Architectural Design with Blender
A course by Aureus Studio, Architect
Learn to use lighting, color, and material properties to design and visualize architectural spaces in Blender
Shape your vision into extraordinary architectural scenes, mastering lighting, color, and texture alongside Mauricio, better known in the world of architecture as Auro. He is the founder of Aureus Studio and, in this online course, he teaches you how to model an architectural object using a section cut and a schematic plan.
Throughout the course, your teacher shows you the basic features of Blender and how modifiers can make designing easier. He then guides you through modeling an architectural ensemble, working on aspects such as lighting and color, before teaching you various composition techniques to help you create several different views of the ensemble.
