As an effort to give examples of real projects that use Blender, we have a rich list of downloadable files available from the Foundation website. There you can grab the latest version of Blender and also some great examples with full access to settings and assets. That way, it is possible to open and study each project to see how they work.
There are many interesting options related to architecture like:
- Barcelona Pavillon
- Lone Monk
- Classroom
Besides those files, we also have a new addition to the list! From architect and artist Flavio Della Tommasa, you can download a scene called “Italian Flat”. Look for the file in the Cycles section.
From the file, you can look at settings and even append some of the assets in other projects as long as you give credit to the author. Notice that this file uses a CC-BY license, and you must mention the author in any derivate work.
If you were looking to learn Blender for interior render, it is a great opportunity to start from a high-quality example.
Using Blender for architecture
Do you want to use Blender for architecture or render your projects using Cycles or Eevee? We have three books available that could help you!
They cover the use of Blender for producing architectural content and also all information you need to render projects in real-time:
- Blender 2.9 for architecture: Modeling and rendering with Eevee and Cycles
- Blender 2.8 parametric modeling: Drivers, Custom Properties, and Shape Keys for 3D modeling
- Blender 3.0: The beginner's guide
- Blender 2.8 for technical drawing
- Blender Eevee: The guide to real-time rendering with Blender 2.8
You can get them in both digital and paperback formats. By ordering those books, you will not only improve your skills with Blender for architecture but also support Blender 3D Architect.
