Hello!
My name is Matúš, I am a Slovak student of Architecture and freelance visualiser. I started this blog in the summer ’09 with just a few 3D models done by me. After some time, tens of people from all around the world joined me and supported me with their 3D stuff. Thanks a lot to all of these fans, You are doing great work!
FlyingArchitecture is not just a “download server” with hundreds of free 3d models, this is also a communication hub for all 3d artists, so feel free to ask anything right under every 3D model, or tutorial. I’ll do my best to reply to You as soon as possible :)
If you have any questions, suggestions, ideas or information which might be helpful or interesting, or you just want to stop by and say “thanks,” You can do it right here :) Thanks a lot for your help to build this awesome community! I really appreciate the time You spend on this website.
Hi!
I would like to tell you that I enjoy this website very much; its practically a dream website for rhino enthusiast especially architecture students. Thank you for all your hardwork.
Kind regards,
Amy Izhar
Thanks for Your kind words, Amy! I am happy I am helpful!

Dear Matúš,
First of all congratulations for your spectacular website. I recommend it to my students all the time.
My name is Diego, and my enterprise is Controlmad, a Rhino Fab Lab in Madrid (Spain).
We are promoting an international course and would be interested in advertising at you web.
I understand that ‘Right side bars’ are not available at this moment.
What about ‘website header’. For testing if it works, could we choose for example to have a first budget of about 50dollars? And if it is working, to go on with the campain?
Best,
Diego.
Hello Diego,
Thank You for Your nice words.
Regarding the advertisement: If You are interested, I can create a new ad place for You – please contact me via email: studio@flyingarchitecture.com – we can talk about it a bit more.

Dobrý deň, v prvom rade by som chcela povedať že táto stránka mi veľmi pomáha pri mojej práci v Rhine. Je naozaj skvelá. Ako renderovací program mám Brazil, tak sa trosku trápim. Veľmi by som chcela sa naučiť v Rhine urobiť koberec. Preto sa chcem spýtať či náhodou neplánujete sem hodiť nejaký tutoriál alebo 3D model koberca. Hľadala som aj stránky na ktorých sa dajú modely kupovať, ale zatiaľ som nenarazila na žiadnu pre Rhino modely. Nevedeli by ste mi poradiť? Veľmi by mi to pomohlo.
Ďakujem veľmi pekne
prajem príjemný deň
s pozdravom Katarína
Dobrý deň Vám prajem, Katarína.
Som rád, že FlyingArchitecture je nápomocným pri Vašej práci, veľmi ma to teší. A určite i celú komunitu združenú okolo tohto webu.
Verím, že sa trápite… Brazil nie je ideálny render engine, takže dosiahnuť s ním výsledkov, ktoré vidíte na našich stránkach, je veľmi obtiažne… ba až nemožné. Odporučil by som V-Ray, ktorý je síce náročneješí ako Brazil, ale zato jeho výstupy sú neporovnateľne lepšie…
Ale späť k Vášmu problému – práve dnes som pol dňa riešil problematiku kobercov pre svoju vizualizáciu. Rovno k veci: Máte dve možnosti – buďto použijete textúru na planar surface s displacementom, alebo si vytvoríte geometriu – v prípade dlhých chlpov na koberci. Textúra nie je problematická, musíte mať však dobré skúsensoti s Photoshopom, aby sa dala extrahovať kvalitná diffuse, bump a displacement mapa z fotky na koberec.
Geometria Vám samozrejme dá neuveriteľne realistický výsledok, kde môžete mať vymodelované všetky chlpy koberca, ale na to Vám bude treba V-Ray a jeho systém Proxy…
Tutoriál by som samozrejme urobil rád, ale na pláne ich mám toľko, že neviem s čím skôr začať, a hlavne neviem kedy… mám toho skutočne veľa.
Ak by ste mali ďalšie otázky a potrebovali by ste radu – kľudne napíšte do nášho fóra, kde je veľa šikovných grafikov, ktorí sú v Rhine ako doma. (Použite ale prosím angličtinu)
Ďakujem Vám za pochopenie,
Prajem príjmený deň.
Matúš.
Hey,
I’ve been following your site for a while now and I must say, I really like the stuff you’ve been posting recently. I’m definitely a big architecture guy myself so I can appreciate the work you put into the site.
Needless to say, I’m interested in what you’re doing with flyingarchitecture.
I’m writing to you because I not only like what you’re doing with the site, but also because I think I can help to add value. I’d really like to chat more about this opportunity, so please write me back when you get the chance!
Thanks,
-Tim

Hi Matus,
I’d like to thank you for all starting flying architecture, it is a godsend to architecture students (especially me). I wish you all the best with keeping the website and I’m sure your thousands of followers around the world will continue to support you!
I was wondering if you happen to have any Rhino 3d models for shipping containers? It would be such a help as I am doing a modular housing project at the moment :)
Thanks again!
Charlotte
Sorry for a late reply… however, I don’t have any shipping containers in my repository …
I hope You finished Your school work successfully :)
Have a nice day!
Great Work Matúš and perfect place to talk about Rhino lots of ppl dosnt even know Rhino and all sites are only talking about Max and fighting other Programs suck as Rhino So thank u and for all your team works and i might send few models of my works few designed by me and other by students and designers
Abdul.Baradi

Hello Matus!
I’ve been following your amazing work here and I must say : your work is incredible!
I’m also a student of architecture (from France) and I’m looking for a new computer to be able to do renderings and graphic design for my projects of architecture.
I’m currently working on a MacBook Pro 13′ so I’m desperately looking for a really good and fast computer.
May I ask you which computer do you use when you do renderings whith Rhino+ Vray and for your photoshop work etc. ?
Thank you very much for your help, I’m really bad at choosing computers! By the way, I dont really care if it’s from Apple or Windows!
Thanks,
Karine
Hi.First of all – Thank You.
We usually talk about these questions in our Forum… You can get there very useful advice ;)
My latest PC config: http://forum.flyingarchitecture.com/forum-thread.php?id=61#4082
Btw I am PC-only guy, so I just assembled my computer as I needed.
Looking forward to talk to You in the forums!
Matus
hello, maybe you can help me! i am searching a v-ray 1.0 for rhino 4 , but i cant find it nowthere. maybe you have a version of the old and can help me
best regards from germany
Hi Matus,
I wanted to join your forum already several times in the last weeks, but I have problems to register. I never come through the step 1/4. Can you help me?
Best regards
Magdalena
Sure, just sent You an email.
Hi Matus,
Thank you for putting up such a great site. I’d like to share some of my own 3d models, they’re not much.
More power!
Alvin
Thanks a lot :) feel free to share them via email, it should be the best way :)
Matus
Hello, I’, writing because I have the opportunity to see your work “Family House In Slovakia”, it’s a great piece and I want to publish it at my blog:
http://solo3d.wordpress.com/
If you agree I usually ask a few extras to the author, this of course is not an obligation, I can only post the original picture but as you can see on the site I usually try to add something more to each post, this can be mesh pics, WIP stills, clay renderings or some other view of the same work. This, together with a description, as long or as short as you like, of the work.
I really hope you let me share it Because it’s an amazing work, thanks in advance.
Regards
Javier Diaz
Hello Javier
Sure, Just let me know at studio@flyingarchitecture.com so we keep the conversation in emails ;)
Hello Matus.
I have been watching your site for some time now an d one thing is for sure. You have done great work. I was wondering about the workshops, have you ever considered doing one in Greece?
About these workshops you are arranging, does the participant have to know about Rhino, or even a beginner can attend them?
It doesn’t matter what is the level of people, I can manage the workshop in any way. This one, in Rome 2012, will be for beginners in Rhino – 2 days of Rhino courses followed by another 4 days of V-Ray and PS.
In general, I am able to do it vice-versa and do more modeling than rendering…
And sure, Greece sounds very interesting as well. But before that one I think I’ll make one workshop in here, Czech Republic with some free-time activities during the week.
hello Matus,
congratulations for your models and renders.
which program do you use for realize your renders?
i work with rhino and maxwell but i have not the same your quality final result.
very very beautifull works!!!
Hi, thanks a lot.
I use Rhino in combination with V-Ray.
Hello and thank you very much for an amazing site and its imense possibilites.
I’m working in a book for Descriptive Geometry teaching in portuguese high schools, and being a Rhinoceros fan and user, I’m planning to use some images of 3d models of mine, but also, if possible, from other sources. So my question is that if it would be ok for you if I would use some of your models for this purpose, never forgetting (this goes without saying) to mention its source, of course.
thank you very much in advance for any reply.
keep up with the excellent work.
Vera Viana (Portuguese Descriptive Geometry Teacher and ART)
Hi, I just sent You an email, just please make sure it doesn’t end up in spam folder..
Have a nice day and good luck with Your book! :)
Matus Nedecky
Hi, When I download your material how do I use it in Rhino because when I go to add it to my material library it doesn’t add a small part of the sample it adds the full globe picture. How do I resolve this so I get just the concrete or wood style for example ?
Thanks.
If You single click on the material, ZIP folder will be downloaded. Inside this ZIP folder, there is the Diffuse texture, which should be used as a Texture in Rhino. Do not use the testball render as a texture…
Dear
Good work, regarding the workshop Rome 5 to 10 – November
When will organize such workshop again to all those who will not be able to register now?
Thanks
Hello, to be honest – I have absolutely no idea now about upcoming events.
But for sure, I will let all FlyingArchitecture fans know in advance as soon as I get any details :)
Ahoj Matuši,
Jsem student FA ČVUT (3. ročník) a zárověn zde učím CADIII a CADIV Rhino. Snažím se aby moji studenti měli co nejkvalitnější výuku a semestr co semestr upgradovanou nebo aktualizovanou. Podkladů není nikdy dost, mnoho vyučujících si svoje know-how nechává pro sebe, proto bych se chtěl nyní v druhé části semestru věnovat přímo simulaci atelierového projektu (model – render – posprodukce). Zaujal mě Tvůj model Flying house – jednoduchý, efektní, pro studenty uchopitelný. Chtěl bych tě proto poprosit, zda by jsi mi jako učební pomůcku mohl poskytnout 2D výkresy, nebo 3DM model onoho objektu. Vím že je to asi dost troufalé, ale byl bych Ti moc vděčný a za mě také další desítky lidí kterým se věnuji.
Děkuji za odpověď, s pozdravem
Daniel Volák
Ahoj Daniel,
Ďakujem za správu. Som nesmierne rád, že FlyingArchitecture je tak nápomocné i pri výuke, nesmierne si toho vážim.
Rovnakú žiadosť mi práve poslal do mailu Tvoj kolega Jakub Hoffmann, kde sa odkázal i na Teba, takže bližšie info k tomuto napíšem do mailu jemu, aby sme to nerozoberali tu v komentároch :)
Ďakujem a prajem pekný zvyšok dňa.
Matúš Nedecký
Hi,
I saw your advertisement for the Architectural visualization workshop in Rome (5-10. November 2012) on your website. I am wondering, is there any way that we can buy the video of the workshop after it will be finished?
Kind Regards,
Hafez
Hi Hafez,
We are not planning to make any educational video, the content is exclusive for workshop participants :)
Thanks for understanding :)
Matus
please i need lessons and v-ray library, thx
I’m working on a new workshop series in Vienna and Barcelona, stay tuned! :)
Hi, Matus
I wanted to say thank you and I do not know how much I benefit from your website.
Very very valuable lessons and jewels you are keeping it on your site.
Thank you for sharing with others!
Best,
C
Thank You, Chansoo :)
Hey, Matus!
Thanks for your reply.
I have a quick question about vray:
1) For texture maps, what image format is good?
2) texture resolutions, how high is high resolution?
(do you have a tip on this? what do you normally keep your texture resolutions at?) One project I am working on, I think I just went very high resolution textures and when I tried rendering, the computer just stopped.
Best,
C
Hi, first of all, we have a forum for questions of any kind ;)
Anyway,
1. JPG
2. depends on the position in the scene and importance of the object. Usually I don’t go under 2000 pix images
Using Rhino 5 + V-Ray 1.5 (both in 64bit) should help You to handle the scene.
Hello! Matus,
Thank you for your quick reply.
I will check out the forum
Best,
C
Hi Matus,
Congrats for all your great work! I want to attend to your workshop in Barcelona. Is this still available?
Hello Georgios!
Yes, we still have some free places :)
Check out http://www.icreatia.com/architectural-visualizations-workshop-academic.html#.URIl3KVEF8F for more info.
You can reserve Your place directly on this page :)
Have a nice day!

Dobrý deň, som úplný začiatočník v rhino3D. Pri dokončení jedného môjho modelu a jeho otexturovaní som nastavil V-Ray podľa návodu a model mi to pekne vyrenderovalo. Problém nastal keď som sa pokúsil renderovať ďalší pohľad modelu vo V-rayi, Rhino3D ihňed spadne. Základný Rhino-render funguje bez problemov. Ak vytvorím iný model, V-Ray renderuje normálne. Všetko som preinštaloval ale nepomohlo. Chcel by som Vás poprosiť, či by ste mi neporadili čo s tým, kde môže byť chyba. Ak by som mal Váš mail pošlem aj model, či nie je chyba v ňom. Vopred ďakujem za odpoveď.
Dobrý deň, môžeme to skúsiť.
Zabaľte model aj s textúrami a pošlite mi ho na email.
Pekný deň.
Podarilo sa vyriešiť. Problém bol v chybne zadanej ceste k texture. Zároveň by som sa chcel ešte spýtať existuje nejaký návod na umiestňovanie stromov do scény, nastavenia vo v-rayi atď. Diky
Bohuzial, o ziadnom konkretnom tutoriale neviem… Momentalne mame ale vo fore cloveka co robi plugin na scatter, tak sa mrkni na ten. Dost pomoze.

Hi Matúš,
I am also an architecture student and I really appreciate the resources that you’ve managed to compile here, thank you. I am currently using Rhino 4.0 and Vray 1.05.29. I can’t upgrade Vray, unfortunately and none of the beautiful materials you have available here won’t work. I’m wondering if you know of a trick to use your materials ?
Thanks,
Hi Sandwich, well, the only trick is to upgrade V-ray… There is no other way. Sorry, I really cannot help in here :(
I subscribed to your newsletter to get the free chair model and have not received the email with the download lick yet…any update on why??
It was just sent ;)
Hello Matus,
I have ordered 3D Car Modeling with Rhinoceros – hardcover two weeks agon, on the 20th of march and it has not arrived yet.
Could you please tell me with which company you have sent it, so i can contact them and ask about the order?
Also a contact number or e-mail could be helpful.
Kind regards,
Alex
Hi Alex, I’ll contact You via email immediately.
hi, I do love the completeness of your website and intent for high quality content. I was wondering if you could offer any sort of quick and dirty (as they say) guide for quick but good-looking conceptual renders?
I went to get my Master’s of architecture degree and really was envious of the guys that did great and emotive renders. but then there is a certain necessity to cheat on elements just for visualization — my studio critic said “hands of an angel, mind of a thief” and I’ve always wanted a fast way to make a beautiful rendering for abstract models — like a kind of white plastic thats dirty?? i think its occlusion rendering. it would be so helpful to the many people making eyesores (including myself) just because we cant do anything else fast but beautiful… I think of marc fornes and theverymany as inspiration! there’s not much to it, but its so sensitive!
Thanks!
zdravim Matus
