My SketchUp Plugins list, and blog about the world of plugins for SketchUp.
11D Sculptor is full-3D freehand sculpting software. Its intuitive and powerful modeling tools change what is possible in digital sculpting. Using 11D Firefly - an innovative 3D 6DOF input device for real 3D space navigation gives the artists all the natural sculpting touches in the virtual world.
New features include the following:
* NEW! Ward Reflection Shader Type
* NEW! More than 10 new Procedural Textures, including Dirt (to create ambient occlusion per material)
* NEW! Ambient Occlusion
* NEW! IES Lights and Spotlights
* NEW! Material Layer Arrangement
* NEW! Faster Parsing Times
* NEW! Support for SketchUp Transparency and Alpha Transparency
SketchUp is one of the most widely used and easy to learn 3D Modeling software on the market today. With V-Ray for SketchUp, users now have one of the most powerful rendering tools available to visualize their models with the upmost quality and realism. V-Ray works within the SketchUp environment allowing users to be able to efficiently incorporate the task of rendering within their current workflows.
the short term goal of Khamsin is to highlight my capabilities in CFD, while trying to create something useful for the community.
In the long term I hope that Khamsin may become a complete CFD package tailored for the building environment (wind studies, indoor air quality, thermal comfort) using a 3D environment already in use by many architectural practices.
We have now entered our final phase before open beta, since we are left mostly with 'packaging' work and a rebuilt of our web site. Closed beta has proved a very successful one, where we were able to tune further the render engine and optimize workflow. During our web site building and testing, it may occasionally become unavailable (for very few moments). Meantime, our forum will be always active. We really want to thank you for your patience and support all the months that have passed and even more the trust in us, delivering a high-standards product. We are sure you won't get disappointed.
It's development version. Tested on Sketchup 7.1 Free Windows XP 64-bit
I've included test scene to play with.
Features
- export meshes
- export materials: matte and light.
- setting editor (not completed)
- material editor (only select material type)
LuxRender is a physically based and unbiased rendering engine. Based on state of the art algorithms, LuxRender simulates the flow of light according to physical equations, thus producing realistic images of photographic quality.
LuxRender is free software - both for personal and commercial use - and is licensed under the GPL. The program runs on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Fully functional exporters are available for Blender and Maya, while exporters for a growing number of 3d applications are under development.
