Random Dancing Robots The Post SigGRAPH Post

Random Dancing Robots The Post SigGRAPH Post




Phew!

Never did I know attending SigGRAPH would make me so busy I wouldnt have time to make a post post SigGRAPH! Oh well, now I finally take five minutes to post a post.

First, I like to remind everyone of the mental ray wiki over at mymentalray.com, which is really taking off with the good help of Martin Breidt, especially his "mental ray cookbook" section.

Secondly, SigGRAPH was a blast, although I missed much due to, as always, lots of meetings. One of the funniest events happened when some random straggler (apparently not completely awake) wandered into one of our meetings and grabbed a coffee and sat down.... after some investigation we figured out the guy was in the wrong room.... he staggered out mumbling "at least I got free coffee". He had no pants on, for some reason. ;)


Thirdly, I can finally talk about mental ray 3.6 and the new toys that come with it. As shown in various posted demos, there are some new architectural stuff, like the portal lights, which allows a really quick set up for perfect quality skylight coming in through small windows.... as well as other things.



Also included is my own little "baby", the production shader library. I promise that youll read a lot more about that in this blog as things get released. A lot.

For now, youll have to make do with watching random dancing robots.




But hey, random dancing robots never hurt anyone, did they? Thought so.

THE STRANGE BOYS

THE STRANGE BOYS THE STRANGE BOYS - And girls club(2009) A banda � de Austin, Texas, e produz uma vers�o caipira do seu conterr�neo The 13th Floor Elevators, ou seja, temos Bob Dylan cantando em uma garagem. De fato, o vocal remete a Dylan instantaneamente, mas o som n�o se resume simplesmente ao pai do folk. H� faixas que remetem ao Kinks, outras que lembram o Beach Boys, e momentos que for�am o rockability de Chuck Berry.Com tantas refer�ncias fica dif�cil notar alguma originalidade, e realmente n�o h� nenhuma novidade ou surpresa. O The Strange Boys segue aquela linha de que tudo que � bom j� foi produzido no passado, e por um momento de ignor�ncia for�ada eles est�o certos. Da pegada country (Theyre Building the Death Camps), passando pelo velho rock n roll (This Girls Taught Me a Dance), at� chegar nas baladas para se dan�ar com a sua paquera (No Way for a Slave to Behave), percebemos que antigamente tudo tinha mais sentido.And Girls Club � um belo disco de nostalgia, o que expli...

The History of the Guitar 26 track compilation covering several genres of music There is no doubting that the guitar is one of the most popular instruments of all time. It is widely used in practically every genre of music, and many a famous artist is known for their mastering of this stringed instrument. Here is a brief history: The guitar is a type of chordophone , traditionally constructed from wood and strung with either nylon or steel strings and distinguished from other chordophones by its construction and tuning. The modern guitar was preceded by the lute, the vihuela, the four-course Renaissance guitar, and the five-course baroque guitar, all of which contributed to the development of the modern six-string instrument. There are three main types of modern acoustic guitar : the classical guitar (nylon-string guitar), the steel-string acoustic guitar, and the archtop guitar. The tone of an acoustic guitar is produced by the vibration of the strings, which is amplified by the b...
