Render Engines
Blender vs 3ds Max Render Engines: A Complete Guide to Their Differences
When it comes to 3D design, the render engine is the heart of how your final image or animation looks. While modeling tools like Blender and Autodesk 3ds Max both provide powerful environments for 3D creation, what really makes the difference is the renderer you choose.
Each renderer has its own philosophy, workflow, and strengths—some focus on photorealism, others on speed and stylization. In this post, we’ll break down the main render engines available in Blender and 3ds Max, compare their differences, and highlight which one might fit your workflow best.
Walkable Cities
Imagining Walkable Cities in Tunisia: An Urban Planner’s Perspective
For decades, Tunisian cities — like many around the world — have been designed with cars at the center. Wide boulevards, sprawling suburbs, and parking lots often dominate our urban landscape. But what if we shifted the focus back to people, not vehicles? What if our cities were designed so that walking was not just possible, but pleasant and practical?
This is the vision of a walkable city: a place where everyday needs are within reach, where the public realm is vibrant, and where streets are more than transit corridors — they are spaces of life.
3D design in modern urban planning
Why 3D Design is Revolutionizing Modern Urban Planning
Urban planning has always been about envisioning the future—imagining spaces where people live, work, and thrive. But for decades, we’ve been stuck communicating these visions through flat blueprints, 2D maps, and technical drawings that only fellow planners could decipher. The gap between imagination and communication has been vast, leaving stakeholders struggling to truly understand proposed developments.
Enter 3D design: the bridge that’s transforming how we plan, communicate, and build our cities.
