Archviz Home

As with all these Blender projects they tend to be evolutions, the next step on the practice ladder. They say no project is really finished and that anything which makes it out into the world actually escapes from its creator. I think this is one which will escape bit by bit. Inspired again by Andrew Price (aka Blender Guru) and his video on archviz rendering, I started with the kitchen and was quite prepared to let it go there, with its four walls and assets.. until I made the mistake of giving into a compulsion to keep playing. One aspect in which this varies from standard archviz is that rather than importing purchased/free models, ALL the assets are homemade - this is practice after all. Interestingly pretty much everything in here can be bought, since I used a lot of actual products as reference.

The luxury cinema, complete with a screen so expensive that it could only truly belong in this hideously expensive virtual project.
