Learning how to write graphic shaders (important in the creation processes of 3D configurators) means harnessing the power of the GPU with its thousands of cores all running in parallel. It`s a kind of programming that requires a different way of thinking, but unlocking its potential is worth the initial effort. Virtually every modern [...]
Eye Dome Lighting (EDL) is a non-photorealistic shading technique (important in the creation process of a 3D configurator) designed to improve depth perception in scientific visualization images. It relies on efficient postprocessing passes implemented on the GPU with GLSL shaders to achieve interactive rendering. To calculate the shading function, only projected depth information is [...]
In this article we will show you how to use rays to create different effects (for example in 3D configurator projects) and to compare the results with your rasterized counterpart. In the following video you will find a demo for hybrid rendering: Better rendering through hybrid [...]
Scanline rendering is the preferred method for creating most computer graphics in moving images for example for 3D configurators. A special implementation called REYES is so popular that it has almost become the standard in this industry. Scanline rendering is also the method used by video games and mosz scientific and technical visualization programs. [...]
Since the Augmented Reality / Virtual Reality (VR) market is expected to reach a volume of 162 billion dollars in 2020, there are numerous factors that point even greater growth in this future market. In addition to success components such as performance and design, there are also some major challenges facing the AR industry. [...]
Part of the global IT market is expected to be worth more than $1,5 billion by 2020. Augmented reality (AR) could become the main driver of the VR/AR market by 2021 with a major share of 83 billion dollars. AR in health and education (similar to the usage of 3D configurators) has far-reaching implications [...]
The production and sales processes for most products are very similar. A small team develops a product and once it has been produced, others market it and sell it to different customers. A company can use focus groups, research, internal feedback or customer suggestions to follow a new product development path. But during the [...]
Now that you know what a render farm (for example to render a 3D configurator) is from our previous article, we`ll explain in the following article what you need to know to use a render farm. Who uses a render farm? Increase your conversion rate. We help you [...]
For many Blender (well-suited to create a 3D configurator) fans November s a joy despite the moderate weather, because at this time the annual Blender conference takes place in Amsterdam. It is the moment of the year when friends meet again to learn about the new things that have happened in the world of Blender [...]
In my opinion, pricing is one of the most important aspects in the selection of a service provider (important to view 3D configurators without problems) who provides services as a render farm. So let`s look at how render farm pricing works. What is a GHz hour? What are core hours about? [...]
