Modern Interior

2026

Modern living room render with a grey sofa, floor-to-ceiling windows and a butterfly canvas on the wall

Architectural visualization is its own discipline within 3D work: the goal is not a single hero object but a complete room that reads as a real, lived-in space. This modern living room was built from start to finish, starting with the architecture and the color scheme, then moving through modelling, texturing, furnishing and the final camera work.

The room itself was modelled to accurate real-world dimensions, with the Archimesh add-on used to drop in a properly proportioned window. Getting the shell right early matters: once the proportions feel correct, everything placed inside the space sits naturally rather than fighting the geometry.

The furniture was a project in itself. The modern couch was modelled and textured from scratch, and Blender's cloth simulation gave the cushions and pillows their soft, settled shape instead of a stiff, modelled look. Combined with procedural and image-based materials, the surfaces respond to light the way their real counterparts would, which is what sells the realism in an interior.

The final stage focused on presentation: camera placement, composition and depth of field, rendering several angles together, then post-processing and compositing to finish the images. Completed as part of Stephen Pearson's Create & Design a Modern Interior in Blender 3D course on Udemy.
