I'm trying to learn how to render in Blender and Cycles, but I don't know if the proper workflow is to export the architectural model from other programs (usually made in SketchUp, Archicad or Revit, never made natively in Blender) or if it's necessary to re-model them in Blender for a correct rendering I love the tutorials
@blekleratlerat make sure to organize you scene well before importing, in most cases your geometry would be okay to use, but considering the layout before hand helps, for example group.objects based on material in skp before, make sure that the walls are actual geometry with volumes, the vertices are welded ect. Usually fbx and colladae are okay, if you sr using 3Ds max no need to export, it reads skp and dwg natively really well !
@@AlternaVisionStudio Very grateful for your response, I am just starting and solving doubts like this motivates me to continue learning. Underrated channel
Depends on the purpose, I've did this exact scene in unreal engine. Unreal takes a bit more skills to get great results especially when you get to animations. Blender is way easier and pretty fast especially that you can model things in it since it's a full 3D software. You can try both, some scenes are Bette if made in blender and other in unreal but blender is definitely worth learning and pretty easy especially if you already know cgi.
@@AlternaVisionStudio Thanks for the response! So I'm much better at Unreal, and not so great with Blender yet, which is why I was curious. Maybe I will try both as well :)
Yeah you most likely are better off with unreal, but for scenes like the ones i do or some types of environment blender is way faster if you don't mind waiting for render times.@@beyondcinema
Okay much appreciated 🫶🏼🫶🏼… but where is the video link? … and also I’ll appreciate if you do a proper guide on how to import these models into blender set up the materials showing us the easiest ways as beginners and the environment as well then also how to do the render settings and render
Already working on that, which would be a full tutorial that'll be 7 to 10 hours long, taking you from scratch to a nice image. Message me on instagram so i could let you know once its out.
@@ignacioballardini1684 to select loops or rings you press alt+left click, if you have multiple objects and want to select the similar faces search for the select similar and choose any of the attributes.
loving the content but is it possible for a detailed step by step process because some of us it's our first-time using blender :)
Thank you ! Will definitely do a beginner series so stay tuned.

Am an Architect, but a beginner in blender. Let me check out your channel for beginner tutorials.
That's what it's for ! Blender is easy to learn if you already know 3d from architecture.

amazing!
Thank you : D. Definitely a very fast workflow.
awesome!
more of content like this please!
by the way, may I know your PC specs please?
Thank you!
Thank you, I am using a ryzen 7 5700x and rtx 4070, but you could use anything more than an i5 5th gen and 8gb of ram.
is it better to do it in Blender or Unreal?

The pine tree forest scatpack is $35
Correct, all though i am sure you could find cheaper pine models or even free ones.
Why are only cameras imported?
I added them earlier : D
@@AlternaVisionStudio u mean version?
Thanks for the tutorial though it's not begginers at all :(
Yes, i did fast forward certain things, I will try to make everything slower in the future.
please i want camera addon
It's called Photographer addon
I can’t even understand anything
@evansndubuisi3314 i have made the tutorials more beginner friendly in later videos : D

you cant upload a beginner tutorial and start using shortcuts that beginners dont know
I will enable viewing shortcuts on the screen in the future.
@@AlternaVisionStudio how do you select the entire side of the mesh when doing the environment
@@ignacioballardini1684 to select loops or rings you press alt+left click, if you have multiple objects and want to select the similar faces search for the select similar and choose any of the attributes.
@@AlternaVisionStudio thanks, knowing all the shortcuts rly accels the workflow
