3D in Depth: Lighting, Part 1







3D in Depth: Lighting, Part 1

3D in Depth: Lighting, Part 1 06/04/2004 09:12 AM

This month, we continue with our series on 3D concepts in depth. Skillfully applied, lighting can create a convincing scene, or if realism is your aim, create (in combination with geometry and materials) a scene that is virtually indistinguishable from real life. By Nathan Segal. 0604

707 panel as decorative lighting


707 panel as decorative lighting 03/31/2005 05:48 PM
Mark Frauenfelder: Todd Lappin has finished installing his 707 jet panel in his house. It looks incredible!
 7900634 Ef15D64C4D M This hangs on one wall of our living room, above the stairway that leads down to the garage. As you walk up the steps, you get this view.

My 707 has come a long way since I first found it at an aircraft scrapyard in Tucson. Here's a daylight view, shortly after I stripped off the paint. The illumination comes from rope lights mounted on the structurally-cool back side. (Next time you rest your head against a window-seat wall to snooze, this is basically what lies underneath.)

Hybrid Solar Lighting


Hybrid Solar Lighting 03/14/2005 06:02 PM

world_science.jpgOak Ridge National Laboratory, which conducts all of its research in tuneful four part harmony, has developed a system that uses sunlight (I actually started to write 'solar-powered light') pumped down fiber-optic tubes to complement an integrated system of flourscent bulbs. When there's sufficient light outside, a sensor cuts the electric blubs, letting the light shine in. Obviously, piping light from roofs to fixtures is something that's best done when the buildings are actually built, but it's a great idea all the same.

Of course, they don't mention that the light snakes down around your throat as you sit in satori, attempting to harness the power of mind to expand your forehead real estate. (Thanks, Boo Boo Prime!)

SystemX Modular Lighting Design


SystemX Modular Lighting Design 04/15/2005 09:59 AM

systemx_lighting_grids.jpgMoCo Loco shows us the SystemX modular lighting system. "SystemX is an X-shaped lightning module that can be interconnected with other SystemX modules to create lighting structures." The system can take the form of just two or three X's connected together, to a near-infinite expanse with zones of differing temperatures of light throughout. Very cool, even if there's no word as to retail availability or pricing.

Gravity Lamp -- lighting design concept


Gravity Lamp -- lighting design concept 09/22/2004 12:33 AM
Xeni Jardin: The "Gravity" lamp reclines and goes to sleep when you're not in the room. When you enter, it awakens, stands up, and turns on.

Fun Furde says, "The Gravity is equal parts cute and creepy. Cute because it's sort of like a pet that's happy to see you when you come home. Creepy because it's a lamp that moves by itself! No idea if they're actually going to make this or how much it will cost if they do. Or how they keep the lightbulb from smashing when it hits the ground."

Turtle offers realistic lighting
rendering for Maya
07/01/2004 08:50 AM
Swedish developer Illuminate Labs announced on Wednesday the release of Turtle, a new Maya lighting renderer that was in Beta testing at more than 200 sites during the previous 13 months. Turtle 1.0 can render scenes both within Maya and as a stand-alone application. It features raytracing and global illumination algorithms called LiquidLight, 3D motion blur, true depth-of-field, animation and batch rendering, support for Maya shading networks and more. Turtle requires Maya 6 and sells for US$1,199 per workstation license, which comes with a graphic user interface (GUI), and $999 per render node license, which lacks a GUI.

Depth


Depth 10/28/2003 11:09 PM
Today, I know the beauty of an unanswered question. It taunts those who don't have the right algorithm - and it can't be hacked. Even with a map on the floor, there is no direction. Regardless, the only way to hold onto something is to let it run free. And so I will - aimless with focus. Depth... is impossible to understand. But even if you could, would you want to? Even if you wanted to, could you? In a word: yes....

Philly CIO in Depth


Philly CIO in Depth 02/01/2005 09:13 PM
David Haskin at Mobile Pipeline interviews Philadelphia CIO Dianah Neff: The article is wide ranging and reveals more of the plan that will be unveiled Feb. 7. Neff argues--as I have--that it's disingenuous for giant telecoms to decry city tax-free financing because, first of all, that's not how Philadelphia will pay for this network (nor did they ever say they would use tax-free bonds for it), and second, the telecoms have received without complaint billions of dollars in subsidies. As one article has pointed out, Verizon received enormous payments in the last decade to encourage them to build services that they didn't. Instead of being penalized, the bill passed in Pennsylvania gives them another decade with more incentives. Neff tips her hand a little about the unique public-private partnership that she's been alluding to in recent weeks: I've been pushing the notion of vendor-neutral municipal networks that provide a place for all ISPs on an equal basis, including Verizon, and that don't put the city in the business of being a provider. Rather, a municipality becomes an enabler; the money for logical access is all spent in the private sector and non-profit sector. Neff cited the existence of hundreds of ISPs that she hopes will be part of the city's venture, which makes it sound an awful lot like a vendor-neutral network....

Legoland Tracking in Depth


Legoland Tracking in Depth 04/27/2004 09:27 PM
RFID Journal provides the detail on Legoland's kid-tracking Wi-Fi hardware: The magazine provides piles of additional detail about the Denmark theme park's system to let parents find their children if lost. The system combines BlueSoft's AeroScout system with software by KidSpotter, which on its Web site, is more explicit that the system can be used to track visitors patterns for better park optimization. About 1,600 children or 0.1 percent of the 1.6 million visitors, become separated from parents each year, so it's a small but significant problem. The rental fee is €3 per day; the entrance fee is mid-€20s. The park is installing 38 AeroScout units which cost from $3,000 to $4,000 each. The tags themselves cost about $85 each and the park is starting with 500 of them. Not mentioned in this article is that the tags use very tiny amounts of one-way signalling which allows their batteries to last for years....
