Let’s take a closer look at the VRayMtl, VRayFastSSS2, and VRayBlendMtl. These 3 are the main material types that are essential for realistic results, you can achieve almost anything with them. VRay offers even more material types, but those are meant for pretty specific tasks and will not be covered in this guide. Forget about using MAX Standard materials, they will give you slow, noisy and non-realistic results.

Breaking Into .NET (from scratch) Lately I've had a few people approach me after speaking engagements or conferences and ask for some advice on becoming a .NET developer.

Breaking Into .NET (from scratch)

Sometimes this has been moving into IT from an unrelated field or other times it's just been a transition of existing development skills into .NET. Now if you have been in this industry for awhile (and had any success) you have apparently demonstrated at least some capability to migrate your skills from one newly released technology to the next. In 2009 it's hard to remember an environment where we, as an industry, weren't in constant "learning mode".

I've done my best to embrace the changes and keep challenging myself to keep learning more and more about technologies I find interesting. Links - apomechanes. Vray Materials Tutorial - VISCORBEL. Open source / 64-bit / ray marcher. Designcoding. D-shape Canada. The D-Shape is a large-scale 3D Printer that deposits a liquid binder onto a powder bed made of a solid reactant and aggregate.

Layer by layer, a 3D model can be converted into a solid object with no limitation except your own imagination. We can use local materials (crushed rock, sand, gravel) or recycled material (shredded tire or leftover plant matter) to craft a piece with unique texture and colour.The D-Shape is a sustainable technology – whatever unused material can be used again to craft unique and organic designs.

Before printing, a 3D model must be broken down into discreet layers in a computer program and determine where and how much structural ink should be sprayed. When running, a printer ‘head’of 300 nozzles at 20 mm intervals runs the entire length of the x axis. A single print layer is made of several passes interlaced together. The physical characteristics of the printed material are comparable to the stone that the raw inputs are derived from.

Landscape Design. The Emergent System. The concept of emergence seems to be cropping up everywhere one turns these days.

The Emergent System

The term is used to describe not only new events in organized religion, as described in the book I reviewed last week, but many other examples of otherwise unexplained behavior in the social sciences, such as dynamics in financial markets. Emergent properties are collective properties, which means they are properties of collections, not properties of individual parts. The cause can often be traced back to the interactions between the parts of which a system is made.

Often the nature of those interactions is more important than the identity of the parts. Thus, flocking behaviors are observed in systems composed of insects, birds or even people, as seen in the accompanying photo. The term "emergence" has been around for awhile and can be traced back to systems theory. In this seminal article, Anderson wrote: So far, our understanding of emergent behavior is only partial.

Intro to L-systems. An LSystem is a parallel string rewriting system.

Intro to L-systems

A string rewriting system consists of an initial string, called the seed, and a set of rules for specifying how the symbols in a string are rewritten as (replaced by) strings. Let’s have a look at a simple LSystem: seed: Arules: Rule #1: A = ABRule #2: B = BA The LSystem starts with the seed ‘A’ and iteratively rewrites that string using the production rules. On each iteration a new string/word is derived. n is the derivation length = the number of iterations n=0: A n=1: AB (A becomes AB according to Rule #1) n=2: ABBA (A becomes AB according to Rule #1, while B becomes BA according to Rule #2.
