they’re all “pretty good” though…

second one from the top is straight cash…

im not sure about artlantis. i have heard good things and bad things… do you have access to any other software? maxwell or 3ds? if not i can ask around, maybe do a google image search or somethin?

Vray’s global illumination and hdr lighting is the best. I never really liked mentalray

Well, I have been away for awhile.
I have been looking at the use of Maya Dynamics to force design.

It is kind of fun but I don’t know if it will go anywhere. Has anyone used
any of the dynamic functions in Maya (Airfield, Gravity, Newtonian field etc)?

There really is no boundary. The goal is to stimulate creativity. If the plastic plant roof has meaning and purpose beyond just looking unique then then i would want to hear about it. I think that what ever we do that is creative must be a mix of art with purpose. A lot of people end up posting cool pictures on Land8, but without explanation they…[Read more]

When in Landscape Architecture out of the Box? What defines the boundry. I can think of a roofscape-with plastic plants-that to me is cearly art not Landscape. Does just being unusual mean out of the box.

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

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?

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.
