Today I want to share a small trick: I use it to show blend file previews in Windows Explorer. ATTENTION! I used this trick on Windows 10 pro x64 italian (some descriptions could be slightly different) with a portable version of Blender (this means it doesn’t need installation, just unzip its folder somewhere in your hard drive), particularly this […]
Blender is a multi-platform open source 3d creation software; it supports the entire creative process: from modeling, rigging, animation, physics simulations, rendering, post production, motion tracking, video editing and even game creation (source: blender.org). At the beginning, it was developed as an internal application by the Dutch animation studio NeoGeo. In the 1998 the main […]
I prepared this scene some months ago for a “product visualization” (here absent). I decided to work again on it bringing some changes; the use of the well known “filmic” color management is the most important one.

Do you remember one of my last rendering called “Minimalist interior scene“? I’m glad to tell you that… it’s on the “Top Poliigon renders from November 2016”!! You can see the complete gallery clicking here or you can see the screenshot below. Thanks to Andrew Price for sharing my work.)
Last week I told you about a website very useful for people that deal with 3d graphics: Dimensiva.com (you find my article here). Today I’m gonna tell you about a similar website. “Lucrea3D“, this is its name, makes tons of high quality free 3d models (both for personal and commercial purpose, again!) available. There is a […]
Today I want to talk about Armory, a Blender’s real time render engine under development. Lubos Lenco, Armory‘s developer, explains that its creation goal is to bring real time rendering to 3d artists in a way fully integrated into Blender; that means that it will no longer be necessary to jump from an application to another to create the final […]
Today we present the 3D modeling and rendering of a detached house. Virtual representations such as these allow your clients to live the visual experience of projects otherwise expressed with a technical language not suitable for non-experts; they also stimulate an emotional response in the viewer.

Some weeks ago, while searching on the web, I found an interesting website for people that deal with 3d graphics. “Dimensiva“, this is its name, makes tons of high quality free 3d models (both for personal and commercial purpose!) available. But there is a problem for people that use Blender as I do: assets are […]
After creating a group of scenes dedicated to nature and “PBR materials” studies, I’m presenting a new scene dedicated to architecture: this scene represents an hotel room consisting of an entrance, a bedroom and a bathroom. I started creating this scene several months ago, then I abandoned it to work on other projects. A month […]
The scene I’m presenting today is inspired by an installation I saw some days ago on Fubiz.net. It’s titled “Skirting Board Sunset” and it was created by dutch designer Helmut Smits: this object, made of Perspex (an acrylic material) and with a LED lamp inside, remember the sunset; its reflections on the floor remember sun […]
