Drum'n'Bass: the underground movement in and around Varese

Hello,
is with great pleasure that I announce the birth of a group on Facebook dedicated to the movement drum'n'bass Province: Varese D'n'B All Stars.

http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=10150123632485618&ref=mf

The group is a point of reference for the genus in our area (Bust / Varese / Novara / Ticino), to promote dialogue between evenings and the "colleagues".
thank Marco.Groove (dj / promoter of Busto Arsizio) for the initiative and wish the team a bright future.

GreenShot - Utility opensource screenshot

Hello, I come back with an update
Software opensource: after DJV (excellent player frame) Greenshot here, an excellent tool crossplatform (Windows / Linux) that allows you to make screenshot of the screen, individual windows, regions of the monitor.
is activated with a combination of user-programmable keys (alt + print / ctrl + print /...) and returns the image of the shot in one small and lightweight editor through which you can insert lines, text and shapes Basic geometric. E 'can then save the file in different formats or copy to the clipboard.


What is it? you have any idea how many times a day we send preview images for review with the client and it is necessary to highlight certain parts of the frame (penalty hours spent on the phone to understand what is meant by "the box at the bottom verdeazzuro left ")? Make a screenshot of the entire screen with windows, open it with Gimp / Photoshop for editing, cropped and resaved lose precious time. And if your workstation has opened huge scene or simulation calculation is the end!

Impressions
certainly be expanded in terms of functions (send e-mail, sent to other applications, plus tools for drawing, ...) And a small bug on the text: once entered, hit Enter, the window loses focus and must be retrieved by clicking. In this environment WindowsVista 64.
I appreciate very much the extreme lightness and the fact that although the functions are few, are exactly what you need for professional users: with alt + print is activated dialing region, one click and you open the program with the 'image, within seconds you edit and save in a minute and a half you have left your preview: D

If you use it at work, remember to make a donation however small or if you buy used equipment on Amazon the link on the homepage of the project.

available for any questions,

Ultimate Organics Cocao And Sheabutter

Inner hobby

Hello,
post a picture I made for my brother Andrew and I picked up this week.

The plant part of the furnishings and kitchen furnishings are Evermotion.

The rest is modeled on drawings by Andrea Grandi, Pietro Great shading and lighting.
Rendering: VRay - 3h @ 3000x1688

It 's interesting because this work using the physical system of continued vray to have artifacts on the ceiling of the kitchen, even raising the parameters of the GI or sampling could clean it.
the end I used a VRayLight without the "skylight portal" for the kitchen window and I kept very low, without decay and without cast shadows. Then I turned on interpolation for Evermotion loads of glossy materials (part of the refrigerator and sink) with four passes.
At this point I realized that the Light cache could be relatively low (1400 samples, with prefiltering) and turned up the parameters of the subdivisions IrradianceMap (88) taking samples of the interpolation to 18, I have also activated the detail enhancement . At this point, the rendering time was excellent and the result excellent, unfortunately I love the filters 'hard' and I always opt for a high tolerance if not I will find myself with serrated edges and it did raise the computation time.

The final rendering is a 32-bit multi-channel EXR composited in Nuke. Note that for the first time I did not use the sub-pixel mapping and the result is much better than usual: in fact, those little errors that I noted earlier disappear with the glow of blur applied to past and capricious (in this case and specular reflection ).

My Dad Masterbates When I'm Around

3D motiongraphics

Hello,
put a little animation. E 'was prepared as a feasibility study for an animation to be inserted into opening a website.

The logo was designed by a team of graphic designers, I was involved in the creation of 3D compositing and motion graphics including the final.
Everything was created with 3DStudio Max, rendered with Mental Ray and a lighting system "fake gi" cone of light to soften the shadows, the 3D compositing with Nuke was performed while the animation of the final written / logo/3d is made in After Effects.
