Blender is the 3D software AZVAvisuals uses to produce all of its architecture visualisations. It is a free (and open-source) software, developed by an active community for more than 20 years. For a long time that we wanted to share with you our knowledge in using this amazing piece of software (directly comparable with 3dsMax, Maya or Cinema4D). The participants of this workshop are going to receive a template file with a prepared light setting and materials, so that producing renderings should be a breeze.

Happy workshop!
