Design your own office building and make that looks photorealistic. Learn the basics of exterior architecture modeling in cycles.

If you know how to build a simple basic building/model and put the right textures on it with some cool reflections, it’s just a small step to make that super great dream building you always wanted to create.

This is a 40 minutes tutorial, and i will explain how to create:

• Window frames
• create the base model
• Glass shaders
• Sky reflections
• Street furniture

Basics of blender are required, but in fact this is not a very hard scene to create. I put all the textures together and there is a blend file available of course. Some textures are mine, but some are from cg textures. Of course my textures are free to use.
