As the development of more IFC-based solutions for Blender advances, we might soon start to see engineers looking to Blender as a way to work on their projects. A quick example of that appeared on Bruno Postle Twitter account with a practical example of IfcStructuralAnalysisModel. It uses the incredible Homemaker Add-on. From Blender, you can […]

A great way to learn about architectural visualization produced with Blender is to see other artists' work and analyze their workflow. That is one of the reasons I often get in touch with those artists and ask them to write a profile for us. While I’m still working on more profiles, you have a unique […]

A significant amount of people think about Blender as a 3D modeler and platform to render realistic images to visualize your designs. It can help a lot in this regard, but that is only part of its role in architecture. With Add-pons like BlenderBIM, you can expand Blender and include authoring and document BIM data. […]

If you are serious about your visualization projects in Blender, I strongly recommend you to start investing in Add-ons that can give an edge in specific tasks. For instance, it is inevitable to need some vegetation models to populate a garden or landscape in exterior visualization projects. Can we create that with no Add-ons? Sure, […]

Earlier this week, we posted a project that shows the interior of a fast-food restaurant developed with Blender and rendered with Cycles. We love to find projects outside the comfort zone of many artists, which has strong ties to residential spaces. Today we want to feature another of those projects from the guys of polygoniq. […]

Here in Blender 3D Architect, we often try to find some of the greatest artworks produced with Blender that have a direct relation to architecture. Most of those projects are about residential spaces because that is where we find the highest demand for projects. However, an artist must be ready to start working on any […]

Besides the usual option to render projects in Blender with either Cycles or Eevee, we also have many artists using the incredible LuxCore with some impressive shading and render options. I just found an exciting project developed with Blender and rendered with LuxCore that might be useful for artists looking to try something else besides […]

Even with very few articles discussing the use of Python for architectural visualization in Blender, we still think it is an unavailable option to increase productivity and find shortcuts for tedious modeling tasks. Would you like to see a great example of modeling using Python? The user, called Coen from the OSArch forums, posted a […]

If you want to keep your workflow fully open-source, a great way of achieving that is to move the project development to FreeCAD. For artists with an extensive library of furniture, models may require a conversion to a parametric format. Do you want to download a furniture model to use with FreeCAD? As an offering […]

Having a wide range of options to include vegetation in an architectural visualization project is a must-have in any artist library. If you still didn’t invest in something like an Add-on to handle those types of elements, a collection of cutout textures can do the trick. With those textures, it is possible to use the […]

After a long time with no free download recommendations regarding furniture models, we found an asset that works with Blender! Getting those assets is an excellent way of growing your library of resources for future projects. Who is the author of this asset? The guys from Malaysia-based studio MIBS shared a furniture model that can […]

Besides using Blender to create architectural visualization, I often use the Unreal Engine to create real-time previews of those same designs. This allows an artist to offer a more advanced and interactive experience for each design. For that reason, I’m always looking to find assets that can help in such projects. If you want to […]

A gallery of projects showing architectural renders with Blender will most likely have many interior scenes showing residential spaces. That is the most common type of project in any artist portfolio. For that reason, I’m always hunting for variations of that subject. Suppose you want to look at a great example of artwork created with […]

Even with tools such as BlenderBIM that allow us to organize an entire project using BIM standards and export that as an IFC file, we could benefit a lot from a workflow that also includes FreeCAD. Since it has a native BIM workbench and can do many things that Blender still can’t, like easily generate […]
