 LuxRender is a open source physically correct, unbiased rendering engine developed on the basis of PBRT; an outstanding research project and book by Matt Pharr and Greg Humphreys. LuxRender is totaly Physically Based Render; which means, unlike other popular 3D rendering systems, LuxRender doesn't use tricks to imitate real world behavior : all calculations are done according mathematical models based on the real word. Physically based Unbiased rendering engines offers advantage of very realistic images but at the cost of time; slow due to heavy calculations. Rendering with LuxRender means simulating light according to physical equations, this produces realistic photographic quality images. LuxRender comprises an interactive GUI, a command line tool, and Blender 3D exporter Plugins (LuxBlend). The Lux Source code is also available freely to developer for future integration of LuxRender into third-party applications. LuxRender runs on GNU/Linux, Microsoft's-Windows(R) and MacOS X(R) platforms.Be first to comment this article | Views: 2017 |

 Image Sculpturer is a new application for creating 3d objects from ordinary 2d images. The main difference to other image based modeling tools is that Image Sculpturer does not use an automatic approach for transforming images in 3d space. Instead the main idea of Image Sculpturer is to let the user do this analogous task in a very effective and intuitive fashion because the human is in the interpretation of images unbeatable. As a result Image Sculpturer should be much more flexible than other image-based modeling tools. Be first to comment this article | Views: 2685 |
