the word photogrammetry? For those unfamiliar with the procedure, Photogrammetry is a technique to create 3d assets based on photography. You will take several pictures from an object, and use a proper workflow and tools you will end up with a 3d object. In projects that require a fast and accurate […]
Last week you saw an article here at Blender 3D Architect about an incredible collection of textures in 5k resolution (5000 x 5000) from artist MiloÅ¡ Belanec. The collection had only a few textures at first. It seems the artist enjoyed the experience of producing and sharing textures because he did manage to create two […]
Having a good texture library for your projects is an important aspect of any workflow. Because having a good library, might avoid you to perform the tedious task of searching for textures during development. With a collection ready to use, you can quickly create and set materials. By the time you have an extensive library, […]
In computer graphics, everything has a tendency to be brand new, dust free and with no imperfections. That is one of the ways we often use to identify images coming from computers. If it doesn’t have any imperfections, it can’t be real. To create surfaces with the maximum realism, you have to add small imperfections […]
As part of the architectural visualization workflow, you will most likely have to create some landscapes at some point, and all your abilities with polygon modeling techniques may not be enough to get a landscape for your project. One of the most common techniques to create landscapes for architecture is the adoption of texture based […]
The resources for an architectural visualization artist using any software will be a sum of furniture models, textures and lighting skills or tools. Those resources among others will result in better renders and productivity. And sometimes we will find such resources at collections aimed at other 3d software and not specifically Blender. Have you ever […]
How do you add scale and context to your renders for architectural projects? One of the oldest tricks in the field is to add a cutout image of a person, which will match the scene. For instance, at a shopping mall scene you will find a picture of a lady caring some shopping bags, and […]
If you make a quick search on news and tutorials related to rendering and materials, you probably will notice that PBR (Physically based render) is a hot subject. Everyone seems to be talking about this kind of rendering because we can work with that on Cycles. What is exactly PBR? If you never heard of […]
