Small study on colour and composition using the principles outlined by the great Gleb Alexandrov on utilising and modelling primary, secondary and tertiary model details. Also an excuse to model the stool and utilise Blender 2.79’s new PBR shader and cycles denoising feature. All modeled in Blender and rendered in Cycles with some lighting refinement in PS CC.
Client provided me with a basic Sketchup model of the house, which then was imported to Blender, where most of my workflow took place.
I used hdri images for lighting, I also placed some blackbody light planes inside the building for evening shots.
Trees are from Evermotion “Archmodels for Blender” pack.
Fern models were created by me, using textures from Quixel “Forest Undergrowth” pack. That’s also where the stones and and trunk models come from.
I used grass from BlenderGuru’s “Grass Essentials”.
One image also contains my unfinished side project – Alfa Romeo Disco Volante, which I am also planning to visualize.
Compositing was mostly done in Blender, two last images are straight from there, but I also used some Photoshop magic for godrays and dust particles in two first images.
This is a project of a small housing estate. Investment located in Warsaw (Poland).
The project was modeled in Blender 2.78, rendered in Cycles. Little Postproduction in Photoshop CC.
Today I’m happy to share with you the Making of Best of Week 18/2017 – “The Oak Pass House” by Ján Morek. This one is unique, being an amazing recreation of the house and done fully in Blender, using blender tools, plugins, and scripts. Furniture aside, all was made by Ján, and so represents what one can do in the Blender ecosystem.
Hello,
this is my newest architectural visualization, based on the Elliott Ripper house by Christopher Polly Architect.
During the work I decided to give the whole thing a little twist, by using my own colors and change things at the building, materials, surrounding and environment.
This idea came up because I already have a white building in my portfolio and I like it more colorful. The mood I wanted to reach should be an evening after a sunny day at the very early stage of the fall season.
The modeling is mostly done in 3ds Max. After getting in contact with Blender a few weeks ago, I tried out Blender and Blenders awesome Cycles renderer and PBR material workflow.
Lighting is completely realized with a HDRI from HDRI Haven, check out the great HDRIs Greg have on his website.
I also used Substance Painter in some parts.
The big trees in the back and the magnolia in the front are made with The Grove, a 3d tree growing software which is available for Blender, definitely worth a try.
The compositing was done in Photoshop.
I hope you like the picture. Feel free to leave a comment, ask questions and check out my homepage, get in contact at LinkedIn and ArtStation.

First shot of the upcoming project, it’s a training project, I found a photo of the very interesting house a and tried to reproduce it. Almost everything I modeled in Blender just furniture is purchased. Rendered in Cycles and post process is done in Photoshop.
