Oak Pass House: Blender and Octane Render for architecture
In a couple of years working with architectural visualization, you will probably collect a few projects over time. We do have some projects here at the office that goes all the way back to 2006, which used Blender 2.41 for modeling and the YafRay render engine. Taking old projects and trying to render them again using today’s technology is a great way to develop your skills.
Do you want to see an example of a project that received a new render from digital artist Jan Morek? The artist took an old project and render it again using his current setup, which is Blender and Octane for rendering.
The project name is Oak Pass House. As a result, you will a collection of stunning renders:
