Martin Tomka the key person behind Simartom.com has released T-Gen 2 a tree and plant generator which fully integrated into Softimage XSI. Many Softimage XSI tools are supported to change materials, geometry or hierarchy. Almost all parameters of T-Gen can be animated.

T-Gen 2 features:
New core – On average T-Gen 2 is 3x-4x faster
New Dynamics – you can now use XSI forces to simulate tree and plant dynamics.
New distribution options – new distribution types are random and point distribution.
New noise types – you can now use perlin noise to get more natural look of branches.
Advanced appearance and distribution settings
Node-based tree and plant hierarchy
Multicore support

DVD DESCRIPTION:
In this lecture, Vitaly Bulgarov shows his process of creating a fully rendered 3D design for production-oriented pipelines. Using the example of an alien bust, Vitaly goes through the main steps of creating a sci-fi character design from scratch. He begins by making a quick bust sketch in ZBrush. He then creates a detailed suit design in XSI using the block-out as a guideline for the proportions of the alien bust. By doing this, Vitaly shows the techniques and tools he uses to create complicated surfaces like multi-layered metal plates, rubber pads, tubes, and attachments. Solving design on the fly, without making any preliminary sketches, he builds a fully detailed mesh for the helmet and suit, explaining why certain design decisions are made. Once the model is complete, Vitaly takes it into KeyShot® for raytrace rendering and then brings the renders to Photoshop to finalize the design, push the overall look and bring more personality to the character by adding final textures and detail enhancements.

Convert any mesh to uniform quads, then customise edge flow The software converts geometry to uniform quad or triangle meshes, automatically following the curvature of the geometry and snapping edges to sharp features on the model.

In addition, users can adjust edge flow manually by drawing strokes along which the software should create lines of edges directly onto the surface of the model.

The software can handle point cloud data from 3D scans, and works with very large meshes: the demo above shows a 372-million-triangle mesh being converted to quads in under 10 minutes on a 16-core workstation.

The retopologised geometry can be exported in OBJ format.

We’ll start by breaking down our reference and understanding all the different components that make up the weapon. We’ll then move on to modeling the lower receiver, handle and magazine utilizing an edge modeling workflow. Throughout this entire process, you’ll learn about Blender’s wide range of modeling tools and the vital shortcuts that can speed up your workflow significantly.

Once all the main pieces of the gun are completed, we’ll move onto the various attachments like the red dot sight and the flashlight. As well as learn how we can use Blender’s NURBS path tool to create things like wires, cords and straps. Finally, we’ll learn about the techniques involved for maintaining the look of a hard surface when smoothing it with Blender’s Subdivision Surface modifier.

By the end of this Blender training, you’ll have learned hard surface modeling techniques you can use in your next project.

I found this one particularly beautiful - maybe some members here will, too.

**I'm hoping this isn't already up in some font-pack or another; its difficult to ascertain with some packs where there's no list of included fonts, though I did search quite extensively.

Today's cameras put an amazing amount of power in the hands of amateur photographers, but it's not always easy to make use of it. All those buttons, dials, and settings can be pretty intimidating. In this workshop, expert photographer Joseph Linaschke helps you understand what's going on inside your camera, explaining fundamentals like what an aperture is and how shutter speed works. Learn basics such as how to hold the camera, what various modes mean and when to use them, and even how and when to use the camera's flash. There's also creative instruction to guide you towards becoming a better photographer. As you become more comfortable with your gear, you'll find that many new creative possibilities open up for you and the quality of your photography improves.

Topics include:
•Carry and hold that DSLR like a pro
•Stabilizing the camera: from hands to water glasses to tripods
•Using aperture, shutter speed, and ISO
•What the buttons do
•Manually controlling your autofocus
•Working with flash
•Thinking creatively
•Buying new gear

Bentley ContextCapture Center 4.0 | 181.9 mb

Acute3D, a Bentley Systems company, has released 4.0 version of ContextCapture Center, its a new solution developed on the basis of the former Smart3DCapture technology, a software solution allowing to produce high resolution 3D models from simple photographs, without any human intervention.

The principle of ContextCapture is to analyze several photographs of a static subject, taken from different viewpoints, and to automatically detect pixels corresponding to a same physical point. From many such correspondences, relative orientations of photos and accurate 3D shape of the scene can be inferred.

ContextCapture solves this problem with cutting edge photogrammetry, computer vision and computational geometry algorithms fulfilling industrial-quality requirements in terms of precision, scalability, efficiency, usage, robustness and interoperability.

Twinmotion is a realtime visualization and 3D immersion software dedicated
to architecture, urban planning and territories.

THIS IS A New fix:

Note: This patch/fix will require you to perform a step for it to work properly. This is not a "universal"/"one size fits all" type of hack. Pay very careful attention to the instructions in the readme.txt file and all should be fine.

Tested on Windoze 7 only...not sure if it will work with the newer versions.
