HDR Sky Lighting for Interiors Notes on noise.. For people thinking that the above renders look too noisy for their uses.. then I would just change the noise threshold from 0.01 to something lower. The renders are just for comparison purposes. When I do high res renders, like over 5k, I sometimes even increase the noise threshold to 0.02. I never do animation work so have no experience with having to output super clean renders so please bear that in mind in the comments. Notes on render times All images here were rendered at 1024 x 576 pixels, but on TWO dual xeon workstations. Addendum 1 Someone on twitter asked me to clarify why I prefer the universal version of the HDR sky render over the irradiance map version. Indirect illumination VRay tutorial Hello! We are pleased to share with you a new portion of 3d stuff. Continuing the theme of the correct configuration of V-Ray renderer, in this and the following three tutorials, we look into the second important part of V-Ray settings, the Indirect illumination. This tutorial answers the following questions: - What is the indirect illumination? - How do indirect lighting looks in nature? - How does the global illumination differ from the secondary? - What are the diffuse reflected rays? - How the GI algorithm implemented in computer graphics? - What are the primary bounces and how they differ from the secondary ones? - How the hemispheric diffuse reflections look schematically? - How to setup the GI in Vray on practice? - How the global illumination affects the overall scene lighting? - What is color bleeding and how to fight with it? - What are the GI caustics? - What are the correct values for the primaries and secondaries? Introduction Indirect illumination in nature Why is this happening?
White Balance setup with V-Ray Physical Camera and 3ds Max Here is a detailed tutorial on how to adjust the white balance of a render in V-Ray using features of the Physical Camera. This will allow you to remove any unwanted colour casting from natural lighting such as the sun or artificial lighting such as an incandescent light bulb. The problem In photography, when looking at a photo taken from your camera you may notice that there is a blue or orange tint to it even though to the human eye everything looks normal. The solution White balance was introduced as a method to tell the camera what is white within the frame before taking the photo. Setting up white balance in V-Ray You can use the same techniques used in photography to adjust the white balance in a 3d scene. In the V-ray Physical Camera properties set the white balance to neutral, this is pure white. Note down the RGB value. Switch to the V-Ray Physical Camera. When entering the RGB value into the custom balance it is best to adjust the colour to be brighter.
Optimize Your Pitch: Tips for Design Visualization Long before a building begins to rise, designers find inspiration via visualization. The visualization process allows a designer to contemplate their own work, by taking designs from the mind and putting them in a more tangible form — a project made easy when using Revit and other Autodesk products. The visualization process opens up new possibilities for a designer to evaluate and present his or her ideas, as well as opening up new ways to communicate a designer’s intent. From this, discussions are formed, which further ensure the success and outcome of an envisioned design. Revit’s 3D View is the most obvious way to visualize a given design, as well as the most ideal method in terms of visualizing in-process productions and detailed static renders. Optimize the transition from model to render by correctly using Revit families, categories, and parameters. Since ray tracing uses all available CPU, having a multi-core and dual processor will be beneficial to you. 3ds MAX DESIGN

Gorgeous Vintage and Modern Illustrations from Aldous Huxley’s Only Children’s Book by Maria Popova A brave old world of beautiful art and subtle undertones of misogyny. At Christmas time in 1944, more than a decade after the resounding success of Brave New World Aldous Huxley (July, 26 1894–November 22, 1963) penned his one and only children’s book, The Crows of Pearblossom (public library) — the story of Mr. and Mrs. Crow, whose eggs never hatch because the Rattlesnake living at the base of their tree keeps eating them. After the 297th eaten egg, the hopeful parents set out to kill the snake and enlist the help of their friend, Mr. Like Gertrude Stein’s alphabet book To Do, Sylvia Plath’s children’s verses The Bed Book, and William Faulkner’s The Wishing Tree (also his only book for wee ones), it never saw light of day in Huxley’s lifetime but was published posthumously, in 1967, with stunning black-white-and-green illustrations by Barbara Cooney.

Magok Central Plaza Winning Proposal / Wooridongin Architects Located in the intersection of the pedestrian axis of Festival Street within the heart of Magok city in Seoul, the competition winning proposal by Wooridongin Architects for the Magok Central Plaza weaves itself into the surrounding city. The plaza is a great traffic node since it is where the subway lines 5, 9 and Incheon Airport train cross. Its close location to Han River greenery and ecosystem aligning with the River, Jungang Park and Green Area Connectors makes it to be part of a continuous open space system. More images and architects’ description after the break. To extend the naturalistic flow of the green connecting area that traverse North and South, the pedestrian bridge was placed. The exterior skin on the Pedestrian Bridge is composed of solar panels, glass, green wall, LED lights. These interactive systems promote the communication among people and add more vitality to the plaza.
