Low and Cheap PCs

sponser — Sun, 08 Apr 2012 15:57:13 +0000

Personal Computer have changed the people life. And every person have a PC in their home in a normal family. And my opinion every one need a PC. But due the the huge amount of use of the energy due to the Computer in huge sector, the energy consumed is growing day by day. And there must be some solution to this problem. If the huge computer can be made to work in low power available then we can managed the energy saving and bring a revolution in the world.

A company has invented cheap pcs so that people can enjoy the low power consumption at low price. Its just not about the low price as power consumption directly effect you electricity bills and helps energy saving.

Its not just about the power consumption, but they are also the cheapest found on market. If people are really concious about the energy and the money then, I suggest people surely should get a one. I have order a piece for myself, as every good things should be started from ownself.

Save energy, Save world – Go green.

Keyshot 3.1 released

nnnaaarrr — Mon, 12 Mar 2012 15:24:37 +0000

An absolutely stunning and very unique metallic paint material, an interactive Environment Editor that allows real-time editing of the lighting environments and new material templates that allow you to quickly ‘auto-paint’ your models on import. Add to that network rendering to queue render jobs and spread them across multiple computers and a few other tid-bits and you’ve got one vicious piece of software to crank out amazing images.

Keyshot 3.1 fetures:

Metallic paint- includes the option to render realistic metallic flakes. These can be added to the material by using the two new parameters shown in the box below. Easily control flake size and visibility with simple sliders – all in realtime.
Material templates- allow users to automatically assign materials to any model on import. For example, if a shiny plastic is used on several products KeyShot can be customized to automatically assign a shiny plastic to all parts that include the name “shiny plastic.”
Improved texture mapping- The manipulator will now correspond with the center of the projection. This will be particularly helpful for mapping labels and textures around cylindrical objects
3Dconnexion certification- KeyShot 3.1 will be officially certified to work with all 3Dconnexion devices
Network Rendering – Network rendering is now available with KeyShot 3. This much more robust version introduces an installer, a queue with manageable jobs and the ability dynamically add or remove slaves from the network even while jobs are being processed. Animations and stills can be rendered using any of the KeyShot 3 render output modes
Maya Importer – Maya scenes can now be directly imported into KeyShot. All hierarchy, material assignments and names will be retained. NURBS surfaces are supported and will be tessellated on import.

Rhino 5.0 90-Day Evaluation (2011-11-08)

nnnaaarrr — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 14:38:44 +0000

Such a long time …

This fully functional version is the same as the commercial version for the first 90 days after installation. After that it is still fully functional, except it will not save, and will not load plug-ins. It will still work great to learn Rhino and as a viewer for Rhino and many other file formats.

RhinoAir 3.0 released

nnnaaarrr — Tue, 07 Dec 2010 15:52:32 +0000

Try this version of RhinoAir, you can easily render pic like this, and you’ll soon get to love it.

——————————————————————————-

The RhinoAir plugin enables Rhino users to quickly start rendering using familiar Rhino materials and lights while providing easy access to Air’s advanced features.

RhinoAir brings full scene interactive shading and lighting to Rhino with the aid of TweakAir. View lighting and material changes as you make them in a high-quality interactive preview.

With BakeAir, RhinoAir allows shading in a scene to be rendered or “baked” to texture maps. Baked maps can used as textures for realtime rendering in Rhino or with an exported VRML file.

What’s New in RhinoAir 3.0

64-bit version for Rhino 5

Stereo rendering

Caustics

Custom area light shapes

Export outlines as vectors (in SVG format)

Faster scene export

Illustration with Rhino and Air

Micha Mehnert used the RhinoAir plug-in to render with Air from within Rhino. Many of these rendering styles are available as a single-click button on the RhinoAir Illustration toolbar.

Features:

Rendering

Once the plugin and toolbars are installed, rendering is simple as selecting a button from the Air Render toolbar:

The toolbar includes buttons for one-click global illumination, ambient occlusion, and outline rendering. Each feature can be configured using a page in the Rhino document properties dialog.

Robust Support for Geometric Primitives

Air renders NURB surfaces directly. No pre-meshing in Rhino is required. Of course if you need to render polymeshes or would like to use a mesh to render a NURB surface, Air efficiently renders polygons as well. Air renders smooth curves, dimensions, and text as true 3D entities with full anti-aliasing. Air offers additional primitives not available in other renderers including subdivision surfaces, blobbies and volume primitives.

Materials

The RhinoAir plugin translates existing Rhino materials for rendering with Air, allowing you to start rendering with your existing materials immediately.

For more advanced materials, use any of the more than 60 surface and displacement shaders included with Air to produce a wide range of material appearances. (No programming required.) Edit and preview materials right inside the regular Rhino properties dialog.

For users wishing to create custom shaders, Air includes the Vshade shader creation tool for easily constructing shaders by connecting predesigned blocks.

Displacement

True render-time, sub-pixel, micro-polygon displacement is supported. Displacement patterns can come from a texture map or be generated by a procedural shader.

Rapid Prototyping

Displacement can be used to apply complex textures to surfaces, and the resulting displaced surfaces can be saved as meshes for manufacturing.

Global Illumination

Easy-to-use global illumination effects from true indirect lighting with color bleeding or fast ambient occlusion. GI and occlusion caches can be saved to a file and re-used to accelerate re-rendering.

Lighting

All standard Rhino light types are supported, including linear lights and rectangular area lights, with per-light control over shadow blur and sampling for soft shadows.

Illustration

The Air Illustration toolbar has buttons for one-click rendering in different styles without scene modification. Sample images.

DarkTree Shaders

In addition to Air’s extensive shader library, use any of the 300+ advanced procedural DarkTree shaders available from Darkling Simulations.

Flexible Output

Save multiple output values from a single rendering for later compositing, at 8-bit, 16-bit, or floating-point precision. Render standard passes (diffuse, specular, reflections, etc) to a multilayer PSD or EXR file ready for tweaking in your favorite 2D paint program.

Distributed Rendering

Multiple machines can be used to render a single image (a separate Air license is required for each machine).

Subsurface Scattering

Depth of Field

Bongo and View-based Animation

Render Bongo animations with Air straight from Rhino. The RhinoAir plugin also has integrated support for basic turntable, fly-through, and camera path animation. Animated frames render as a separate process, allowing you to continue to work in Rhino while rendering.

Other features

Most scene and object properties for AIR are scriptable via commands included in the plugin. The plugin does not use the Rhino RDK, and it should be compatible with other renderers you may already have installed.
