OTOY New 3D Rendering Software

Sunday, January 31st, 2010

OTOY New 3D rendering software. I though MAYA, VRAY and 3D Max were good. Don’t get me wrong, they are brilliant for 3D renders……But OTOY wins hands down. I’m thinking that, i would have to hire someone who can use this program.

In this business you have to keep up with the latest software that can improve your work 10 fold, otherwise your competition will beat you hands down. ALL THE TIME. If you don’t have the best. you can’t be the best. Its as simple as that.

3D Software:

Friday, January 29th, 2010

3D software tends to range in complexity and sophistication, although these days even the simplest 3D software is capable of impressive results.

However, choosing the right 3D program is not a trivial matter, nor is it an easy one. There are many factors to take into account, and your choice will also depend on your intentions.

Do you just want to dabble or include a little 3D rendering in your website? Maybe you are a 2D designer and want to start including 3D in your illustration work. Maybe you have learned about 3D using free software and intend to pursue 3D as a career.

Most 3D programs are available as demo versions, so you can try them out and get a feel of how they work before committing any of your hard-earned cash.

Let’s look at the cost:

Maya:
Maya 2010 with gold subscription
$6,225.35 Maya 2010 with subscription
$5,803.29 Maya 2010 without subscription $4,951.06.

Auto desk 3D Max 2010:
$3,495.00
VRAY for Maya: $899
So you can see that it is an expensive hobby or career to set yourself up. Talk to you tomorrow. :)

World’s first 3D office photocopier

Thursday, January 28th, 2010

Worlds first 3D office photocopier, Ortery has launched a new office machine called ‘Photosimile’ or what it claims to be the world’s first 3D product photography machine.

Photosimile is effectively a photocopier that creates virtual 3D replicas of whatever small artifact you like. Or animal (providing they sit still while the machine spins them around 360 degrees, that is!).

3D magic box

Ortery’s Photosimile 5000 system; A PC-controlled desktop photography studio, comprising a light box, a DSLR camera, an automated camera positioning device and dedicated workflow software.

Ortery’s new desktop studio systems allow you to create professional-looking product photos for use online (as 3D animations, if you so wish) or in print.

The Photosimile 5000 software does all the work for you – controlling the studio, camera location, turntable movement, camera settings, picture taking, and post processing.

Pop your shoe (or whatever you like, really) into the light box and let the Photosimile software do the rest.

Save 3D animations in Silverlight

Ortery’s system makes use of four daylight bulbs providing 6500K illumination, a Canon DSLR mounted on a mechanical track, an Ortery turntable and can shoot up to 72 pictures per 360-degree rotation, from zero through to 90 degrees.

Your pics can then be saved as GIF or Flash files or converted into 3D Microsoft Silverlight animations using Ortery’s Real3D format.

Ortery’s Photosimile 5000 is now shipping at a LOW cost of around US$17000 (£10550). NOT! How can they justify that?

Wow this could really be a doom and gloom for photography, too! Thank god they can’t use it for house renders. Yet! All the years of study for what to be replaced by machines…..Whats the world coming to.

Take a look on utube!!
