Blender is the first and only fully integrated 3D graphics creation suite allowing modeling, animation, rendering, post-production, realtime interactive 3D and game creation and playback with cross-platform compatibility - all in one tidy, easily and free downloadable package.
  • The pace of Blender's development seems to be speeding up. There are some big improvements packed into this latest version! Here's everything new you will find in Blender 2.9. New Modeling Features in Blender 2.9 Extrude Manifold is a new tool for extruding faces inwards while deleting overlapping faces and dissolving overlapping vertices.
  • Blender’s default keymap has two main interaction modes: Right- and left-click-select. In the past, Blender has used right-click-select to have a more clear distinction between selection and action. In this mode, the RMB (Right Mouse Button) is generally used for selection and the LMB (Left Mouse Button) initiates or confirms actions.

Blender Editor's Review

2.90

You can get an idea of Blender’s capabilities by listing some of the projects that have used it. For example, the makers of ‘Spiderman 2’ used Blender for 3D and character animation; it was used for the special effects in the film ‘Vendredi ou un autre Jour’, movies ‘Elephants Dream’, ‘Big Buck Bunny’, ‘Sintel’ and ‘Plumiferos’ a 3D CG feature film were made in Blender; as was the 3D game ‘Yo Frankie!’
Blender comes from the not-for-profit Blender Foundation. It is open-source, free to download and use but requires a considerable investment of time and effort from the serious user and rewards her with the flexible software and skills to model in 2 and 3D, animate, render and process images and videos to an award-winning professional standard. It includes related functionality: a game engine, fonts, motion capture and many, many more.
A good place to start is to become familiar with the interface which has been reworked in the recent 2.61 version. Support comes in the way of texts, models and tutorials from the official website. A CMS gathers background information and lists many websites and groups maintained by Blender followers, (Blender Art Magazine, Blender Nation, and so on). If that is not enough a shelf of specialist commercial books offers guidance through the Blender product.
As for the software, by its nature it is resource hungry, but bug-free. Learned and professional users consider Blender to be a match or more for other pay-for packages.
Pros: Undo and Redo support at all levels; immensely capable toolset; ardent community; fully configurable user interface.
Cons: Size and complexity.
Conclusions: This is a conceptual product whose primary audience is the professional designer. Its focus is 3D animation, but it extends beyond. It demands a commitment to learning it. It may be free to download and use, but unless you prepare for the road ahead you may find yourself unable to get the most out of it; and there is a great deal to get from this product.

Blender 2.90 Release Date

In the last few months, you probably heard about the qualities and groundbreaking tools offered by Blender 2.8. That is true, and if you tried to use the new user interface and options such as Eevee for real-time rendering, you would see how those statements reflect the truth.

The new release cycle of Blender will bring version 2.90 around July or August of 2020. Because of that, we won’t see versions 2.84–2.89 and will jump straight from 2.83 to 2.90.

With version 2.90, you will find the same user interface of 2.8x with some “cosmetic” changes, which is great because there won’t be any drastic redesign forcing artists to learn everything from scratch.

In version 2.90, you will find a “game-changer” tool for architectural modeling. The new tool has the name of Extrude, Dissolve, and Intersect. Because of that tool, we are assigning a cute nickname to version 2.90: The SketchUp killer.

What can we do with the Extrude, Dissolve, and Intersect? Here is a quick demo of the tool:

Blender 2.90a

As you can see from the video, it can extrude and change a model topology by dissolving faces (N-Gons) and also intersect the results with surrounding faces. It works in a very similar way of the Push/Pull from SketchUp.

If you have any prior experience trying to teach Blender for architects, you know that a significant amount of people tend to model in SketchUp, because it is “easier” and export the results to render with Cycles.

With a tool such as Extrude, Dissolve, and Intersect allied with the Knife tool (K key), you will have the same workflow from SketchUp in Blender. Instead of drawing an edge to extrude, you will cut an existing face. Leading edge laptops & desktops driver download for windows.

That has the potential to bring a lot more architects and students to Blender. Not only they will have a robust 3D modeling environment, but an incredible line up of renders. Rendering a project with Cycles or Eevee is just a click away.

Do you want to test Blender 2.90? It is already available as an alpha release at the Blender Builder. I don’t have to remind you that it is still in alpha, and you shouldn’t open or use it to critical projects.

What about the snapping system of Blender? For some architectural artists, the snapping system is one of the biggest issues related to precision modeling in Blender. You might want to take a look at this free Add-on: CAD Like Transform that fixes the snapping.

Using Blender for architecture

Blender 2.90

Do you want to use Blender for architecture or render your projects using Cycles or Eevee? We have three books available that could help you!

They cover the use of Blender for producing architectural content and also all information you need to render projects in real-time:
