Hello guys i created those materials from photos that inspired me what do you think, and tell me how you make this yourself?

Hi guys!

At the end of May, I started practicing with Blender, focusing on exterior architectural visualization, and I really enjoyed it! Since I live in a post-Soviet country, I spent a lot of time modeling prefabricated “commie blocks“, often without blueprints, simply by referencing real-life examples. I soon realized that I could take things further by creating designs for new residential developments, so I set a goal to break into this niche.

Starting in August, I began learning D5 and also completed two full-scale projects for my portfolio (both entirely conceived by me - it was incredibly difficult).

In September, I started trying to find clients and companies via email and similar channels, offering standard renders as well as the interactive features available in D5; I received only one response. Now I’m looking on LinkedIn and Fiverr, but the conversion rate is terrible there, too.

The worst part is that I actually like this niche, but AI scares the hell out of me—the way it’s nipping at my heels. Even though I basically learned the ropes thanks to it (shoutout to Gemini guides), it’s incredibly painful when you’re young and find your niche, only to be terrified that it could go dead within just a few years.

As an interior designer using Blender, I got tired of the headache turning flat fabric scans into true-scale PBR materials. I built a custom tool to fix it.
What’s your current go-to workflow for clean texture maps?

I'd love to know your feedback on this

I'm trying to work more or lighting. I would love to hear your feedback on this project.

A challenge I did today. What do you think?

Hey guys,

I've been working in ArchViz for over 20 years, mainly with 3ds Max and Corona.

I've been trying to get new clients lately, reaching out to studios, architects and developers, but honestly, it's been pretty hard. Not getting many replies, and I'm starting to wonder what actually works these days.

I'm based in Argentina, working with clients worldwide. I do interiors, exteriors, aerials, animations, and real estate marketing visuals. I'm also getting more into AI and video.

To be honest, I really need to bring in some new projects right now, and I'd love to hear from people who are going through the same thing or have figured out a way to get more consistent work.

Where are you guys finding clients? Emails, Instagram, LinkedIn? Is there anything that's actually working for you?

I'm looking just some real advice from people in the field.

And of course, if anyone needs help with projects, I'm open to working together.

Here's my work: www.instagram.com/jaguar3d.visuals

Thanks, guys. Appreciate any advice.

Been testing AI on some of my 3ds Max work. Here’s the original render alongside the AI version.

Hello, yesterday I finished the modeling of the house. apply some fast lights and materials just as an example, what can I improve? the lights are bad but especially how can I generate textures that do not feel repetitive, this in D5., I use PBR textures

Now it links geometry across software and devices in real time

Archai support :

- Revit

- Autocad

- rhino

- blender

- unreal engine

- sketchup

- 3DsMax

And available in web and for android and windows for now

Note: its still WIP so if you find any glitch or lagging please report in github repo,

Me llama bastante la atención como trabajo, porque me parece poco estresante, que no hay que estudiar, que se puede hacer desde donde quieras, un trabajo creativo, tal...

Pero no se si es una buena idea, sedme sinceros: ¿es muy dificil? ¿está bien pagado? ¿que tal las vacaciones? ¿es estresante? y en resumen, si podéis aconsejarme y decirme porqué os dedicáis a esto, gracias.

Just sharing aa project I completed towards the end of last year. I built everything in 3DS Max, seen in the 360 tour on the project link (added a day and night setting too). I started exploring with animating the rendered images using AI to give faster results and in some cases I think the people react and engage with the scene better than Anima4D or rigged people do. What does everyone think here? Would you use the image to video AI tools to speed your animation timelines along while still having the control over your images within the model?

Regret putting lowpoly tree as the main hero tree upfront lol

This is my recent model of a glass elevator having separate parts, made for customization.

What y'all think about it

Like many people in this community, I’m amazed at the new AI modelling capabilities with ChatGPT 6 Astra.

I’ve recently had a client who needed marketing content for a wedding barn which is being built along with on site premium camping. I initially quoted based on capturing drone footage of the environment, building the whole scene, camera matching the footage etc. They had a small budget (obviously) and we don’t want to turn away work, which gave me the challenge of testing Astra to model, hopefully cutting down some of the time to match with the budget.

This method would still give me the control over the texturing, lighting and camera angles, giving me more time to produce visuals and animations under the budget costs and timelines. Take a look at the full project in the link provided. Happy to discuss the workflow further - I didn’t model a thing! - Not saying this should be used instead of typical workflows, I just adapted to an opportunity provided to me.

Also - this is my first Reddit post so please be kind and give any advice if I’ve missed anything vital!

I've built a simple prototype and this looks like a viable product(lol). What I can't figure out is how does the data look like coming from the architect and developers? Do you have to rebuild from scratch? Do they give out the measurements? I understand I can use datasmith to transfer from 3ds or revit but how painful is it? How do I test the pipeline with real projects?

Most of it are re-useable and template-ty.
