Im going to put up a tutorial on creating a barcelona chair. This tutorial helps you understand some really helpful tools in 3ds it is especially helpful for organic forms.. trust me as it deals with the “soft selection” tool. ill try to get it posted within the week. I see that talk has slowed on the comment wall… i should post something…[Read more]

Ok, I am finally appreciating Land8 Lounge! Great work Landon!

Great idea for a group! As I accumulate drawings with each class, I am at a loss of what to do with it all, what is worthy to include in a portfolio and how best to create a portfolio.

As someone who spent years as a contractor before going back to school, i can tell you that often the person you deal with in the office, or the supervisor, isn’t always going to be on site when the plan implementation starts. The few LARs that I worked with back home, made it a point to make sure that all plans were easy to read/understand, or in…[Read more]

For a Landscape Architect to truy be successful as a designer, he has to be able to communicate on the level of the contractor. Not to say that he designs to the level of the contractor, (which we all know contractors are alot like water, they always take the path of least resistance…) I say that coming from alot of years of being a contractor…[Read more]

Catinca, her name is Sheila Taft, and she’s probably in the Seattle, Washington area. Maybe worth looking her up?

Catinca, here’s an interview with a horticultural therapist about therapeutic gardens with some mention of the importance of scent. Alas, no text and so no reference of the evidence she refers to, but if you can catch her name, maybe you can contact her. And please, share what you learn with us!…[Read more]

This site has some great stuff going on- i-park.org And some interesting residencies for LAs/artists

top one is my favorite but the grass on the bottom two is pretty amazing… shows how much you can do if you know what youre doing in photoshop

i was having trouble with 3ds ’08. i got my hands on ’09 and it works fine…

great ideaa..thanks..

I use mental ray as well. I think for rendering perspectives it works pretty well but Brazil seems to be ideal for animations since it shortens the rendering time without sacrificing too much quality.

I tend to use mentalray

I’ll see if I can get a hold of the 64 bit version of Brazil later tonight. My buddy sent me VRay too but there was something wrong with the zip file so I couldn’t get it to work. What’s so great about VRay? He’s also supposed to send RenderMan whatever that is.

VRay is where it is at.

Lee, I would get the 64 bit version if you can. Michael had the same trouble with vista that you are having but figured it out . He might have some answers.

So far I’ve got Brazil but I’m having a little trouble with the work around for the license. I hate Vista. Its supposed to be compatible with most versions of 3d Max so give it a trySplutterfish Brazil RS v1.2.66 for 3ds Max9 (32bit).rar

heck yes! that would be fun.

Lee, get everything you can and then disperse it.
