    9 May 2012 | 9:17 am
    Over the last few weeks we have been looking at ESRI's CityEngine and how it can be used to create rapid urban scenes. As we noted it moves GIS visualisation a step forward while at the same time bringing procedural city modelling into the mainstream game engine world. Of course the heart of the CityEngine is the ability to import real world data but to get to grips with the interface it is sometimes easier to look at creating urban scenes from simple procedural rules. As part of the MRes in Advanced in Spatial Analysis and Visualisation, here in CASA we have been looking at…

    I’m sure you’ve all been at the point where you’re trying to decide what detail to model and what detail to leave out. Should I model the five layers of paneling, plate and paint flakes?

  • A Year Of Tickets

    It's a Wiccan Life
    15 May 2012 | 12:06 am
    Hello and Merry Meet!!! Last year, (2011), I decided to keep ALL of my movie tickets so that I could see how many times I went to the theater to see a show. Well I went a total of 12 times and saw 11 different movies, (I saw Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II two times). However I didn’t spend that much money at the movies because my friend gets tickets for her and a guest to see the movie for free. So sometimes I don’t have to pay and then sometimes my sister and I spilt the cost of the movie when our friend uses the pass for us. In return we buy her a drink or we…

I presented the results to my professor inside Maya with some basic geometry to show the matchmove was solid. They insisted on me minimizing camera shake/jitter. They told me to stabilize the footage before matchmoving. I have tried "remove jitter" in nuke with a tracker but the results make the plate seem like its warping a bit in certain areas to compensate. Now question is, I bring this into a matchmoving software like PFTrack to re-solve. Won't…

The best part is, it doesn't require annual upgrade or subscription fees.  I'm sure Autodesk will try to find a way to stop this new company from releasing their technology.  This looks like a huge competitor to AutoCAD. Remember, as always, no architects were harmed in the making of this video.

    10 May 2012 | 11:43 pm
    Sometimes projects don’t demand full surveys. One instance maybe the replacement of a water line. In that case the survey information for the entire roadway may be overkill and only spot elevations above the pipe may be required. There are three ways available of accomplishing this task. Way 1 The first step is to create a feature line representing the survey shots of the survey (Pg. 613, of Mastering Civil 3D 2012). This line may then be offset to either side of the original (Pg. 616, of Mastering Civil 3D 2012). The feature lines may then be added to a surface as breaklines (Pg. 122, of…

The problem is caused by the Surface Link not being abled to use points to determine the start and end point of the links. Instead you provide the Start and End X values. You can do this via a Points X value or Offset Targets. When you attempt to create a shape, it won’t work. It won’t work because SAC doesn’t think the points connect, even if they have the same X, Y values. In order to fix this you…

    Fujitsu is developing a new adapter that can be covert any mobile phone into a 3D camera. Fujitsu's idea is to use two mirrors that send two different images to the phone's camera sensor. You will then have to send the resulting image (which reduces the resolution by 75%, by the way) to Fujitsu which will apply some image processing in order to turn it into a proper 3D image. read more

    The Communications Research Centre of Canada is showing a new research that involves projecting a 3D image into a curved screen. They say that this provides a better 3D image, and indeed reports suggest that the curved display enables a more immersive experience: but only if the 3D objects are positions on the near-horizontal portion of the screen. This may be useful for video conferencing in particular. The setup on display used a regular Optoma 3D projector that uses active glasses. read more

     Raytrix (kiel, Germany) offers a lightfield plenoptic camera able to shot objects in 3D with a single lens. Or should we say 20,000 lenses? In fact, a plenoptic camera hides many very tiny lenses behind a single large one. And the process that collects information from those tiny micro-cameras is clever enough to reconstruct the whole scene in 3D. Of course, a very large number crunching engine is required behind the sensor to produce a usable 3D representation. This engine is usually based on Nvidia GPU processors.

  • Unreal Engine 3 Handles 3D Stereo

    14 May 2012 | 2:42 pm
    Unreal Engine 3 licensees now have access to RealD's stereoscopic 3D technology for their games, now that the middleware developer has joined Epic Games' Integrated Partners Program. Studios could previously implement stereoscopic 3D in their games with UE3 using TrioViz, but that solution used a different method that worked with a title's existing three-dimensional graphics information to determine depth-of-field, geometry volume, and position while displaying a scene. RealD's Game Developer Toolkit manages camera separation and 3D depth effects in real-time, using features like…

  • Miron, King of 3D Animated Gifs

    14 May 2012 | 1:33 pm
    Yuriy Mironoff (Kiev, Ukraine) is an artist with a 3D oriented brain. He is animator, artist, illustrator and one his passions is drawing animated images with a 3D stereoscopic depth effect rendered by a fast alternance of two slightly different pictures. This technique is also known as 'Wiggle' and is used to give some depth feeling to images without requiring any special kind of glasses.

  • A Developer’s Perspective on Agile

    Eric
    9 May 2012 | 11:06 am
    Gregg and Stefanie have described some management perspective on Agile programming.  As a participant in several of the team rooms they mentioned, I would like to make a few comments.Likes:            Active involvement with customers:  the more the developers know about what end users will want, the better.Emphasis on refactoring: rearranging code to avoid duplication while adding capabilities is critical for any developer.Retrospective: with any important activity it is important to take some time to think about what you are…

  • Subtleties of B-rep Translation (Part 2); Why Form Matters

    Gregg
    4 May 2012 | 9:47 am
    'Form' in mathematics manifests itself in all manners of perspective and discussion. From your earliest mathematics courses, professors drilled home the discipline; “return all answers in simplest form”. My youthful efforts to dismiss the need yielded discussions as such; “OK, please graph this equation: " . In a quick second I would naively suggest that at x = -1 the equation is undefined and then I would start plotting points. But alas, this is why form is important.  gets factored to  which is simplified to   to x - 1, whenever x isn’t…

  • Everything You Wanted To Know About Scanning But Were Afraid To Ask

    John S.
    27 Apr 2012 | 10:22 am
    For this post, I thought I would talk about SPAR 2012, which I attended in Houston last week.   For those of you where are not familiar with it, SPAR is a conference/trade show for the medium and long-range scanning industries.  From a geometry perspective, this means dealing with point clouds.  Lots of point clouds.  Lots of really big point clouds.  For example, at one of the talks I attended, the speaker was discussing dealing with thousands of terabytes of data.  Another speaker discussed the fact that developing the systems just to manage and…

  • How to Train Eight People Without a Trainer

    Stefanie
    17 Apr 2012 | 5:50 am
    John's recent post on documentation and behavior driven development reminded me of an interesting experience I had last fall in developing training documentation.  Our annual 3D Insiders' Summit (early bird registration is now open, by the way. We hope to see you there!) always gives the sales team a rare opportunity to come together from around the world in one geographic location with a large chunk of the development team.  We decided to take the time to have some introductory CGM training for the TAMs (Technical Account Managers), and through the process of elimination, I somehow…

  • Subtleties of B-rep Translation (Part 1); Why Sharing Matters

    Gregg
    5 Apr 2012 | 10:56 am
    In my last post, I introduced our idea of B-rep Health and the notion of "legal" but bad B-rep modeling data. Literally, the day after publishing that post, a beautiful, classic case came into development where a "remove face" operation failed due to unhealthy B-rep data. And again, as we see so many times, the culprit was bad translation (unknown third party translator). It’s a nice example. But it’s not that the pathology can be described so conceptually (it can - you will see), more, it shows the subtle, implicit information that is maintained inside a B-rep data structure; information…

  • What? A 3D Printing Vending Machine at Virginia Tech!

    mark
    15 May 2012 | 9:07 am
    At universities across the country, you’ll find soda and snack vending machines in the hallways of higher learning. I wouldn’t doubt you might also find some machines selling beer. But, here’s something different: in the lobby of Virginia Tech’s College of Engineering, they’ve got a vending machine that is one of the coolest things I’ve seen: it delivers creations, 3D printed ones. It’s called the DreamVendor, a mysterious sounding name, which actually pretty accurately describes it. It’s a one-of-a-kind, interactive 3D printing station to…

    The wild and crazy Makerbot team has been hard at work with a 3D printed “Robot Petting Zoo.” The design team used the Makerbot Replicator to create a series of robots, complete with working electronics, sensors and motors so they can scurry about on your floor. Damn cute little things. If you’d like to see Spherebot, Wheelie, Bonus Bugbot, Bubblebot and their friends live, head over to the San Mateo Maker Faire, May 19-20. Source: Makerbot

  • Autodesk 123D Catch for the iPad makes 3D models from your photos

    13 May 2012 | 4:51 pm
    You may have heard of Autodesk’s incredible 123D Catch program that turns your still photos into accurate 3D models. But if you’re a Apple user, you’ve been out of luck since it was only available on the PC and more recently as a web app. But now comes great news for Apple aficionados: like any self-respecting app these days, it now works on the iPad as well (iPad 2 or higher). Just like the PC and cloud version, the app is free. All you need to do is first create a free account at Autodesk. You’ll be able to download 123D Catch for the iPad on the iTunes store. In…

  • B9Creator resin-based 3D printer funded in a day

    mark
    11 May 2012 | 1:39 pm
    Kickstarter might want to think about remaining their site to Kickstart3Dprojects, because yet another 3D printer project debuted on Kickstarter. The enthusiasm is not running out for 3D printers on the crowdfunding sites, as this one met its funding goal of $50,000 in just 24 hours. As of this writing, Michael Joyce’s B9Creator has received pledges of about $85,000. The B9Creator is another resin-based 3D printer, the same technology as the popular resin-based 3D printer by Junior Veloso, still seeking funding on Indiegogo. (Veloso’s 3D printer still needs almost $200,000, a…

  • The (3D Printing) Force is with Disney

    11 May 2012 | 9:43 am
    Disney has always been on the forefront of new technology, whether it be for rides in their amusement parks or effects and animation in their movies. And now they are embracing 3D printing as well. For this year’s Star Wars Weekends opening May 18, Disney World will offer to 3D scan and 3D print visitors to the park, and place their faces into a Hans Solo style figurine. They call this the Carbon-Freeze Me experience, which is part of our “D-Tech Me” line that uses technology to take personalization to a whole new level. At the Carbon-Freezing Chamber, multiple cameras will capture…
