NEWS! A New Female coming to Poserland. . . - Runtime DNA Inc. forum

. . .Meet Eva!!

She's been a long time in production. 1000s of hours. She is about as perfect a figure as Poser will allow. Not meaning to sound boastful there, I refer to the bending and movement.

She is a higher resolution figure. She is 116,000 Polygons. V4 is ~74,000.
This means more detail can be morphed into Eva.

Similar in size and shape to V4 so that there won't be a major hastle in trying to get your vast libraries acclimated to her.


Scheduled release date: Friday, September 25, 2009

Beautiful future ... what shoul I say more ....

Watch out for Eva!

3D model search

Perhaps the first 3D model search engine - but for sure the first one I know:

 http://www.3dfilter.com/

 Type in what you are searching for and enjoy the result.

 But at the time the most models are low poly and from google .... just try it and see if it fit your needs.

My 2 ct:  Put out your old LEGO ® out and  your digicam and do your movie.  The software supported some of the most used midrange and professional cameras from NIKON or Canon like the 450D.

NVIDIA® OptiX -real time raytracing

OptiX

Interactive ray tracing on NVIDIA Quadro professional graphics solutions
The NVIDIA® OptiX™ ray tracing engine elevates applications to a new level of interactive realism by greatly increasing ray tracing speeds on NVIDIA® Quadro® FX professional graphics solutions using the NVIDIA® CUDA™ GPU computing architecture. What traditionally took minutes in software now takes milliseconds with the OptiX engine, allowing designers to interactively examine the play of light, reflection, refraction and shadow within real-world scenes on industry standard hardware.

What should I say. I think the future is near. Render scenes in real time via cloud computing ... incredible :-).
