http://www.andrewkelsall.com/the-professional-designers-guide-to-using-black/ The aim of this article is to document every conceivable type of black that is destined for print and web. It is my aim that if you are a designer, you can find some information here that you didn’t know―and if you are learning about design, I hope you can educate yourself from this post… ★★★★★ Like this type of article?

The Professional Designer's Guide to using Black | RGB, CMYK, Rich, Cool and Pantone Black

How do i make text black not four colour? | General InDesign Topics | Forum

It is usually a matter of the difference between "looks black" and "is black". If I had a dollar for… nevermind, I digress. You talked about opening in acrobat, removing pictures, converting grayscale, and adding in the pictures. You are right, not only should this be un-needed, but it is also unlikely to work well. It brings up a two points however: First: If there is a color picture on the page that need to be removed, then the page is in color as far as the printer is concerned.

Community: Get rid of ICC profile

http://forums.adobe.com/thread/972652?start=0&tstart=0#4253788 So my first question is: If I save the As, with unchecked "include profile", will the colors in the image remain absolutely the same? Not necessarily. How ID handles placed images with conflicting profiles depends on how you set the Color Setting’s CMYK Color Management Policy when the document was created. If you chose Preserve Embedded then any placed image with a profile that conflicts with your document's profile will get converted to document CMYK when you export.
Simple things matter in the world of 3D modeling and BIM... For the foreseeable future, designers and engineers will be using a variety of different tools to meet their needs so it is important to understand the fundamental differences in the tools. Many questions arose from the past post on how to resolve the differences in the spline interpolation algorithms used between Rhino and Revit. When a user draws an interpolated curve in Rhino, the user specifies the Greville points (or "edit points") to produce a NURBS curve representation.

The program TTO has been developed by Martínez , Martí and Querin . TTO uses the growth method developed by Martínez and Martí which iteratively optimizes plane truss structures for size, geometry and topology without the need of a ground structure. The program optimizes structures with a single load case and with stress and size constraints. A detailed description of the method implemented in TTO can be found in the PhD dissertation of Dr Pedro Jesús Martínez Castejón titled: Simultaneous Optimal Design of Topology and Geometry of Trusses by Growing Techniques (in Spanish, 7093 kB) . http://www.upct.es/~deyc/software/tto.php

Mandelbrot set

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandelbrot_set Initial image of a Mandelbrot set zoom sequence with a continuously coloured environment Mandelbrot animation based on a static number of iterations per pixel The Mandelbrot set is a mathematical set of points whose boundary is a distinctive and easily recognizable two-dimensional fractal shape. The set is closely related to Julia sets (which include similarly complex shapes), and is named after the mathematician Benoit Mandelbrot , who studied and popularized it. Images of the Mandelbrot set are made by sampling complex numbers and determining for each whether the result tends towards infinity when a particular mathematical operation is iterated on it.
http://blog.wolfram.com/2009/09/11/twisted-architecture/ I didn’t set out to tie knots in Norman Foster’s Hearst Tower or wrinkle his Gherkin, but I got carried away. It’s one of the occupational hazards of working with Mathematica . It started with an innocent experiment in lofting, a technique also known as “skinning” that originated in boat-building.

Twisted Architecture

typical_hole_open.png The original data for this project was submitted by Gary Hartman at Sunlit Architecture. The data was good, but had many of the typical problems that i see when trying to convert architecture CAD into 3D printable CAD. Typical issues: The major hurdles of trying to convert architectural CAD into 3D printable CAD are detail tolerances and the generation of a water tight model before export.

Computational fluid dynamics , usually abbreviated as CFD , is a branch of fluid mechanics that uses numerical methods and algorithms to solve and analyze problems that involve fluid flows. Computers are used to perform the calculations required to simulate the interaction of liquids and gases with surfaces defined by boundary conditions . With high-speed supercomputers , better solutions can be achieved. Ongoing research yields software that improves the accuracy and speed of complex simulation scenarios such as transonic or turbulent flows. Initial validation of such software is performed using a wind tunnel with the final validation coming in full-scale testing, e.g. flight tests . [ edit ] Background and history
