M4D-Mental Ray and iRay for C4D

BOXX and Autodesk present an overview of iray featuring expert insight and analysis from George Matos (Chipman Design Architecture) and Shane Griffith (3ds Max).

Autodesk 3DS Max 2011 is a comprehensive, integrated solution for 3D modeling, animation and rendering solutions for professionals in the field of game development, visual effects and design.

With this Citizen Exclusive tutorial series we’ll take a look at how we can proceed to model a complete modern design room, creating photo-realistic shaders to simulate complex surfaces, modeling furniture and all the objects we need to complete it. We’ll see how to simulate daylight and nighttime lighting, and we’ll see how to render it with iRay, users that has no iRay can follow the tutorial and use Mental Ray as rendering engine.

'This book is the definitive reference manual for mental ray version 3.4. It starts with a brief overview of the features of mental ray and continues with the specification of the mental ray scene description language, the mental ray shader interface, and the integration interface for third-party applications. All material is presented in reference form, organized by grammar elements and C function call, rather than by feature set. The book is intended for translator writers, shader writers, and integrators, who are familiar with the C and C++ programming languages. This third, completely revised edition was extended to cover the new generation of mental ray, version 3.4, throughout the book, and also includes the mental ray integration manual. ...

In this new tutorial for 3ds max we’ll start to work on a architectural interior scene with a pool inside. We’ll start modeling the entire scene using standard poly modeling tools as extrusion, chamfer and standard primitives. Then we’ll start assigning simple shader and we’ll add a basic illumination using a Sun/Sky for Mental Ray using the Daylight system and some Sky Portal. We’ll take a look at basic rendering setup using Mental Images iRay Renderer.

Mental Case for Mac OS X makes organizing your mental notes a snap. Gather them together in a ‘case’, the Mental Case equivalent of an iTunes playlist. Then group related cases together in collections. Search your notes, or drag them between cases. Mental Case for Mac is the most powerful way to organize your study. Just as iTunes on your Mac provides a hub for your music and movies, Mental Case for Mac is your learning hub. After organizing your mental notes, you can sync them to your iPad, iPhone, or iPad touch over a Wi-Fi (Airport) network. Any edits or new notes you make on your iOS device will sync back to the Mac, and when you study on your iOS device, your learning schedule is updated on the Mac when you sync.

Mark Vonnegut on Just Like Someone Without Mental Illness Only More So I wrote Just Like Someone Without Mental Illness Only More So because I was increasingly annoyed with my younger self, who had wrapped up everything with a bow. You can try but you don’t just get to get over mental illness at age twenty-five, go to medical school, write a book, get married and call it a wrap....
