Free 3D application

Found this very cool looking 3D modelling and rendering application. It is known as 4D Blue. The interface is the nice, conventional 4 view which is just what I like.

You can download the program from 4Dblue.com.

Non-office bound job profiles

simpc — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 03:15:58 +0000

Not all jobs are office and desk bounded. For one, a lifeguard is not. The office is the beach and the swimming pool to him.

To the groundsman, the sport complex or facility is the office. These 2 types of jobs are suitable for those who love sports and physical-based activities.

Of course, there are more types of non office-bounded jobs.

Free Hardware assisted renderer

simpc — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 13:07:22 +0000

Gelato is a hardware GPU renderer by Nvidia. It comes in 2 versions. One Pro, the other is free. It should be a very useful tool for 3D rendering and animating professionals.

There are more info on it on the Nvidia site. There are some specifications for its usage and license. The rendering on their site seems quite impressive, although I must admit that I have yet to use the software.

For more info, check it out here.

Cool 3d organic modeller

simpc — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 15:03:49 +0000

Found a cool 3D organic modeller. The best thing is that it is free.

This software is known as Shapeshop. It is not the most accurate of modellers…but it is almost like modelling with clay. .. and it is fun. I have only been play around with it for a while, so I can get much of a review. Nevertheless, it is quite easy to play around with.

Your can get the software here.

This software is however not good for building geometrical structures such as an oil rig 3D model.

What is HDR or HDRI maps?

simpc — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 08:13:00 +0000

HDR or High Dynamic Range image is one of the latest technology in 3D computer graphics.

It has been widely used to create very realistic 3D renderings.

Many 3D programs support this format of HDR. Lightwave, 3D Studio Max and Maya all support this format.

Basically, it allows a wider range of colour tones to be rendered in 3D computer graphics. This results in images with very high photorealism.
