Learn Architectural Design & Animation With Blender

Name walls, cut door pockets with the boolean modifier, then bevel edges and apply shade auto smooth to create realistic door geometry for the next lecture.

Set origins and pivot points for bifolding doors, adjust handles, then duplicate and mirror components with alt d to share textures, reduce file size, and organize into door parts folders.

Model a skirting board between floor and wall in Blender, adjust scale and position, add a bevel, and join pieces across rooms for a finished look.

Model soft sofa cushions in Blender using cubes as bases, duplicate across, adjust scales, and apply a subdivision surface to create upholstery, then refine edges for a realistic seat base.

Apply piping details to upholstered sofa bases in Blender by duplicating, converting to curves, beveling, and converting back to meshes, then joining components and smoothing.

Learn to model sofa back cushions in Blender by creating and duplicating cushions, aligning edges, and applying local vs global transforms while previewing subdivision surface effects.

Learn how to create and simulate loose sofa cushions in Blender using particle physics and cloth modifiers, applying gravity, collisions, and iterative tweaks to achieve realistic wrinkles and interaction.

Learn the basics of UV mapping by unwrapping simple shapes in Blender, marking seams, and using Smart UV Project to control texture placement and avoid overlapping islands.

Apply textures to window assemblies in Blender by UV unwrapping, creating window frame, glass, and rubber seal materials with Principled BSDF, and tune scale for realistic dimpling.

Apply materials to bi-folding doors in Blender, using duplicate doors, smart UV projection, and material assignment for window frames, glass, and rubber seals.

Apply a two-tone roof material in Blender by unwrapping with Smart UV Project, creating roof and roof rubber materials, adjusting scales, and refining edges with bevel and node-based shading.

Learn to create an external render material in Blender using Voronoi textures, displacement, and color ramps, then apply internal wall textures and wall cladding with UV mapping and bevel shading.

Apply walnut bed frame, light oak, and quilted leather textures to bedroom surfaces in blender, using UV mapping, texture setup, and mapping adjustments for realistic grain and orientation.

Set up ground floor lighting in blender using a recessed ceiling panel with emissive material and add handrail underlighting for warm, even illumination.

Import assets into the Blender scene, position day bed, reading lamp, hot tub, and roof lighting, then adjust lighting for realism and use walk fly mode to inspect every area.

Add vegetation by importing trees from Blender kit, balance file sizes and VRAM, and duplicate with alt d to distribute varied trees for realism.

Learn to produce high quality still renders in blender by camera setup, focal length, depth of field, test renders, adjusting lighting, and final high resolution outputs.

Learn how to render animation in Blender, balancing image quality and render time with 2k resolution at 24 fps, using 120 frames per clip and persistent data.

Celebrate finishing the course by applying your new Blender skills to your architectural design and animation projects, share your house versions, and explore more courses.

Master Blender troubleshooting for design, including zoom, crash recovery, purging unused data, compressing saves, bevel fixes after applying scale, VRAM reduction via viewport simplification and hiding objects from render.
