Hands-on architectural 3D in Blender: design, model, and render a house.

What you'll learn:
  • Build a highly detailed 3D house model from the ground up
  • Design accurate 2D layouts within Blender for seamless planning
  • Render professional-quality camera views to showcase your work
  • Gain a solid introduction to Blender 4’s essential tools and workflow

You want one house in Blender, modelled and rendered, without a long add-on tour. This is that project.

The course still sits on an older Blender 2.8 URL. The lessons are Blender 4. You start with 2D house layouts, bring a CAD file into 3D, and build the house at a scale you can measure. Archimesh handles doors and windows so you are not modelling every frame by hand. You model a doorway, add a drain pipe and furniture objects, then take the Garage Challenge to finish a part of the house on your own.

The add-ons are tools, not the course. The course is the house you finish. UV the model, render stills, and you leave with pictures of a house you designed, modelled, and rendered yourself, not a pile of unused menus.

Use it as a second architecture project after Architectural Design & Animation, or as a simpler first house if you do not need the construction animation yet.

What you work through

  • 2D house layouts

  • 3D from a CAD file

  • Archimesh doors and windows

  • Modelling the doorway
