[@gottagowork]

I'm not into "real" archviz, but some of my thoughts to be read with a truckload of salt: 1. Using the new Nishita sun&sky texture with builtin sun position addon, you can do solar studies, dynamic sunset imagery with ease. I prefer this over hdris, cleans up faster. Nishita doesn't come with a ground albedo, so you need a ground to bounce light or coordinate blend in ground hdri. Use as small hdris as possible for lighting and reflections, use highres ldrs for backplates. 2. Use outside assets to produce shadows. Use them to create leading lines or just break up the pattern. Make sure curtains work, having a shadow on the inside (translucency). 3. Lift floorboards and lower ceiling trims 1mm for better shadowgaps/contact shadows. Break up the corners correctly, and split to appropriate lengths (with cutting bevels). 4. Look at other archviz artists regardless of software. You're not looking for technique, but the thinking process. Even photography and cinematography tutorials may teach you a trick or two. 5. Repeating texture patterns is a fast dead giveaway for me. Use painting, rugs, and other furniture to hide the fact, and/or learn procedural material approaches. 6. For materials with a significant depth to them, don't rely on normal/bump maps alone. Microdisplacement is a must (i.e. bricks/stone) to produce correct shadows. 7. Make sure you have enough lighting assets in the scene to properly light the room at night. 8. Denoisers don't like low bounced light imo. To prevent massive amounts of samples to clear it out, you can add a little bit of global AO, but avoid using Principled sheen with global AO. Not all rooms you're facing will have the luxury of a massive light opening like here, darker color palette will bounce the light less, or you'll have dark corridor/corners that receive only bounced lighting and no direct lighting at all - prone to noise. 9. Some of the best archviz scenes I see *are* "underexposed". The floodlight approach shown here never cause me to go wow. Expose for the mood and message you want to send. Being aware of a "proper exposure" is a good thing, knowing how to use exposure artistically is often overlooked. 10. If you don't have the luxury of massive light openings, consider bringing in that light from somewhere else - light from behind or side walls, or artificial lighting. Not all rooms may have windows. 11. If due to lighting conditions you need to use artificial lighting, make sure all your lighting assets have a passthrough node group attached for the emission. Leave a copy of this in the world shader, and here you can now toggle all your lights and adjust the world. You want to render out interior lights and daylight in separation for best noise performance, then simply add them together in post. A passthrough node group is nothing more than a group with shader in and shader out. To turn off all lights using this group, you simply break the connection inside (or use a mix shader with nothing, but the mix factor can't be exposed).

[@unknownclint1740]

Thanks! for those useful tips

[@blenderguru]

I agree with most points. Regarding #1: I almost did the Nashita Sky method for this tutorial but gave up due to one massive problem: you have to generate your own landscape outside. I started making procedural mountains and trees, then realized it was complete overkill. You sacrifice some flexibility, but HDRs are still the easiest and fastest solution.

[@gottagowork]

​@@blenderguru Can still use a backplate for camera rays. If using archimesh, I don't like its glass material so I replace it with this: Layer Weight/Facing -> Power 5 -> +0.05 clamped, to shader mix between Transparency shader and sharp Glossy shader. You don't have to deal with inverted normal issues on fresnel, ray type issues, or layering issues (most windows are multi pane, so that extra reflection don't matter if it has thickness). And you get fresnel shadows without any extra work. I really like Nishita Sun & Sky for the control it gives me; pretty realistic colors wrt sun elevation and sky conditions, and light softness control by using i.e. sun strength 0.01 in combination with sun size 20 degrees for a more semiovercast look. The one thing it's missing is ground albedo. Would fade nicely into the distant "haze", and would bounce sun & sky based on its color. If I want it to tint my ceiling green from outside grass, I now have to use a camera invisible green plane. A black ground albedo would produce current result. Using real glass shader involving refraction, ray visibility manipulation becomes more tricky, as does shadow handling - especially if you want fresnel shadows. But the best thing about Nishita, is that it gives us a reference light; setup the scene using Nishita, adjust the exposure to match, then switch to HDRI if you want and adjust it's strength to match the exposure (assuming the HDRI contents are comparable). Now you can bring in any artificial lights (set once for accuracy) and you know everything is in proper proportions. For my stuff, kinda critical.

[@mrfeathers3938]

Andrew you have killed it. And this is i think my very first comment on the youtube ever. But I have to write it solely to commemorate the feeling I have while watching this video. I have been following your channel for quite some time even though i even had no intention in using blender at first. Since than I have grown to like and admire the passion which you have been putting into your videos and even later on into your own company. And somehow this video is an epitome to everything you did right. The expertise, the pacing, the easy going approach, which i know is way harder to master than it might seem, the lightness of not shying away from showing exactly what one needs to see even if it does not directly contribute to your own business is just breathtaking. The long term investment. Something that is seen less and less nowadays. So, after a post that is probably way longer and more convoluted than it should be, so it probably doesn't make the cut, I just wanted to say bravo and thank you..

[@DavidAllen_0]

A tip I've found from using online models is that if I dislike a color of the texture, I go into the shader editor and pop in a HSL node between the color texture and the Principled BSDF's color input. I typically find having to desaturate many models in order to fit them with my scenes to neutralize them and maintain my focal element. This helps tremendously when going for specific color schemes. So if I ever hate a color but like the design, not all hope is lost, we've got options and tools Not sure if this is common knowledge or what (it probably is just common sense, lol) I suppose I'll just throw it out there anyways

[@ewajakubczyk700]

[@W0rldCitizen]

Awesome Tutorial! I'm glad I found it because now I know why there are so many people on my Beginner Blender FB Page sharing things they say they have created but they neglect to mention that they downloaded all the assets instead of modeling them themselves. I'm not saying there is anything wrong with downloading assets when you are working for a client and creating a space but very few people tell this beginner Blender group that they have done so. That makes it seems like they are learning at a much faster pace than everyone else. Here's an example post "I've been working in 3d modeling for 1 week what do you think?" The post they share looks COMPLETELY photo realistic and they have modeled things that are VERY complicated PERFECTLY. It makes all the rest of the beginners feel like they have absolutely NO chance to make it in the industry so they quit or get completely disheartened. Please emphasize that people need to give credit to other creators when they are using their model's/texture etc. when they are sharing with a group of 3d modelers (especially if it's a beginner group).

[@W0rldCitizen]

BTW I've been using Blender (mainly for creating things to import into Second Life) for about 10 years. I can honestly tell you that I SUCK! LOL. I've only recently started following your tutorials (DOUGHNUT!) and NEVER tried to make something photo-realistic because Second Life isn't Photo-Realistic. I've never even tried to render something before a few months ago!

[@BlenderSecrets]

Inspiring tutorial! Makes me feel like creating some rooms, just for fun. My biggest challenge working for clients in ArchViz was always that they wanted to add a lot of 3D people. Just like plants, it’s hard to find good resources for that (it’s usually 5 people dressed in different outfits to look like more people, which is very obvious if you put them in the same scene). I think if someone were to put out a really good model library with at least like 100 different 3D people that would be a great resource.

[@phamthaiduy7435]

Human3D they sell people in blender format with 5 diffrent colors for outfits, they even setup node in blender to change color for skin, hair, eye, outfit. You could download their free models and play with their blender setup, quite interesting. Hope you make a video about it. BTW, I'm a big fan of your channel.

For anyone struggling with a distorted / zoomed / misaligned HDRI background after applying the glass node set-up, it's because the normals need to be adjusted. To fix this, go to Object mode and select the window pane that's distorted.

truly amazing stuff! i could not get an interior designing tutorial from a long time. The other videos are so complex including architectural designs and all but this one is for beginners! True game dude! Thanks

[@stalebread6343]

I can't thank you enough, I have stopped working on most of my personal projects because I thought I had to model everything to create rooms and environments. This is an eye openeer and I feel a large weight off my chest. Thank you again!

Awesome tutorial! I'm actually an Interior Designer and good points about the Interior Design process. The only thing I'd mention is that majority of the Interior Designers (Not Decorators) that are in the profession now know 3d software, but blender isn't typically used. We also know how to draw, but 3d software is definitely a big part of design. Anyways, if you ever need to chat with a designer again, or need feedback feel free to reach out!

[@mc-architecture2744]

Yes exactly, probably he means only the old generation who doesnt know 3d because he talk about visualization studio he visited. So he seems also aware of it.

Hey great video Andrew. Regarding the "Select Similar" tool, I think it would be safer to choose 'Co-planar' instead of 'Normal' because selecting 'Normal' means it would select all faces pointing in the same direction regardless of Z location; so if the house had walls with thickness, it would also select the roof (if it was flat) and any face that is facing that same direction (which might not be what you want exactly).

[@Hermit_Hollow]

You're a godsend! the firm I work with don't like forking out for expensive rendering software (that I spent 5 years learning in Uni.. rip), so blender has been an amazing choice and these videos have helped immensely!

[@hammockmonk]

it’s been a while since I’ve done one of Andrew’s tutorials and I have a renewed appreciation for how easy the instructions are to follow. Such a pleasure. Thanks!

19:53 Oh yes, you have no idea. In September 2019 I went to a fabric factory, because Vitra was launching a new product and partnership, the Bovist, it is a really good product. Vitra is a high end furniture supplier, and they stated to the factory owner, that “We will not hesitate to send back an entire roll of fabric even if it has the smallest imperfections.” Imperfections like the threads being too lose to each other, or being too bumpy, or even a small imperfection like a little ruined spot. They are very picky, and for a good reason, their products lasts decades, they expect nothing but perfection from their suppliers.

Andrew, as I see someone else has highlighted below, tons of respect for the nod to HDRI Haven. You brought me into Blender with the 1st donut tutorial (I completed the 2.8 version as well, very well done), and I can't thank you enough for all you've done to empower & teach people. I'll be honest, I haven't paid for Poliigon Premium yet because I idealistically intend to make money before I spend it on this hobby (hobby for now, at least), but I most certainly see the value in the Poliigon brand. I've been learning, practicing, etc. for about 2 years now. Once I get to the point that this becomes more than a simple hobby, you've definitely got a Poliigon customer. My point here... Lots of respect for making sure people understand the value of HDRI Haven rather than trying to sell something. Basically, just trying to say thank you and keep up the awesome work. Working on a project and came back to this video to refresh on your concepts here. Cheers, mate!

But even in that there are things one would never think about on their own unless they were some kind of designer or 3D modeling expert in advance. I feel the need for an even simpler beginning with the whole concept of modeling things.
