Next Limit Maxwell Render v2.1.0

Next Limit Maxwell Render v2.1.0



CORE ENGINE – NEW FEATURES

• New Multishadow feature. When Intensity Multilight is on and the Shadow Channel is enabled, Maxwell Render can export all the shadow buffers corresponding to each independent emitter to separated files, providing an extra control over the final compositing in post-production.

• Shadow Channel vastly improved now compatible with global illumination and with any number of emitters or illumination modes.

• Added support for embedding render channels as additional layers inside the output image in the formats that support it (exr, tiff).

• Added support to render region in Maxwell.exe. It is now possible to change an area to render inside Maxwell GUI. Render region is now available through scripting and command line. The command line argument is -region: type,x1,y1,x2,y2 where type is “full”, “region” or “blowup”.

• Simulens maps are now embedded in the MXI file so the image can be properly restored even if the maps are not found.

• Now MXI files contain info from the camera used to generate the files and the info can be used in post processing plugins.
New Multishadow feature and Separated Lights extraction for unprecedented control for compositing

• It is possible to render regions smaller than 32 x 32 pixels.

• Now sky dome color can be set using two colors, for horizon and zenith with a parameter to control the gradient.

• New core routines that dramatically improve the performance in scenes with Motion Channel enabled.

• New GUI option to automatically save lights in separated files. To avoid performance issues, when this option is active, lights are separated in files only when the render finishes, not at every update. (Remember there is also a flag “-extractlights” to enable the same option through command line).

• New global flags added to the render options: “domotionblur”, “dodisplacement”, “dodispersion” to easily enable/disable these options without need to re-export the scene.

• Emixer files are now XML files, making it much easier to edit in external editors and to create light animations.

• Now Multilight sliders are logarithmic, providing improved control.

• New script included in the script folder “progressive_animation.ms”. This script renders all the MXS files located in the input folder but instead of rendering them sequentially until each one reach the final SL, it renders

them incrementally. First, it renders all the frames up to SL 4, then, to SL 8, SL 12 etc. It is useful for quick previewing of animations.

• New scripting functions (check the manual for details).

• New command line parameters (check the manual for details).

• New SDK functions (check SDK documentation for details).

NextLimit RealFlow 5.0 and RenderKit 2.0 x32/x64 (6.2010) | 527MB

Among the opportunities RealFlow - miscalculation of the dynamic behavior of particles, liquid, solid and soft bodies and their interaction with water and with each other. The program gives you the flexibility to manage the water drops and melting, to determine the depth of the sea, on which depends the size of the waves, sending an object to float downstream, add animated objects to the cameras and more. The algorithm uses calculations RealFlow physical dynamics equations of fluid mechanics and has a unique feature - simulations of the particles can interact with each other. As the particles are used metabolly - elements, "sleepy" with each other at short distances with the formation of a turning surface, which is the end result of calculations. Using RealFlow can not only cheat the dynamics of gas, liquids, fluids of different viscosity and elastic material, but also to simulate, for example, scattered galaxy. At the same time, developers have found a good balance between the realism of the results and computation time at a relatively low system requirements for hardware.

In this series of lessons, we will explore some workflows for creating highly realistic interior renders using CINEMA 4D.
During the course of this training, we will go through the entire process of rendering an interior scene with realistic light and material behaviors using some of the powerful rendering features found in CINEMA 4D. We will begin by creating materials for the various objects in our scene, in preparation for the lighting process. Once we get into the lighting, we will learn how to render our images into a linear color space and we will incorporate a variety of realistic light behaviors into the scene. Finally, we will discover the benefits of multi-pass rendering by making significant, precise alterations to our final render using Photoshop.

45 Gigapixel Image of Dubai




45 Gigapixel Image of Dubai Sets Record as World's

First, it was a breathtaking image of Paris that set the record as the world's largest digital panorama at 26 gigapixels. But that record was broken as GigaPan announced today that an image taken of Dubai has taken the top spot as the world's largest digital photo. The gigapixel image that can be viewed at photo sharing site GigaPan.org, topped out at 45 gigapixels. If printed, this photo would be the size of nearly 1200 billboards.

Recently, photographer Gerald Donovan took a majestic image of a landscape in Dubai using the GigaPan EPIC Pro robotic camera mount based on technology employed by NASA's Mars Rover. He shot the photo using a Canon 7D camera coupled with GigaPan's EPIC Pro robotic mount, which took nearly 4,250 pictures over a three- and half-hour time frame. With the help of GigaPan Engineers Randy Sargent and Paul Heckbert, they stitched together the thousands of photos into one very large image using Autopano stitching software and uploaded it to the GigaPan.org site.

"This was intended as a technical test," said Gerald Donovan. "It was about exploring the limits of the hardware and software out there."

Of course, if anyone thought of visiting Dubai without leaving their living room, this is an excellent opportunity to do so because the level of detail is so intense. The tallest building in the world is at the center of the image, a perfect complement to the largest panorama in the world.

Adobe Photoshop CS5

Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended v12.0 Final for Win/Mac


Create powerful images with the professional standard! Adobe Photoshop - the essential software for perfecting your images, Adobe® Photoshop® CS4 now offers productivity and workflow enhancements, powerful new editing tools, and breakthrough compositing capabilities.
Adobe® Photoshop® CS5 software accelerates your path from imagination to imagery. Ideal for photographers, graphic designers, and web designers, the professional standard delivers new features such as automatic layer alignment and blending that enable advanced compositing. Live filters boost the comprehensive, nondestructive editing toolset for increased flexibility. And a streamlined interface and new timesaving tools make your work flow faster. Adobe® Photoshop® CS5 Extended software delivers all the features in Photoshop CS5, plus new features for working with 3D imagery, motion-based content, and advanced image analysis.
If you work in film, video, multimedia, 3D, manufacturing, architecture, engineering, medicine, or science, Photoshop Extended is for you.


Adobe Photoshop software takes advantage of the latest graphics processing unit (GPU) hardware to deliver superior performance. The software offers a smooth pan and zoom experience that allows users to easily edit images at the highest magnification while maintaining clarity. The new Canvas Rotation tool makes it simple to rotate and work on an image from any angle. Photoshop CS5 helps keep work areas clutter-free with a new unified application frame, tab-based interface and self-adjusting panels that make it easy to quickly access advanced tools, and provide a more fluid way to interact with the application.

Adobe CS5 Extended includes all the new features of Photoshop plus the ability to manipulate 3D imagery easier than ever before. Now, creativity knows no bounds, as users can paint directly on 3D models and surfaces, merge 2-D files onto 3D images and animate 3D objects. The 3D engine has been rebuilt from the ground up to provide faster performance, allow editing of properties like light and the ability to create more realistic renderings with a new high-quality ray-tracer. Video professionals have the ability to turn any 3D object into a video display zone and can animate 3D objects and properties with ease. In addition, the core motion graphics editing has been improved with more efficient single-key shortcuts.

Photoshop users may take a while to move to the new 64-bit version of Photoshop CS5, but it's an important development; meanwhile, CS5 offers plenty of other significant upgrades to keep 32-bit users happy.
Photoshop now comes in both 32- and 64-bit Windows Vista versions. The 64-bit edition will allow PCs with lots of RAM to work on very large images with less hard-disk swapping (ideally, no swapping at all), thus speeding up operations. With the shrinking amount of RAM available to modern PCs (due to a 4GB limit on 32-bit Windows versions and those operating systems' increasing hunger for RAM), that's a significant update.

Maxwell Render v2.0.3 + All Plugins





New features
•The format and depth of each channel can now be changed individually from the Render Options panel instead of having a global value in Preferences.
•Output paths now support macros. It is possible to insert macros in the image and MXI paths and the macros will be replaced with their real values when rendering.

The following macros are currently supported:
• %scene%: the name of the MXS file will be included in the final image file name
• %scenepath%: the full path of the MXS file will be included in the final image file name
• %camera%: the name of the active camera will be included in the final image file name
• %date%: the date the render was launched will be included in the final image file name in yyyy.mm.dd format
• %time%: the time the render was launched will be included in the final image file name in hh.mm format
• %temp%: the full path of the temp folder of the OS will be included in the final image file name
• %width%: the horizontal resolution value will be included in the final image file name
• %height%: the vertical resolution value will be included in the final image file name
• %resolution%: the current resolution will be included in the final image file name
• %colorspace%: the current color space will be included in the final image file name
•The render type (diffuse+reflections, diffuse only, reflections only) can now be set through the command line with the arguments -pass:diff // -refl // -diff+refl.

bugs fixed
•Fixed and optimized: multithreading routines that were generating artifacts and causing performance issues in certain cases.
•Fixed: crash using SSS with roughness.
•Fixed: potential problem in the object ID channel with scenes with instances.
•Fixed: if the viewer was in full size (i.e. double clicking it), pressing Alt + F4 closed it until the session was restored. This happened only in Windows.
•Fixed: loading an image in the viewer after rendering and stopping was failing.
•IMPORTANT: the Maxwell Render license key (license.txt) is now located in:
- Windows:\Maxwell
- Mac OSX: /users//Maxwell
- Linux: $HOME/Maxwell (i.e. /home//Maxwell)
If you would like to check where your license key is located, open Maxwell.exe (Win) or Maxwell.app (Mac). The console window will specify where your license key is located, stating: “License found in…..”

Maxwell studio and the MateRial editoR
•Fixed: wrong preview in viewport in ortho views if the viewport was not linked to a camera.
•Fixed: when launching Maxwell Render, clicking on the “Render” button gives a temporary MXS file with all the cameras, and not just the active one.
•Fixed: when saving an MXS file with the current view in perspective mode, the first camera of the list is exported as the active one.

Maxwell RendeR netwoRk
•Fixed: potential crash after a node finishes a job.
•Added render type combo (diffuse+reflections/ diffuse /reflections) to the render options in the wizard.
•Fixed: render channels were not properly extracted to the final output folder in cooperative jobs (they were embedded in the MXI but the user had to extract them manually).
