Normal and Bump Maps both serve the same purpose: they simulate the impression of a detailed 3D surface by modifying the shading as if the surface had many small angles instead of being completely flat. The Maps are important when creating a 3D configurator. Because it's just a change to the shading of each [...]
Recently, Blender Benchmark, a new platform for collecting and presenting the results of hardware and software performance tests, was introduced. It is also important when creating a 3D configurator. This benchmark aims to provide an optimal comparison between system hardware and installations and helps developers track performance during Blender development. [...]
At first glance, the 3D Puppet Tool in After Effects may seem like a useless tool that will probably never really arouse your interest. The tool is also very useful when creating a 3D configurator. The function is next to Rotobrush and is the last tool in the bar. Surely the last tool in [...]
Parallax Occlusion Mapping (POM) is a high-end technique (and important for creating 3D configurators) for shading GPU fragments that effectively gives every Texel a height value. Normal mapping. Normal Mapping changes the illumination of each fragment so that it looks as if the surface is aligned in [...]
In the following article we would like to introduce the gameflare.com website to you. On the website you will find numerous games which you can play for free on the website directly or embed in your website via Iframe. In the following article we have put together a small selection of 3D games for [...]
Parallax Mapping is a technique for real-time approximation (important in creation process of 3D configurators) of displacement mapping, sometimes referred to as Virtual Displacement Mapping. The texture coordinates of the individual pixels are adjusted during render time to create an illusion of depth as the viewer's eye moves across a scene. [...]
In June 2016, Adobe acquired Mixamo, and Winston Hendrickson set out his vision for the future combination of Mixamo and Photoshop. Today, Adobe released Fuse (Preview), a new product with an integrated workflow in Photoshop that marks the beginning of our next phase in unlocking the power of 3D design (for example 3D configurator), [...]
Modo has developed into a software that is capable of many things. The underlying architecture allows the tools to be used in almost unlimited ways. This is not surprising, because every modern VFX pipeline needs versatile software. Modo is ideal for creating 3D configurators. This versatility often [...]
The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) starts today and "The Foundry" will present their new MakerBot Kit for Modo (ideal software to create a individual 3D configurator). The announcement promises good things for individual 3D printers and businesses that need an industry standard approach that increases the accuracy, quality and flexibility of 3D printing in [...]
There is no 3D software that is superior to others in all its aspects. 3D software is very important for creating a 3D configurator. In practice, interesting discussions about different software solutions can be observed, but the old CGI proverb "The designer is responsible for the quality and not the software" can still be [...]
