3D programming with Vpython (3) 2008-03-07 12:25:00 3D programming with Vpython from linuxgazette.netBy Maxin B. John"3-Dimensional Programming for Ordinary Mortals"- claims the Vpython project website. Vpython is a python module for 3 Dimensional scientific programming, specifically useful for the people with a Physics background.Based On A True StoryAlmost 3 years back, the Department of Computer Applications , Government Engineering College, Thrissur, India decided to conduct their annual National Seminal Seminar and Programming Contest, known as Renaissance - 2005, in the month of November. The people for Linux (which includes me) convinced the Professors to make the Renaissance 2005 a celebration of Free/Open Source . Our decision was to make it a true celebration of Linux. Almost all the programs were on Linux based technologies.We co
3D programming : Generating Terrain Textures (2) 2008-03-06 07:31:00 Generating TerrainTextures
from flipcode.comby Yordan Gyurchev (31 May 2001) IntroductionSeveral months ago I was working on a terrain algorithm. When it was implemented, all of a sudden I realized that I needed some textures. At that moment I rushed into this texture generation stuff.Here I’ve provided the stuff I’ve found on the net, fertilized with my own ideas.The TheoryThere are different types of terrain. You can call them different types of land if you like. There are for example snow, rocks, grass, mud, etc. Those can be found at various places in nature.The texture synthesis in this paper is based on combining all types of terrain but weighted with factors according to the traits of the specific place. For each terrain type a probability factor is calculated and then used a
3D graphics programming in Java 2008-03-06 07:19:00 3D graphics programming in Java, Part 1: Java 3D from javaworld.comGet a head start with this introduction to the Java 3D APIBy Bill Day, JavaWorld.com, 12/01/98In order to build a true Java platform, Sun realized early on that it needed to fill out the API picture beyond the limited functionality available in the Java 1.0 core platform. Sun has grown the core a great deal with the 1.1 and impending 1.2 releases, but there are still some pieces missing from the Java puzzle.Sun and its partners developed the Java Media and Communication APIs to provide the missing multimedia programming pieces. Two of the biggest pieces, 2D and 3D graphics, are targeted with the Java 2D and 3D APIs, respectively. Java 2D is a core platform API beginning with Java 1.2, while Java 3D will be released as an Ex

Rhino documentation (2) 2008-02-24 14:54:00 Modeling a car with Rhino
ceros 3.0ByRomain Chevalier aka The Rain KnightIn this tutorial, you’ll first learn to use Rhinoceros. If you used to work on 3dsmax like me, you’ll be first a bit disturbed by the graphic interface, but with time, you’ll see it’s very powerful. In the end when coming back to max, you’d just want to type in your commands name…The following is about modeling a non existing car. I worked with Audi TT blueprints and tried to think about the next generation in a way. This way, you could do your own model and it will be more fun than following a classic tutorial. There are 14 lessons in the tutorial, some are longer than others. The whole modeling is considered, even the export to3sdmax for rendering.- 1 - 2 -

By combining any of 100+ procedural components into a texture tree, you can interactively create photo-realistic textures, surface shaders, and animated effects.The textures generated by DarkTrees are calculated in 3D space instead of being derived from bitmaps. Because of this, DarkTree materials can be rendered with full detail at any size, map seamlessly onto any shape, and can be easily changed during the creative process (or over time for special effects). ...

from 3pointd.comUgoTrade has a lengthy write-up of some of the work IBM has been doing in the virtual world of Second Life lately. [Via IBM’s Rob Smart.] The blog entry is all about creating links between the real world and the virtual world, so that sensor data and other information can be visualized in Second Life on a real-time basis. In the screenshot above, “The blue balls with white designs represent active Bluetooth devices. The pyramids scattered about the floor represent other people working, with the color designating things like physical presence or telepresence,” according to UgoTrade. This is just one kind of application that could start to make Second Life a much more useful place. I’d love to see entities and conditions Read more:IBM
