Blender is a powerful, free, and open-source 3D computer graphics software toolset, compatible with platforms such as Windows, macOS, Linux, and more. It is widely used for creating animated films, visual effects, 3D-printed models, and interactive 3D applications. Additionally, it proves invaluable in infrastructure engineering, offering robust 3D modeling, realistic visualization, and simulation capabilities, all while ensuring seamless interoperability with other design software.
In infrastructure and architectural workflows, Blender can be used to model buildings and urban environments, enhanced by add-ons like “Archimesh” for creating structures and “BlenderGIS” for importing GIS data.
In this tutorial, we demonstrate how to take advantage of these add-ons to model a house with windows and doors, import a city with geographical data, and finally project the house within this city.
Lighting and rendering are finalized using Blender’s Cycles engine, incorporating environmental lighting via a sky texture for realistic results.
This technique is ideal for architectural visualization, urban planning, and context-aware modeling workflows.
