 Today is the 256th day of the year - that makes it Programmer's Day. Programmer's day is a 'holiday' on the 256th day of the year celebrated mostly by computer programmers (reason: 256 = 2 to the power of 8 = the number of values representable in a byte of data). Traditions include drinking, behaving silly, playing Demo Ball, coding silly programs, mini computer games, playing with old computers, etc. That, of course, includes the condition that the developer who chooses to celebrate, needs to have done decent coding on all the other days and had tried the best not to behave silly on the other days. For those programmers who are used to the 'celebrations' in their every day lives, this 'holiday' becomes unjustified! Programmer's day usually falls on September 13th; on leap years, it is September 12th. Comments (1) | Views: 1872

 With FSM, you can say good bye to those post-production editing woes since the sound effects are always integrated with your animation. Timing is taken care of automatically, as is randomization of sound events (footsteps for example). When your client wants the camera angle to change or the timing of the animation to change, FSM will effortlessly regenerate the audio to reflect the changes. For most animations, rendering time is only a few seconds!

 Pixar Animation Studios today announced the release of its Academy Award® winning RenderMan Pro Server version 13.5 software, together with a new licensing policy greatly increasing throughput on multi-processor computers.
Described by beta testers as one of the most significant RenderMan releases ever, RenderMan Pro Server 13.5 is optimized for batch rendering at the highest levels of performance, memory, and systems efficiency. Among the many new features are stereo rendering from a multitude of camera viewpoints in far less time than it takes to render frames in multiple-passes, new shader authoring techniques including shader objects, co-shaders, resizable arrays, and enhancements to point cloud controlled photon emission and scattering that facilitate photon mapping for a wide variety of light sources and surfaces.
