The result is a processing powerhouse: a new competitor, better equipped to drive growth, innovation and choice for its customers in commercial and mobile computing segments and in rapidly-growing consumer electronics segments. The transaction, valued at US $5.4 billion, is expected to close in Q4 2006 subject to approval by ATI shareholders, court approval, regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: right;"><a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.ati.com/companyinfo/about/amd-ati.html">[read more]</a><br /><br /><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/27181974-115381236576846520?l=cgfacts.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>CGNEWShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13292998993544263170noreply@blogger.com330tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27181974.post-1153765794211946832006-07-24T11:26:00.000-07:002006-07-25T00:10:15.953-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/9789/mole24ep4.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 113px;" src="http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/9789/mole24ep4.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>New making of by Anna Celarek using Softimage and 3dsmax on creating The Naked Mole Rat.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: right;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><a href="http://67.15.36.49/team/Tutorials/naked_mole_rat/molerat_1.asp">[read more]</a><br /><br /><br /></span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/27181974-115376579421194683?l=cgfacts.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>CGNEWShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13292998993544263170noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27181974.post-1153666043663923632006-07-23T07:44:00.000-07:002006-07-23T07:47:23.776-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://img478.imageshack.us/img478/6825/index01hs5.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 62px;" src="http://img478.imageshack.us/img478/6825/index01hs5.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>The first teaser trailer for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles has been released.

Blender's LSCM and ABF uv unwrapping tools are another example. If a good proportion of your life is spent in front of Maya, texture mapping polygon meshes, then you should probably install this plugin and mel script.<br /><br />Maya has really solid and reliable texture mapping tools but it's automatic unwrapping can produce very inefficient results which have to be manually tidied up. Blender's automatic mapping tools are very fast even on complicated meshes. The results need very little tidying up if at all. Have a look at the following Blender documentation and example movies.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://www.pullin-shapes.co.uk/"><span style="font-weight: bold;">[read more]</span></a><br /><br /><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/27181974-115359273034354728?l=cgfacts.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>CGNEWShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13292998993544263170noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27181974.post-1153562353709834922006-07-22T02:57:00.000-07:002006-07-22T02:59:13.973-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://img136.imageshack.us/img136/2078/cggirlsvotingod0.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 93px;" src="http://img136.imageshack.us/img136/2078/cggirlsvotingod0.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>3DM3 have opened voting in competition of ready artworks - The most beautiful CG girl #3.

When the Budapest crew took on the project for the Warhammer cinematic trailer, they knew that both a good understanding of what the client wanted, and the development of a good workflow, would help them along the way.<br /><br />Digic Pictures’ production of the Warhammer ‘Mark of Chaos’ intro took six months with 25 people involved. “Everybody did a great job and deserves to be mentioned individually,” says Gabor Marinov, Creative Producer. Marinov is speaking from Budapest, where the CG industry has recently been given new lease on life.

It is a huge step forward in technology, performance, and speed. The interface and interaction are redesigned, more than sixty new features are added, and everything is speeded up, e.g., converting one million point clouds to meshes takes only a few minutes on a regular PC.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://www.vrmesh.com/news/pressrelease.asp"><span style="font-weight: bold;">[read more]</span></a><br /><br /><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/27181974-115346578405791268?l=cgfacts.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>CGNEWShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13292998993544263170noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27181974.post-1153412978432420212006-07-20T09:27:00.000-07:002006-07-20T09:29:38.460-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://img415.imageshack.us/img415/1213/route16wh4.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 114px;" src="http://img415.imageshack.us/img415/1213/route16wh4.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Kristijan Stuhli takes through the making of his recent gallery image 'Route Kanal'<br /><br /><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://67.15.36.49/team/Tutorials/route_kanal/route_kanal.asp"><span style="font-weight: bold;">[read more]</span></a><br /><br /><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/27181974-115341297843242021?l=cgfacts.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>CGNEWShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13292998993544263170noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27181974.post-1153298170136432802006-07-19T01:33:00.000-07:002006-07-19T01:36:10.170-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/6714/splash009za5.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 151px; height: 81px;" src="http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/6714/splash009za5.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Blender 2.42 is out and YafRay needed to be updated for working with it. So we have new YafRay release, about a year later of 0.0.8 version. In fact, this is a maintenance release with few (but important) changes. Greatest change is the project manager ;-) because Mathias Wein, a.k.a. Lynx, is at the head of YafRay development. Good luck, Lynx and thank you for getting involved in this insane project!<br /><br /> Here is a 0.0.9 changelog:<br /><br /> * New SAH-kdtree for mesh objects, which is hopefully mature now. Improvements include: Smaller memory footprint, more robust traversal (so holes in meshes should be history), faster ray-scene-intersection (depending on scene) due to new building algorithm (surface area heuristic and triangle clipping, preparing scene can take a bit longer though)<br /> * Image loading code is more careful when trying to load files with unknown extension (crash-fixes)<br /> * Added -p command line option for Linux to specify an alternative plugin path when rendering XML (yafray executable), YafRay also prints used plugin path and number of plugins loaded to console now.<br /> * Changing number of threads with blender plugin now takes effect without restarting blender (blender 2.42 and later only)<br /> * Fixed some minor bugs, code cleanups/updates for newer compilers and build-environments<br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://www.yafray.org/index.php"><span style="font-weight: bold;">[read more]</span></a><br /><br /><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/27181974-115329817013643280?l=cgfacts.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>CGNEWShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13292998993544263170noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27181974.post-1153159992170894642006-07-17T11:11:00.000-07:002006-07-17T11:14:12.183-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://img505.imageshack.us/img505/8862/oolox12xe1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 130px; height: 151px;" src="http://img505.imageshack.us/img505/8862/oolox12xe1.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Pierre Bourgeot gives us an overview of how he created his creature 'Oolox'<br /><br /><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://67.15.36.49/team/Tutorials/Oolox/oolox_1.asp"><span style="font-weight: bold;">[read more]</span></a><br /><br /><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/27181974-115315999217089464?l=cgfacts.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>CGNEWShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13292998993544263170noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27181974.post-1153159109586211022006-07-17T10:55:00.000-07:002006-07-17T10:58:29.586-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7036/2855/1600/vray4rhino5.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7036/2855/200/vray4rhino5.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>ASGVIS announces that V-Ray for Rhino 1.0 will be available for sale starting on July 18th 2006.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://www.asgvis.com/news_071406_pr01.html"><span style="font-weight: bold;">[read more]</span></a><br /><br /><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/27181974-115315910958621102?l=cgfacts.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>CGNEWShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13292998993544263170noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27181974.post-1153158814831865092006-07-17T10:49:00.001-07:002006-07-17T11:02:33.760-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7036/2855/1600/rug18dl1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7036/2855/200/rug18dl1.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>THE123D release the RUGS KIT - a versatile set of 21 high quality JPEG rug textures and ready to use 3DS Max MODELS to add richness & detail to your interior rendering projects.

The new release is the first in a series of major rewrites and restructuring of LightWave 3D’s core with the addition of comprehensive new features such as a node-based materials editor, optically correct cameras, adaptive pixel subdivision, Catmull-Clark subdivision surfaces, sub-surface scattering and vast render speed improvements.<br /><br />“LightWave version 9.0 changes the value proposition for 3D software – we significantly improved LightWave’s core strengths of incredible power and amazing speed with this release. When you consider this along with the entire LightWave feature set, NewTek brings an outstanding value to the market,” said Jay Roth, president, NewTek 3D Division. “The fantastic work that our development team has accomplished under-the-hood provides a foundation for the implementation of innovative new capabilities faster and more effectively as we build the future. Throughout the LightWave v9 development cycle users will see the capabilities of the software further extend… and quite dramatically.”<br /><br /><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://www.newtek.com/news/releases/07-13-06a.html"><span style="font-weight: bold;">[read more]</span></a><br /><br /><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/27181974-115281308377171128?l=cgfacts.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>CGNEWShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13292998993544263170noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27181974.post-1152719339217959632006-07-12T08:47:00.000-07:002006-07-12T08:48:59.220-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7036/2855/1600/2006122162037_avid_logo.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 113px;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7036/2855/320/2006122162037_avid_logo.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Avid Technology announced the worldwide availability of version 5.5 of its Avid Xpress Pro software as well as the newest member in Avid's line of Digital Nonlinear Accelerator products, Avid Mojo SDI.

I am born here in Quebec City in 1980 and I am 25 right now. I am an animator at Ubisoft for 3 years now and character modeler for past time. I always got interest in special effects in movie since I’m kid, but I finish in video game industry. I start working on Far Cry Instincts on Xbox and after that I switch to Assassin’s Creed. I was also a teacher for character modeling at NAD center during 4 sessions. I’m not anymore at Montreal because I transfer to Ubisoft Quebec.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://www.cgarena.com/archives/interviews/jonathan/jonathan.html"><span style="font-weight: bold;">[read more]</span></a><br /><br /><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/27181974-115190222733766146?l=cgfacts.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>CGNEWShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13292998993544263170noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27181974.post-1151735426332329232006-06-30T23:28:00.000-07:002006-06-30T23:30:26.333-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/7288/packvue64ma.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 126px; height: 149px;" src="http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/7288/packvue64ma.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Vue 6 marks e-on's continued commitment to providing cutting-edge 3D environment solutions.
