Archviz in Blender 280 (Classes 1-3)

Archviz in Blender 280 Class 1 from DXF to Walls

In this class you’ll learn some useful techniques* that I apply when I work with DXF files of real clients .

All with the brand new Blender 2.8!

In this kind of Archviz projects, you must be fast and accurate (especially if you’re freelancing) in terms of wall measurings. With this method is a breath!

I’ll provide you the DXF file, so you can follow me if you want during the class.

You’ll learn in 4 easy steps how to go from DXF to 3D:

Import DXF layout and check scale

Cleanup the mesh

Extrude walls, floor and ceiling

Closing door gaps and walking through

*Beginner-Intermediate level

By the way, this is the first part of a series I’m preparing where you’ll learn the steps to achieve realistic interior renders. Having a look on placing doors, windows, details, setting materials, lighting (EEVEE?), rendering and postproduction. All in the brand new Blender 2.8!
