If you already failed to learn interior visualization - it is most likely not your fault! Let me explain - you tried doing it the old way, not even knowing where to start. You picked some tutorials here and there, listened to some "gurus" of the industry. The result - we can both guess. When faced with the real client, the anxiety from not having enough experience was too strong to accept the job. In fact, you're not even an architect and never created anything other than your hobby side projects. Right?

The truth is - you failed because "pros" of the industry never explain the process they use in their daily work. Some of the industry "gurus" don't even do interior renderings for a living, yet they still pass their "knowledge" to others.

What I try to do in this course is to challenge these common problems. I've been doing renderings in Blender for a living for over a decade. I've trained many 3D artists who now do it for a living as well. Interior visualization is a skill like any other and you will be able to learn it too.

● The truth: interior visualization, if learned correctly, is on the easier end of 3D graphics. Most people doing architectural visualization do not have any related education. Frankly speaking, a lot of the "pros" of the industry don't have any higher education at all.

● The truth: That's one of the biggest lies of the 3D industry. Just look at the images from the Chocofur User Gallery, created by other Artists. Blender is not only more than capable when it comes to photorealistic renderings. It is the only 3D software allowing you to do this completely for free! The criticism always comes from the 3D "pros" who got stuck in their creative bubble 10 years ago. These people want you to think that interior visualization is some special skill that only a few chosen ones can learn. A skill that can be only practised with the "industry standard" tools. Thankfully, these are the 3D myths of the past decade.

● The truth: I never considered myself to have a talent in architecture. That didn't stop me from doing it for a living for over 10 years! To be honest, talent can only help you in progressing slighlty faster than others. In the end, it all comes down to learning and applying the process.

● The truth: only if you try to learn it the old way. It is possible to create a good quality interior renderings after just a few weeks of practise. As I've already mentioned, it all comes down to understanding the process. It is true that your image quality will need some time and practise to get better. But with the right foundations and techniques, this will happen much faster.

● The truth: you will be able to create the main interior renderings from this course using a laptop such as MacBook Pro. A better workstation would definitely speed up your work, but it's not required to learn the basics.

I'm Lech Sokolowski and over the past few years, I've grown Chocofur from a one-man company to a small, remote 3D agency. My Blender focused YouTube channel had over 2.0 million views in just over 2 years. My Absolute Beginners Course for Blender 2.8 has over 170.000 views. Our Chocofur Store has over 30.000 users and helped Blender Artists to earn millions of dollars from creating architectural rendeings. You can see the works of people using Blender and our 3D assets in the Chocofur User Gallery. I've also been a speaker during the official Blender Conferences. You can watch my talks here, here and here.

If you'd like to hear my story about making a living as a Blender Artist, I recommend checking the video below:

► I'm a Blender artist but I never did architectural renderings. Is this course for me?

If you're already a 3D Artist working in Blender this course is exactly for you! First, you already know Blender so adapting a new 3D skill will be much easier for you. Second, interior visualization is something that every creative person can learn. With the right foundations, it won't take ages but rather a few weeks. Third, this new skill will boost your confidence as a 3D artist and allow accepting a whole new range of projects and clients.

► I'm a complete beginner in 3D. Is this course for me?

If you're completely new to Blender, please check the first chapter of this course. It is completely free and it includes a separate mini-course on Blender basics. After finishing my Absolute Beginners Course in Blender you'll be more than ready to follow the lessons!

► I'm a 3D artist but I never used Blender. Is this course for me?

If you already have architectural visualization experience, this course is the fastest way to switch to Blender. After you grasp the foundations from the first chapter of this course, you'll be ready to start working in no time.

► How do I access the course after purchasing it?

To access the course, all you need to do is logging into your Chocofur Store Account. Then, simply navigate to learn.chocofur.com and choose the Courses subpage. It will include the Chocofur Interior Visualization Secrets in Blender with the complete list of chapters. After purchasing the course you will also receive an email explaining the process in detail.

► Is it really possible to make professional renderings in Blender?

The shortest possible answer - of course, it is possible. Check out our Chocofur User Gallery. All images featured there were made using Blender and Cycles rendering engine. You have to remember that software is only a tool. What gets you the desired results are workflow and experience, and this is what I'm trying to teach in this course.

► What are the system requirements to complete the course?

The hardware I was using when preparing the course was a Windows 10 Laptop with 32GB of ram and a GTX1070 graphics card. I was also able to re-create the main 3D scene using 2017's MacBook Pro 13-inch (the touch bar version). I'm pretty sure if you own anything with similar specifications, you'll be ready to complete the course. However, when it comes to the Apple hardware, you may experience problems when working with the Eevee rendering engine. The keyboard shortcuts I'm using are also more Windows friendly. You might need to figure some of the MacOS shortcuts yourself.

► The course was made in Blender 2.80. Is it still up to date?

There were some changes introduced to Blender since I've finished the course. I'm even covering the most important ones in Chapter 13. But most of the techniques that I teach are universal enough to be used in any Blender version! What might have changed are some keyboard shortcuts or Blender interface layouts but don't worry. You can always download the exact same Blender 2.80 version I was using when making the course. It's included in the downloads section of Chapter 01.
