If you want to produce images that have maximum realism for architecture, you will have to use Cycles instead of Eevee.

Using the Irradiance Volume and Cubemaps.

Setting elements of the render like sampling.

We cover aspects from materials to environment setup: One of the highlights of Blender 2.8 is Eevee, and the real-time rendering options, which you will learn how to use in this section. That will help with the indirect lights and settings for the

Prepare furniture models for reuse in Blenderīefore you start working with anything related to rendering in a project, you must apply materials and textures to surfaces.

Editing external libraries assets with furniture.

What would be of an architectural visualization project without furniture models and assets? Do you want to learn how to handle and manage those assets in Blender? You will learn in this section:

Create 3D models based on image references.

Prepare a technical drawing reference for modeling.

Convert DWG and DXF files to use in Blender.

In this section you learn how to handle and process those files for Blender: Have you ever received a design in a CAD file that you needed to import to Blender? It is not a straightforward experience to import the data.

Create doors and windows for architectural models.

Use repeating patterns to create large surfaces.

Manage and edit architectural models by cutting and separating them.

You will find in Blender a lot of tools that can help with architectural design and modeling, like the modifier system and also incredible Add-ons to quickly create 3D geometry.

Editing 3D models to stretch and change their forms.

Use the Spin tool to create round shapes.

Make use of local coordinates for modeling.Add units to any numeric input for modeling.Choose between Metric and Imperial units.In this section you find information about: Working with architectural designs requires you to get a high level of precision for 3D modeling.
