Archviz in Blender 2. 8 | Modern Bathroom | Class 2: Materials & Basic lighting

Hello everyone! Victor here!

Continuing on the modeling of this modern bathroom designed by Dibujo.Design Interiors : Large Contemporary Bathroom

In this second class of the course, we are going to work on lighting and materials. We will study and set some basic lighting and the viewport for our test renders.

Then, we will start working with PBR materials and learn some useful techniques to have a fast approach to achieve realistic materials as:

• Box projection mapping.
• Combine different textures to personalize materials.
• Configure materials to have randome tones and push realism.
• And other details...

In this class I use both free and paid PBR materials, so I share with you a few ones as well as some great resources that I use when I'm looking for high quality materials. Searching good PBR materials for our projects it's also a very important thing to work on, so go for it and build a great library. Here are some of the best I found:

• Poliigon
• Textures.com
• CC0 Textures
• Texture Haven

By the way, this is the second class of a total of 4 classes. In further lessons we will learn all the steps and workflow to achieve photorealistic renders of this modern bathroom.In future classes we will take a look on cloth simulation, collection instancing, rendering and postproduction.

I really hope you enjoy this course. Later, after finish the 4 classes I'll probably run a little contest among the best results, so work hard on it! I can't wait to see your results!

**NOTE: I'm working to improve the audio quality :)

Take care and have fun,

Victor.
