Does everybody learn 3ds Max using the Barcelona Pavillion? I guess that animation won’t be going in my portfolio after all.

Latest TLDBlog post is on medicinal herbs in the healing garden: http://tldb.blogspot.com.

I know several who have taken his Color Mastery workshop and were very favorably impressed.

Has anyone taken Richard Scott’s Sketching on location workshop?

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]

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]

Re Justin and Glass Factory Brownfield conditions.
Is there contamination of anything other than “broken glass” and in what condition would that contaminate be? .. Glass is just another form of sand, I wonder if you could tumble the contaminated ground in something like what they tumble new bricks to make them look old. Smooth off the edges, maybe…[Read more]

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.
