Blender for Architecture


Blender for Architecture is a website in which many assets for architecture can be found. All of the files on the website are free and downloadable and range from materials, textures, models, scripts, and tutorials. Users may als upload and share their own assets here if they would like.

Of all of things you can find on this website, it's decently sized HDR collection has got to be the most useful. Containing over 30 different sky maps you are sure to find one that will work for you.

Blender for Architecture's material library is decently sized, and at least has a material from practically every category you can think of. And if you can't find the exact material you are looking for, download one that is close to what you want and fudge with the settings until it looks right.

I give this website an 7 out of 10. While the library is decently sized, not all of the assets are of extremely good quality. Some are fair and others are excellent, but not to say that there aren't a good amount of suitable ones. Another downside to this site is that it doesn't look very recent. The main page was last updated May 1, 2009 and the materials were last updated May 11, 2007.

I would recommend checking out this site if you haven't already, and if you find something you like all the better to you. I would suggest however not to limit yourself to one site, get on google and see what's out there!
