Learning Blender for Architectural Visualization

Here are some early renders I put together.

I’ve become interested in architectural visualization, and have been learning 3D modeling in rendering in Blender so that I can get started with it. I love that 3d brings together and formalizes other areas of art and design. For example, from phototography: in Blender you can recreate lens characteristics such as chromatic abberation, lens flare, and depth of field. However, there are no accidents here–in order to make these look good and believable, you have to be very intentional in quantifying the parameters of a desired effect. Super cool.
