Great tips! I like the tip to copy an archviz firms results for practice.

For faster PBR Shader setup, use node Wrangler short cut shift Ctrl t

Sound level is very low bro, pls fix it.

Coming back to blender after years. Lots to learn. Counting on you for more detailed interior design tuts like these. Well done. Subbed!

Love it bro keep creating

Thank you and keep making such type of videos i subscribe to you❤

hi everyone. can i propose to companies who currently looking for an employee with a specific software but i only can use blender? or there is no other way? that i need to learn their tools?

I'll add my 2 cents to one of Oliver's points about timeframe: I'm a home designer/archviz artist. When a customer calls to get house plans, the FIRST question I ask is "when are you looking to build?". We get so many calls from people that wait until it's too late to properly take time to do a good job on the project. So if they have an unreasonable time frame, get this information right away and don't waste a 30 minute conversation of listening to them tell you all about their big plans when you aren't going to be able to help them anyway. And DO NOT DO NOT let them talk you into "squeezing it in". This will lead to bad results, stress, and poor customer satisfaction which leads to bad reviews and no referrals to other customers, which is very important. That was a mouthful sorry lol.

Your videos are like manna from heaven, I really want to become a specialist in architectural visualization using Blender and prove that 3ds Max is no longer a monopoly in this field

Thank you very much. 👏👏

Alright here we goooo!

Ive done multiple Blender tutorials that took 2 hours each. The things that ive learned in you first 2 videos only is the same if not more than all those tutorials combined. That floor generator plugin is amazing as well. Thank you!!

Thanks! Great review! 3dmax has an indie version that costs 200 a year (depending on your region).

Im learning a lot from your course. Thank you for making the video.

Looking great 👍 Do you mind sharing your workflow on exterior animation please?

Did you say deck?

here I am learning vray and having my eyes on max-corona and blender. I hope to find a comfortable software to commit to once I've tried them all. Great content btw!

nice work! where do you get assets from? and what extensions would you suggest installing?

How did you make the trees? Do a tutorial on how to make plants.

Just in case, Corona is a bidirectional path tracer where Cycles is unidirectional. That's one of the reasons why people might like Corona over Cycles for interior shots, but there's an unofficial addon for blender to use corona renderer if you are interested, vray is also developing a version for Blender.

I've been loving this channel - great to hear your thought process in videos like this in addition to the more standard tutorial format videos. Also really valuable to have a practicing architect's take on the visualisation workflow.

Hello Oliver, hope your doing well. just wanted to let you know how much your helping me iv learned a lot from you sir thank you so much. Keep up the good work brother.

Love the zen music. What speed are you playing the footage? I would be cool to learn how to setup a bones mechanism for those screens so you can just set the hinge point and slide them open dynamically from the camera view to easily tweak the look. I have that on my back burner for things to learn! Nice video, the format is cool. Good points on workflow and to now worry if you need to explore ideas or need to try different things and make mistakes. Thanks for sharing with us!

Thanks for sharing this.

I really wish, that Blender will have much more bigger part of archiviz in next few years!

Of course 3dsmax, because huge base handreds of thousands 3dsMax pre-built, just one click to use

For anyone here, Is there a way to get a live link between archicad/ revit and blender? Max has a great advantage for me at least where I can link the revit file, add materials, modifiers to it, and then in the revit I have any modification it is a one click to relink the file, and the materials previously assigned are kept. Is there a way to do that in Blender? I've been trying for so long to find it...

Answer = 3dsMax. Next question.

My favorite is using blender and unreal engine since now it has mega light for awesome lighting and my computer won’t bog it down

I'm a big fan of Blender, and I've been using it for my Archviz work for two years. However, problems arise when trying to collaborate with other Archviz studios. Here in my country, most Archviz artists use 3ds Max with Corona or V-Ray. Since some of them are often overloaded, they frequently collaborate with other studios to handle the extra work. The workflow goes smoothly if you're on the same page, but not when using different software

blender 4.3 coming with white balance feature in color management. which is really good for archviz final render. my render come close with the one rendered by corona now

Great video. A quit point to note that you can do large scale archviz projects in blender. Bonsai BIM helps.

Blender!

Strange... I always hearing about Max better handling large complex scenes, but honestly I can't say that. I requires very careful scene management to be stable and predictable. Recently I've done a relatively large project architecture in Blender and I was pleasantly surprised how well it handled this task. The main problem with Blender in archviz IMO is relatively small amount of asset libraries, compared to Max, and scattering tools - G Scatter is good, but it's still far cry from Forest Pack sadly. And yes - people in the industry are very conservative, and people are lazy in general - I've been using Blender in my daily work for almost 4 years now, and I've been promoting it among my colleagues in the studio, yet I still the only one who uses it.

This vid couldn't come at a better time for me. I'm about to recreate a residential CGI of just a single property as I want to convince the developer to use me instead of the architect that created it. He used Sketchup and Ray and it doesn't look amazing. I know I can use Blender and Octane to create something amazing. My only concern is things like vegetation packs, will they work with Octane and how much material conversion will I have to do for shaders etc. But I see all the time this whole 'you have to use Max and Corona' argument. Yes sure if you want a job for a big architectural firm because that's what they'll be using but not as a freelancer.

Good video! From a purely professional perspective, if you want to get hired within the high-end viz industry, both for architecture and automotive as well as pro product vizualisation, Max and Maya is still the way to go. The big hitters rely heavily on Vray and Corona for a reason. They are dependable and very easy to use even on massive projects. Spline-based modelling in Max is also very agile and neccessary when doing complex topology for like cars. It takes a while to learn, but once you're there.... I can't imagine not having the ability to create a spline cage for instance. Bulding rims without splines...no thanks. Max never crashes, at least in my experience, unless it's bogged down with plugins. Rendering with Corona is such a breeze, basically nothing need tweaking. Create a good material setup, add lights and it makes magic. Blender is HUGE within the gaming industry for good reasons. They create assets, they don't render for compositing. Max can get pretty expensive with plugs and, say Corona and Fstorm, but it is super-robust. I don't know any big studio in EU that is relying on Blender for Arch-viz, like Brick or Mir. So if you want to get hired that is still the way to go. Just my 50 cent after 20 years in the industry.

Just recently I decided to make the jump from blender to 3ds max to see what all the fuzz is about. To anyone out there thinking to do the same: using max and vray won't make your renders magically better. It's the artist, not the tool! Now that I've tried max I can tell for sure. Also, blender CAN handle big scenes, you just have to be careful and work in a certain way. One last thing: using max/vray or corona won't make you better, but it will make you more employable (although that might change in the future, as more and more archviz artists are moving to blender). Sorry, one more last thing: if you have a hard time with blender's cycles render engine, try octane, I feel it's a good middle ground between cycles and corona or vray.

Hi Oliver Nice video, I think all kind of project you can do on Blender, I did a talk about architectural visualization pipelines on the blender conference 3 weeks ago! th-cam.com/video/9V3fKI2janE/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared

My workflow ‌( Zbrush + Max + Houdini ) they are all cracked version 😂

Blender with the right set of addons totally blows Max away. But I’m from the games development industry. So most heavy scenes are handled in engine. Hot keys are not much of an issue since you can customise blender with even custom made menus to fit your style

Max with the right set of addons totally blows Max away. But I’m from the games development industry. So most heavy scenes are handled in engine

Blender with HardOps and Box Cutter beats 3ds Max, and if you want to improve the UV mapping process in Blender, use the Zen UV addon, and you'll have the best suite for hard surface modeling ever.

Great work boss.

Blender because it's free. End of conversation😂

Oliver said community like 10 times.. but it’s true, aside from being an excellent software the community is what really sets it apart for me 👌

Blender top

That was one of the main things for me. I got fed up paying licensing fees for Max and Corona. So I switched to Blender and using the money to pay for good training courses. It's much easier to learn that way and the community is great with Blender.

V-Ray 7 is coming to Blender. It will change alot of things. Why V-Ray instead of Cycles?: Frame Buffer (Post-prod, Lightmix, History), Cosmos... Imagine Blender with V-Ray, powerful splines, an Edit Poly modifier, a UV Map Modifier...
