Great idea for a group!

I’m glad to see someone else interested in SSI! I’m working on a children’s garden project for the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center. We’re designing the project to the preliminary draft SSI credits in hopes to create a sustainable landscape project, test the credits and criteria and eventually hopefully become a pilot project.

Best case situation, buy a blade server and kick your rendering jobs out to it. However, I would have to say that some of the best environs that come out of 3ds start as basic spatial models and are brought to life in post production. Animations are important to get right solely in the program and demand real power. You better have 2 computers or…[Read more]

I know of network rending, and have a vauge idea of how to do it, but I have yet to actually try it out. I’m currently running a laptop with 2G ram, 256Meg GeForce6800 Go Graphics Card, and a 2.17 Pentium Centrino. It isn’t fast, but it gets the job done. The dream rig I was planning before my Fiance’ got laid off was a Intel I7 processor, 32 Gig…[Read more]

I thought this might be helpful for people learning. It is 26 lessons on how to do arch/la visualisation. It looks really good, and goes through the whole process.

oh man, images of the “week” im looking forward to it…

Tomorrow I will be posting images of the week. so everybody get ready to critique.

Thanks Lee, lets see how many we can get everybody.

Here’s some trees I got a couple years back. They’re even labeled which is nice but due to size constraints I can’t send each individual tree already cut out. Just layer use selective color tool in PS and they come up pretty nice

Can we get people to upload as many tree cutouts as possible?

I got a bunch of stuff for max. Onyx TreeStorm which is pretty good though memory intensive depending on the amount of polygons.

Has anybody seen Vray RT the new realtime renderer? Looks really good….

Any luck on venue yet?

Really! Thats cool jobs here though are scarce in our industry but should pick up hopefully by the time “I” graduate lol. But its a cool city I love it here!

it better be!!! i want to move to vegas and work there!!!

Thats exactly what we are doing on the first day there are going to be varios sessions around las vegas so instead of being stuck in a classroom all day you are going to get the chance to see that Vegas you don’t know and at night you’ll see the Vegas that you hear about. I am so excited about this…spread the word this is going to be the best labash ever

What i really liked about the louisiana’s labash is how they showed us around the city. i know that las vegas is going to be nuts! but the first thing i thought about when i heard that las vegas was going to be hosting the LaBash was how can they make it the best thing ever without being a cliche? i loved how everyone was together at least twice a…[Read more]
