Blender 2.62 Dynamic Paint with Particles Tutorial. Furniture prototype. Hello everybody, I haven't been posting for quite a long time so here's a small project I'd like to share with you. It's a visualization job I did some time ago to our friends who run a small design studio (www.azedesign.pl) - pictures show sofas which would be in production this year. The images sent for print had obviously much more "commercial" feel, but I've decided trying to achieve more interesting look. These are the results: The scene was modeled using Blender and rendered in Cycles using GPU. Post production was partially done in Blender nodes (adding AO and enhancing shadows) but mostly in Photoshop. Hope you like it, cheers! Tutorials. BlenderDiplom Tutorials. Precision work in Blender :: Blender Mama. Without pretending to be a cad drafting tool, Blender has more precision functions than people usually believe.

Everything can be built with the greatest accuracy. I really value this and it was a decisive point when switching to Blender as my full time modelling and visualising tool. I used to model in cad software so I had high standards and for some time did feel rather frustrated with the differences and difficulties. One challenge was the lack of specific documentation: I couldn’t find all info I needed in one place… or any place… and I believe that is still the case today, even though more professionals, many architects among them, are starting to use Blender and more information is to be found on the net.

Topics: Using units The first important step for precision work in architectural modeling is noticing the Units. To bring reference to scale in a Blender file, check this posts: importing dxf drawings, importing cad plans as images 3d axis Wiki on axis constraints Manipulators Align. Daniel Kreuter. Blender Network - exedesign. Blender UV and Generated mapping in architectural visualisation :: Blender Mama. Mapping a texture on an object means arranging the way a texture assigned to the object covers it, its scale and orientation. For me it’s like pasting wallpaper to something, or gift wrapping, only 3d has a few more options like scaling and repeating and, of course, “undo” There are two main methods of mapping textures in Blender: UV mapping, using the UV editor module, and Generated mapping, that just repeats the map on the object in 3d orthogonal space.

I noticed there is a tendency to consider the more complicated UV mapping the “better way” and the “generated” mapping an obsolete method for those who don’t know how to UV map. Actually, this is a wrong point of view. The two methods are different and serve different purposes, and in architectural visualisation both are needed. Instead, in architectural visualisation you often have to use tiled textures and uniform areas of materials, as archviz usually depicts new and clean buildings covered in modular panels or bricks or stuff.

Even though we’re creating digital renders in a 3d world, we need to keep in mind that we are still imitating a real world camera lens. Cameras and human eyes have something called ‘Depth of Field‘ (or ‘DoF’), which makes objects in the background and foreground appear blurry. When used correctly in your artwork, it can draw the attention to the subject and make the scene more aesthetically pleasing. When used wrong, it can seem like another overused tiresome effect. Learn the difference and how to use it effectively.

To play along at home, download this light bulb scene. The final .blend will be provided at the end of the tutorial. Let’s get cracking! Step 1 Open the file and select the camera and press the ‘Show Limits’ button in the edit panel. This is the point that blender will focus on. However because this is only a still we can use the first method. Step 2 So by clicking the next arrow, make the yellow cross hair sit in line with the exploding light bulb. Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Step 6 Step 7. Create a High Rise Building – Part 1 of 2. In this tutorial you will learn how to: Use multiple arrays and mirrors effectively to cut down on your modelling timeCreate complex designs using basic shapes and loop cutsFollow a reference image to create a replica Greetings Blender heads! Welcome to Week 1 of the Architecture tutorial special.

To kick things off I thought we’d jump straight in the deep end and learn how to create one of the most complex models there is, a high rise apartment block. Because apartment blocks have multiple floors it’s easy to assume that it requires multiple amounts of work. However that really isn’t the case. In this tutorial I will show you how to use arrays and mirrors in a way that will considerably cut down your modelling times.

This 22-minute video tutorial will teach you how to: Control particle strandsSave on render times by using child particlesEvenly distribute flowers across a planeEffectively use the colorband featureMake a field of uniform strands appear ‘lumpy’ The sky texture I will be using in this tutorial is from CG-Textures.com and can be obtained from here. Screenshots from the video: NOTE: This tutorial was created for Blender 2.49.

It may not be compatible with later versions of Blender. Bonus Tip: How to Animate the Grass! Add a new texture to your grass plane. Switch to the Shading panel (F5) and make sure the Wind texture is turned off. The reason for this is because the plane is not actually what will create the wind. Add an empty at one end of your grass plane and insert a keyframe by pressing i and selecting Loc Change the frame number to 200 and move the empty to the other end of your plane. If you hit Alt+A, the empty should move to other side of your plane. Create a Spaceship Corridor – Part 1 of 2. How to make Puddles. Leipzig. Free Tutorials : CG Masters. Most downloaded models.
