I was able to find some irrigation training and I am more confident now. However, I am looking to purchase irrigation design software. What are the best choices out there? Land F/X? IrriCalc? RainCAD? Others?

yep, sure I could contribute! well done Jennifer

I noted Rico listed Ace Torre as an influence. I recently completed an extensive article profiling Torre for next month’s (May 09) issue of Landscape Architecture Magazine. It’s an in-depth look at his design drawing philosophies and techniques, with step by step photos of Torre in the studio creating one of his famous “tilt-up” aerial drawings.

can anybody tell me about artlantis rendering software??

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]

Whilst I am glad you all find the discussion useful – let’s avoid blank statements and overlooking the progress some applications had achieved. Every release of each application brings many new and sometimes very good features. Some of these upgrades make a huge difference and change the appeal of the software.
So for 2D – AutoCAD LT is g…[Read more]

I’ve been using Rhino and just a word of caution, it is primarily an industrial design 3D modeling program and I’ve found that it does not work well for large scale applications. It exceeds in designing small elements, which can then be exported into other programs that work better with land manipulation.

I think this conversation is great…[Read more]

After using AutoCAD for about 12 years of drafting, and then switching over to Vectorworks Landmark, I would say without hesitation that the advantages of working in Vectorworks over AutoCAD are immense. The only reason why I had been using the “industry standard” is because I didn’t seek anything better. Many take their work out of AutoCAD to do…[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.

Has anyone looked at Viz Terra?

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.
