Modern villa 2021 Blender Eevee and Cycles 2 without furniture Low-poly 3D model

NOTE (as of 2023) To make this model more accessible for all: All licensed textures have been replaced by copyright-free (cc0) textures.

This project is developed in blender 2.93.0

This download contains a complete house with garden. everything is textured and the lighting is completely baked for fast Eevee renders (day and night version). This model can be used for commercial purposes and works with realtime game engines.

Video

The YouTube video on this page shows the furnished villa. The furniture is not included for this version.

Short description

This is a modern contemporary villa with interior for Blender Eevee and cycles. Its inspired by Modern Los Angeles mansions together with a original twist. This is a original designed and modelled house and doesn’t exist in the real world.

Day and night version

There are 2 blend files available with both a fully baked day and night version of this villa, Both versions can be set to cycles

Animated

All doors are animated by keyframes. These keyframes can be moved to suit your animation or static renders. The doors are parented to the floor of the house, so when moving and rotating the structure, the doors will keep opening like they should.

The animations are not exported into other file formats.

Performance (Eevee)

The scene is optimized to get as much performance and as little memory usage as possible. I would still recommend a system with at least 8gb RAM and 6gb GPU memory. (although the rendered Eevee viewport uses less than 4gb RAM and GPU memory) If your GPU doesn’t have enough memory, you can always choose to render with cycles on your CPU.

3D grass particles are turned off in the viewport for optimization reasons, but are easy to enable in the outliner. If you need more performance, you can turn off more layers like the vegetation, interior lights or lowering the shadow resolution.

Cycles

All cycles settings are already setup (samples, bounces, denoiser) the only thing manually adjusted is the different camera exposure for every room When rendering with Cycles, Try to only turn on the lights of the spaces that are actually visible on the renders. Especially the sunlight’s quality will be much more noisy when many lights are turned on.

Originality

The complete structure, all elements and garden design is originally designed and modelled by me.

Eevee

This scene is designed and optimized around Eevee. all the lighting and reflections are baked in by using a irradiance volume and reflection cubes. This engine is perfect to make animations that are rendered quick. Every new asset added to this scene will automatically adopt the lighting and reflections.

Scene setup

Objects are named and grouped into categories, so they can be easily hidden/unhidden All objects are easily movable, and objects like interior doors have the pivot point on the hinges.

Other engines/software

It’s possible to use this in other engines as well but for optimization reasons some materials use the same colormap but with a HUE node connected to them. So for other software, some textures need to be replaced or it's HUE edited in the game engine or photo editing software.

Some materials like the pool water and canvas arts are procedurally generated and need to be replaced by alternative sources your preferred software.

The 3D grass is a particle system and can't be exported from Blender.

Use cases:

(commercial/monetized) Examples for this scene can be used for: Game / Environment design, VR, AR and other realtime apps. Research, Interior and exterior renders, Greenscreen, Animation, advertisement, Education, presentations, Design study, Film scene

Feel free to use the assets in and around this house for projects as well.

Materials

This project uses high quality PBR materials.
