Just like I usually comment here on Blender 3D Architect, I still caught myself trying to plan a scene to render with YafaRay. After a long period of time using a renderer like YafaRay, it may become difficult let go some of those old habits. It’s been quite a while since I had to use […]
Another nice example of how YafaRay artists can produce quality architectural visualization with Blender, even without stable releases for the Blender 2.6x series. To use YafaRay with Blender today, you must download a custom build from graphicall.org, which is the easy way to get YafaRay working with Blender. An artist called stoneage posted at the […]
One of the first external renderers to work with Blender was the old YafRay, which in my case was one of the reasons for me to start modeling architecture in Blender, to render my projects with YafRay. The next generation of YafRay is called YafaRay and today it is still among the external renders that […]
Here I am back with another great article related to the use of Blender as a tool for architectural visualization. Today I will post an interview with a really talented artist from the YafaRay user forums. His nickname there is sc20 and he posts some really nice architectural renders made with Blender from time to […]
Here is another study comparing the results of a render made with Blender Internal, Blender Cycles and YafaRay using an architectural scene as a basis. A few years ago there were very little options to choose in terms of external render engines for Blender, and today we can`t complaint about having options. You can choose […]
To render a scene modeled in Blender using advanced algorithms in the past like Path Tracing, would demand the installation of an external render engine. Today we have Cycles integrated as one of the render engines available by default with every version of Blender. But, it doesn`t mean that we should place all external render […]
Even with the entire buzz around Blender Cycles these days, there are still a lot of artists working with architectural visualization in Blender and rendering their scenes with either YafaRay or LuxRender. You may remmenber suomi from the YafaRay user forums, which is a very talented artist that uses Blender to create architectural renderings. He […]
Even with the release of Blender 2.6 and the option to use a stable version of Cycles, we still find lots of artists using external render engines in Blender. There are a few features that must be incorporated in Cycles, before we can totally abandon external render engines for architectural visualization. One of the oldest […]
