 Ozone 3 is a complete and unique solution for creating multi-faceted atmospheres in Lightwave 3D, Cinema4D, 3ds Max, Maya and XSI.
Ozone 3.0 features an elaborate atmosphere engine that does much more than create extremely realistic sky pictures. Ozone’s atmospheres provide an accurately simulated environment that affects all the elements of the scene, and behave according to nature’s rules. The appearance of an object in your scene is directly affected by the position of the sun, the cloud cover, the amount of dust in the air, or the humidity level.

 Amleto has been updated to v3.0.1. Amleto is a network rendering tool (render-farm) that enables to render lightwave animations or single frames across multiple computers. It is intended to be as simple to use and setup as possible. You do not need to know much about networks, instead we use our own file transfer protocol to share files between the computers.
With Amleto you do not need to modify config files, setup shared drives, or install Lightwave on more than one computer. Everything will be done automatically for you.

 Indigo v0.9 Stable Released. Indigo is a free, actively developed, physically-based unbiased render engine.
Employing advanced features such as Metropolis Light Transport, Spectral light calculus, a virtual camera model, physical sky and more, Indigo can achieve much more realistic results than traditional GI raytracers.
Indigo does not need any render parameters like GI samples, AO samples, AA samples, Soft shadows, etc, and complicated lightning setups to achieve realistic results.
Indigo is free for non- and commercial use, but as of writing is not open-source.

 The recent introduction of Microsoft Vista and a slew of other 3D-optimised applications, including Google Maps and Microsoft Office 2007, has redefined customer’s expectations for experiencing visually-rich mainstream applications on their home and business PCs.
As a result, consumers have now made the GPU a primary requirement in their PC purchasing decisions. As the only independent GPU provider, NVIDIA Corporation is well positioned to capitalise on this emerging trend, and is proud to announce that it has extended its family of GeForce 7-Series motherboard graphics processing units (mGPUs) to Intel processor-based PCs. Starting today, GeForce graphics are more affordable and accessible than ever before for Intel customers.

 For a worm that just has to move a bit, simple methods suffi ce: for instance, just using a curve deform and moving the worm on a path is often enough. But if
the worm is a central character, it may need to act:
this means a more elaborate rig to give the animator better control over the mesh, while keeping to the toony `worminess` of our hero.
In this tutorial, we’ll attempt to show you some novel ways
to use a combination of object parenting, constraints and modifiers for rigging in Blender, as we encourage you to think about character set-up in new ways.

 CGChoice winner Jonas Persson tackles a troll as part of his introduction to 3D character modeling.
Introduction:
The picture was made as a school project this spring at "Nackademin Digital Graphics" in Stockholm. It was not only our first individual project but also the first where we could choose subject ourselves. So I decided to do something fun, a troll. At this time I had only studied 3D for about ten months so there was heaps of stuff I didn't know. I think more than half of the time spent on the project was research, and of course a lot of trial and error.Be first to comment this article | Views: 4122 |
