You had me at 4 minutes into the video. You are the real deal. If you are half as good as you are sincere, I'm going to learn a lot. I want to merge lighting fixture design and its effect on interior environments into my passion for all things Blender. Looking forward to this journey.
I am so glad I found your tutorials, I am a Blender newbie with a background in Sketchup and need the nitty gritty and get to the point. Thank you very much for giving out this course!
You read my mind with that intro, everything you said is on point, EVERYTHING. So I'm hoping in and will see what I can do, hopefully it will be what makes or brakes me in the blender universe cause I do feel like I've covered a lot of ground without really getting/retaining anything deep about any subject. I like your approach and your style, thank you very much for this full course, hopefully I'll get somewhere with this and be happy to thank you with more than words in the future ;)
I spent twenty years consulting, selling, and teaching high end CAD/CAM systems and have to give you a tip-of-the-hat for your teaching methods, very similar to my own. Your focus on the tools actually in Blender and not using third party add-ons as a crutch is crucial to mastering the software. Larger add-ons are disasters looking for a place to land, usually on an important project. Nice pace, good technique and good habits, you have an excellent style.
Thank you for your comment! I'm so glad to see someone who actually works in the field and understands the hindrances of the arch-viz industry. People so often focus on the quality and render times not knowing that the beautiful and shiny renderings are maybe 10-15% of what's created in arch-viz every day (and they're rarely what brings you the actual money). If you do it long enough all you want is to have a predictable working process. And that only comes with the most vanilla software version you can get so, no matter in what project stage you are in, everyone can jump in and continue the work.
@@Chocofur In Andrew Price's newsletter this week he gave a link to a project on Behance by Mykola Mondich called "Hampton Villa" that is just jaw dropping, indistinguishable from professional photography, and the very best photography at that. I'm sure just a sample of the work you mention being created every day.
@@path11media88 I saw the project, it looks nice. We also work with artists capable of delivering similar quality. From my experience, these images are not the ones bringing the most money to the business, considering the time it takes to deliver them. But they look impressive that's for sure.
THIS IS ALL THE ANSWER, I TRY DONUT, I TRY SWORDS BLABLABLABLA,, im an archviz worker and freelancers, MAX makes me broke! so i want to change into blender, but i didn't find ARCHVIZ workflow tutorial until i got you bro!!! you are awesome,, thank you
You're the best Blender Archviz artist I've seen on youtube to date. And I've seen a LOT of them here on TH-cam. Thanks for all you do, I'm excited to learn from you!
finally i found out the man who have no any greed for selling this course... Sir bunch of thanks accept from my side cause i am lucky that i have this course... really thank you sir from deep my heart
Thank you for sharing this course. I’ve been searching for a reliable way to train these skills in Blender. I’m very interested in being able to create interior designs. Thank you again!
I cant believe that I found exactly what I was looking for. I have nothing to say except that you are doing amazing work! Feels like a tv series I cant wait to watch. (Got here from Derek)
I'm super excited for this course. I've been getting into doing Blender lately for animation, but I'm also getting into modeling and materials as well.
as a blender hobbiest i love to make mistakes and learn from them. But it's also great to learn from the tutorials. My lighting skill definitely needs more experience, I'm looking forward to the videos. thanks
I only just stumbled upon this today as I recently re-started my Blender journey after much distractions due to my graphics/web design and photography roles at companies plus some freelancing on the side, but now find myself out of work since October due to company layoffs, and Im considering my direction again. I had been revisiting some Blender techniques for hard surfaces modelling I have indeed forgotten many approaches and techniques and having to re-learn again but hopping between different educators is an inconsistent and drawn out approach. Your course could form the focus and direction I need right now as most of my 3D work has been hobbyist around product design and concept art. If I can take this course now and complete this in a week and come out the other side at an elevated level this could be my next direction. I use EEVEE nearly all the time as I prefer the speed of working and rendering without burdoning myself too much with hyper realistic looks but I see this course is Cycles and so I feel this is the right moment to take that on if Im to produce brochure quality output in what could be my new career direction. Thank you so much for providing this focused and specialist course - I will let you know how I get on ! Kind regards from London UK
@@Chocofur I am still following this course sir 🙏 reached part 15 , i had to manage some things like the drawing i screenshot from the video and the image i couldn't find it in the descriptions, therefore i had to skip that part and manually estimate the placements, which kind of misses out on the most important part but i am excited to complete the full course. Kudos from Bhutan 🇧🇹
I am archiviz artist, i actually use sketchup+vray but i considere to switch for 3ds+corona because it's look the best choice for a good rapport quality/time/workflow. But blender is more and more tempting too
Hi , this is a smart move to get people to your site and subscribe 👏 Personally, I thank you because I am French with a disability and I will take your pro subscription (I had decided to take it before watching this video on the architecture course) and the fact of having this course on youtube with the subtitles in French will be a + , although speaking to you calmly and clearly, I will have an even more solid foundation for this first lesson and I will be able to follow you more easily for the rest, thank you very much 👍 Thereafter, you would not need a new remote collaborator? 😂😉 have a nice day Sebastien .
This is... Well probably a really novice question. I'm a few weeks into blender, but will this course help with creating something that can be viewed from the exterior? I feel stupid asking this because my vocabulary for 3D is limited but. I'd like to do completed houses for my work
Hey Patrick, thanks for your comment and no problem asking! As for now this course will teach you mainly how to create the interiors. I plan releasing the exteriors course in the future!
This course will be really interesting for me to see because I'm not too familiar with Blender's archviz capabilities and I'm eager to understand how good Blender is compared to Max for this kind of work. Depending on how easy it is to use Blender for archviz, I might start using it instead of 3ds Max. I tried blender a few years ago and it was still not archviz friendly with lack of good snapping and other important things I use a lot in 3ds Max. Hopefully this has changed.
was just checking your Bcon19 video. Nice trick using that light pass. kinda reminds me of the old sibl lighting method. My old render engine had this sort of implemented. I could set different strengths for lighting, background, reflection and refraction. It also had render buffer, so we could adjust after we rendered it. Kinda what Ecycles has. PS I actually updated the addon Save-All-Render passes. It automatically set-ups all the nodes when passes are checked and also saves them correctly. Its all done on the fly! Ill need to add a new release to my github, kinda forgot about it.
I'm excited and confused. You are going to give away your interior design course... fantastic....but then what is the benefit of joining your subscription plan?
Hey, thanks for your comment! Subscription plans give you access to the extra content - project files, Blender assets, on page course chapters with extra tips, image explanations etc (video is not always the best medium to explain everything). The videos themselves should be enough if you really want to learn, but the extra content (especially the project files) can be helpful as well. The PRO Subscription also gives you access to almost 2000 Blender models and interior scenes.
thank you, but the tutorial is a little confusing. the combination of keys is only for pcs with numpad and mouse. otherwise many things i have to look up for days in other places.
I've watched several of your videos and they really helped me get started with blender (I'm still a beginner, but now I've seen that it's not as complicated as I thought, thanks to your videos). I really want to follow your course but I have doubts if I can finish a project due to the technical specifications of my notebook (16Gb Ram, NVIDIA GTX 1060, Intel i7 7h Gen). Could you say what is the minimum recommended configuration to be able to execute these architecture projects well? Your way to teach is very clear and easy to understand. So, thank you to share all your Blender´s knowledge!
Thanks Alberto, your laptop should be good enough. I made sure the course scene could be even rendered on a Macbook Pro from 2017 so you can handle it easily.
It would be amazing if cycle has lightmix feature like vray and corona, it is important for interior I will be starting the course soon, thank you very much
It has, just not in the official version. Check out the Bone-Studio Blender build at blender.community/c/graphicall/ The lightmix feature works surprisingly well.
The hardest part for me is not learning a program its figuring out what I want to make. Do I search for 2D plans online and go from there or is it better that make a room or interior from imagination. I guess I could create a mood board and get inspired from that and then create the interior. Maybe that’s it. Anyone have any advise.
Don't know how far you've gotten but I guess reproducing/studying photographs, using generative AI, and going from imagination till you do a portfolio, and then contacting studios or companies looking for a gig, to be issued documentation, could be the way to go? Maybe trying to do environment art with assets already provided, or to learn to model those assets... Well, I'm kinda going to bump into the same issues so here are my uneducated two-cents at the very least...
Hey, it will be the videos from the Course that's already available on the website. I'm now working on the Rendering Masterclass which will be available on the learn.chocofur.com first to the users, and later released on YT as well.
Hello there! I would like to kindly request your permission to translate and upload some of your videos in Russian on my TH-cam channel. Of course, I will provide a link to your original channel in the video description. Would you have any objections to this? Thank you for your response, and I apologize for any inconvenience. Best regards!
No worries, I saw this coming sooner or later. If people want to learn from it I don't want to make it harder. But at the end of the day, I need to make money like everyone else.
@@Chocofur I purchased your course. That is why I got disappointed to those people who did this to you. In fact, I also reported it to your team when I saw that your course is being pirated. I saw it really unfair for a very nice composition of tutorial. I wish you the best of luck, please do continue your works because what you are doing is effective and helps a lot of professionals!
I'm so grateful so many professionals are using Blender right now and they are sharing their knowledge with beginners.
hi ... who else beside lech?!
Is this good for concept art for video games and films?
Hi Jose, thb I made it from the designer / architect perspective. But I'm pretty sure the content would be helpful if you're an environment artist.
You had me at 4 minutes into the video. You are the real deal. If you are half as good as you are sincere, I'm going to learn a lot. I want to merge lighting fixture design and its effect on interior environments into my passion for all things Blender. Looking forward to this journey.
