Model a Detailed High Poly Fire Hydrant in 3ds Max
Nov 24th in 3D Art, Autodesk 3Ds Max by Ben Tate
Subdivision modeling is a skill like any other…it is relatively easy to grasp the basics, but it can be extremely difficult to get a handle on the the more advanced techniques. In this two hour long, intermediate/ advanced level modeling tutorial, Ben Tate will demonstrate his process of creating a detailed high-poly fire hydrant using subdivision modeling.
Terragen is a scenery generator, created with the
goal of generating photorealistic landscape
images and animations.

Splash Kit|450 Mb|RS+HF
Make a splash with modo.
If you want to add a splashes, drops and puddles to your next project, the new Splash Kit is designed for you. Compared to the traditional stock imagery approach, the modo 401 Splash Kit gives you virtually total control over how your splashes look. Forget searching for the ?right? stock image. You now have control over liquid shapes, color, lighting and camera position to create one of a kind (and royalty-free) imagery.
The Splash Kit consists of meshes, materials, environments and assemblies ? along with informative video tutorials about their use. The modo assets are all scaled for the real world, facilitating their use alongside other 3D elements in your scene like water pitchers, faucets or any product that you may wish to integrate. Imagine dunking a new waterproof GPS unit into water or dropping a bon bon into a pool of warm chocolate. You can position, scale and modify your own unique splashes from the supplied meshes or adjust one of the fully rigged assemblies to derive the exact shape you need. You can also use modo to replicate the droplets across any surface in your scene to create rain on a windshield, paint blobs on a floor etc. We even include some final scenes that show you how a complete scene is set up to give you a good starting point that can easily be modified with different camera angles and new materials.When you are ready to render out your final images, the extensive use of procedural textures means you can render them at print resolution ? avoiding potential issues that stem from the finite resolution of texture maps.

http://i46.img-dead/u9fo4.jpg
Name: Avid Media Composer v.4.0.3
Release Date: october, 2009
Version: 4.0.3.71
Developer: Avid Technology, Inc.
Platform: PC Win-x32
Compatibility with Vista: complete
Language: English
Tabletka: Present
Size: 1.45 GB
Description:
Avid Media Composer – the preferred choice for top-level professionals involved in the production of film and video production, and for independent producers, and for new post-production. A great tool for creative work: support for tapeless production technologies, work with any format, multikamerny HD editing and much more. The fine combination with the freedom to choose different options for systems of Avid Media Composer, which is best suited to the different projects: from an autonomous system with the software without additional hardware support to a complete hardware-software Avid Media Composer / Avid Digirtal Nonlinear Accelerator (Avid DNA) .
What\’s new in 4 versions:
1. 16 tracks in the audio mixer. (16 tracks in the audio mixer)
Yes, it\’s true. You can finally see as many tracks as you can play. It seems like small thing, but every time I look at that big mixer I get a warm feeling inside.
2. 100 Undos (100 steps to roll back)
This will be a boon to anybody doing visual effects, where you seem to run out of undos all the time. (That\’s because if you change a parameter by hitting the up or down arrow key a few times, every key press is remembered as a separate undo.)
3. Auto-cropping in the stabilize effect (Added automatic clipping pictures in the stabilization effect)
You used to have to laboriously crop a stabilized shot. Now the effect will do it for you.
4. Easier number entry on laptops. (Simplified enter numbers on a notebook without making nampada)
You no longer have to use Number Lock. Just tap the control key twice, and you can use the number row.
5. And the piece de resistance – Transition Preservation.
Briefly, this is a set of timeline modifications that make it possible to do three things: (Finally fixed the problem with these bearded disolvami!)
a. Move clips around in segment mode without losing dissolves.
b. Edit from one sequence to another even when a dissolve is involved (no more error messages about breaking a transition effect).
c. Drag the edge of a clip through a dissolve and have the dissolve reattach itself.
Fixed in v4.0.3
The following have been fixed:
– Bug Number: UDevC00128226. The v190.38 NVIDIA driver has been qualified. This fixes the ?Unable to install fonts? error that occurred on WinXP SP3 systems.
– Bug Number: UDevC0090818. You might have received an ?Exception: FILE_Other? error when exporting AAF to a network shared drive. This has been fixed.
– Bug Number: UDevC00128607. Playing back the Timeline when in MultiCamera mode with the DV device attach resulted in an ?Exception: ADM_DIO? error. This has been fixed.
– Bug Number: UDevC00129441. Using Audio Punch-in to create filler at the beginning of the timeline would sometimes fail with an error. This has been fixed. This has been fixed.
– Bug Number: UDevC00130505. Performing a DV capture with the Panasonic AJ-SD755 deck might have resulted in ?ADVAudioDev: TransferSample? errors. This has been fixed.
– Bug Number: UDevC00131178, UDevC00131974. XDCAM batch imports occasionally failed to accept the correct disk. This has been fixed.
– Bug Number: UDevC00130028. Some AAF sequences did not successfully import into the editing application. This has been fixed.
– Bug Number: UDevC00130757. The Timeline would freeze for approximately 5 to 10 seconds when performing an audio scrub. This has been fixed.
– Bug Number: UDevC00130658. After canceling a sequence export and returning to the Timeline or Source/Record monitors, you might have received a ?Core_unable_to_do? error. This has been fixed.
