I`ve spent quite a bit of time in the last few weeks compiling bits of different articles to figure out how to implement normal mapping (important task in creating a 3D configurator) in the Lair Engine. The problem is that the methods and terminology used in Normal Mapping articles are very different. This makes [...]
The goal of this webinar is to give V-Ray and Maya (ideal software to create 3D configurators) users a small overview of the visualization process. We will mainly deal with topics like importing DWG files, modeling, lighting, assigning materials and rendering. If you are new to the [...]
The image editing plugins (very helpful in the creation process of a 3D configurator) of the Google NIK Collection are now available free of charge. Nik´S Analog Efex Pro, Color Efex Pro, Silver Efex Pro, Sharpener Pro and Dfine Apps are all available as free downloads on Google, a considerable saving compared to the previous [...]
Spherical panoramas can be very helpful in staging interiors, as they allow the viewer to explore the space by himself. You don`t have to worry about selecting limited camera angles for rendering (important task in creating a 3D configurator). Instead, you can use your spherical 360° shot to cover any view you might want [...]
Flash has not been available on multiple platforms for a long time. With this is mind, we thought it might be useful to write an article about the basics of replacing Flash. At its core, the following article deals with the following question: What is HTML5 (important technology in the creation process of a [...]
Few people know, but orginally 3D computer graphics was a simulation und analysis tool applied to scientific research. Unbelievable, isn`t it? Only later 3D graphics (for example a 3D configurator) were transferred to other areas. Today, when you hear about this disciplin, other areas come to mind against the background of today`s capabilities of animation, [...]
To create graphical applications (like a 3D configurators) on the webm HTML5 offers a variety of features such as 2D Canvas, WebGL, SVG or SMIL. To write WebGL applications, we use the existing canvas element of HTML5. This article gives an overview of the 2D canvas element in HTML5. HTML5 Canvas provides a simple and [...]
The ability to create, view or convert your 3D designs from your smartphone or tablet is growing daily with new applications (for example 3D configurator apps) and features. In the following article, we`ll present some suggestions for mobile apps that will make your life a lot easier. Every target group, whether student, professional or [...]
The continuation of the racing simulation "Project Cars 2" has recently started and continues to fight on the Xbox and Playstation and as a VR experience (like a 3D configurator) on the PC for a higher popularity. Praised by fans and critics alike, the game is known for its authentic racing car replicas, tracks [...]
TurboSquid 3D has the highest quality 3D model (for example to create a 3D configurator) library available on the Internet. In this article we will explore the reasons why artists, architects and designers find it so useful. The following video illustrates how you can sell your 3D models with TurboSquid: [...]
