K-3D : 3D modeling, Animation and Rendering System...

K-3D is the free-as-in-freedom 3D modeling, animation, and rendering system. K-3D features a robust, object-oriented plugin architecture, designed to scale to the needs of professional artists, and is designed from-the-ground-up to generate motion-picture-quality animation using RenderMan-compliant render engines. We strongly recommend the Aqsis render engine for use with K-3D.



K-3D´s innovative interactive tutorial system will introduce you to basic use of the program. New tutorials can easily be recorded and shared with the rest of the community.

K-3D allows you to create and edit documents in multiple realtime OpenGL solid, shaded, texture-mapped views. You can even model, animate, and interact with animations while they play back for maximum productivity!

AutoCAD® Civil 3D® civil engineering software...

AutoCAD® Civil 3D® civil engineering software uses building information modeling (BIM) to help civil engineering project teams evaluate more what-if scenarios earlier in the design process and get transportation, land development, and environmental projects done faster and more efficiently.

AutoCAD Civil 3D helps civil engineers optimize project performance with geospatial analysis to identify the best project site, stormwater analysis for more sustainable designs, quantity takeoff and dynamic earthwork calculations to optimize material usage, and 3D visualizations to better understand project impacts on environment.

The AutoCAD Civil 3D Importer for Trimble Business Center - HCE

The AutoCAD® Civil 3D® Importer utility offers a fully automated data exchange solution that enables the direct import of Civil 3D model data into Trimble® Business Center - HCE software. This utility extends the capabilities of Trimble Business Center - HCE to read intelligent Civil 3D model elements such as alignments, profiles, COGO points, and roadway corridor models. The result is a more streamlined process that helps construction professionals use civil BIM data for construction data preparation and site-positioning and grade-control operations.

* Retains the intelligence of the Civil 3D source model and facilitates creation of a construction-ready 3D model
* Offers improved DWG file format support (including RealDWG™)
* Minimizes the need to create specific files for contractors before they start the bidding or construction process

Additional Information

The AutoCAD Civil 3D Importer for Trimble Business Center - HCE requires the installation of any language version of Trimble® Business Center - HCE version 1.4.

The Importer utility can access 2010 or earlier DWG files, and replaces the standard AutoCAD® DWG import capability that ships in Trimble Business Center - HCE. The installation of AutoCAD Civil 3D is not required to use this utility.

Massive Prime 10 User Education Bundle...

"SCAD has a commitment to incorporating sophisticated technology into our curriculum. We believe that Massive software will give our students an advantage in the employment marketplace."

Peter Weishar, Dean, School of Film and Digital Media - Savannah College of Art & Design



For educators we offer the Massive Prime 10 User Education Bundle. The bundle includes 10 licenses of our flagship product Massive Prime, 12 months maintenance, the Edu version of Ambient, Loco & Stadium Agents, and comprehensive courseware designed to allow easy integration into existing training programs. Please note that Massive Jet is not available for Education, and one (1) tutor or teacher submits support requests for all students at education site.
The Massive Prime Education Bundle is $9,999 USD for the ten seat bundle, $5,999 for the five seat bundle and additional licenses can be purchased for $899 USD per user.



Courseware and first year Upgrades and Support are included with Massive Prime Educational Licenses. After the first year, the annual cost of renewal is $250 USD per seat.

Massive Fundamentals Courseware

Lessons sit side-by-side with Massive for convenient reference. This course provides the learner with an introduction to Massive Software. Students will learn how to use Massive's fuzzy logic interface to create autonomous agents from scratch, beginning with a simple crowd of boxes and eventually creating human agents with motion captured actions. Students are also introduced to rigid body dynamics, geometry skinning, variation, and cloth simulation, giving them a strong overview of Massive's feature set. This is a 40 hour course including 13 evaluations.

Massive Jet - AI-driven animation available to all animation and visual effects professionals.

Massive Jet is designed with a streamlined and easy to use workflow to make AI-driven animation available to all animation and visual effects professionals. Using agents from Massive's Ready-to-Run Library™ or those created in Massive Prime™ you can fill a stadium, get thousands of digital actors to walk over a hill, or create a huge battle set in medieval times.



Features

Body Editor

The Body Editor provides the workflow to build and customize skeletons, geometry, cloth, and materials. It enables the automated variation of agent proportions (skeleton) and appearance (geometry, shaders, and texture maps).

Scene Editor

The Scene Editor provides the workflow to control and direct cameras, terrain and agents. Tools are provided for both general and specific control and direction of agents. Crowds in a stadium can easily be made to clap and cheer at the right time with the general agent controls. You can also control the parameters of individual agent placement and behavior.

Natural Senses

Massive is based on artificial life technology. Massive characters use a patented vision process, and a sense of hearing and touch that allows them to respond naturally to their environment.

Massive Prime - Agents for Animation and Visual Effects...

Academy Award-winning Massive Prime™ is the complete solution for authoring, directing and rendering custom autonomous agents for animation and visual effects.



The intuitive node-based interface of Massive Prime™ allows artists to interactively create AI-enabled agents. The Brain Editor AI toolset gives artists the freedom to build custom responses for the specific behavior they want to simulate, without any programming.

The Motion Tree workflow and integrated Action Editor allow key-framed or motion-captured animations to be linked to the brain.

Massive Prime™ and Massive Jet™ both include Smart Stunts™ and our GPU-accelerated renderer, Massive Velocity™.



Features

Motion Tree Editor

The Motion Tree is used to design the agent's motion, which then becomes an integral part of the agent. The output from the Motion Tree can then be used as a take list for the mocap session. This Motion Tree workflow, along with the integrated Action Editor, allows key-framed or motion-captured animation clips to be actions linked to the brain.

Brain Editor

The intuitive node-based Brain Editor interface allows artists to interactively create AI=enabled agents without any programming. The AI toolset gives artists the freedom to build custom AI logic for the specific behavior they want to simulate.

API and Scripting

The Massive Application Programmer's Interface (API) allows the development of C/C++ plug-ins. Python and TCL scripts can be executed either in the Massive text port or from an agent's brain.

3Delight for Softimage 2.0 released

3Delight is a fast, high quality, RenderMan®-compliant renderer designed to produce photo-realistic images in demanding production environments. The renderer was introduced to the public in the year 2000 after being used for more than a year as the sole renderer in a sister production company. It is now widely used and earning a reputation as a benchmark in rendering technology.

Some of its features include ray tracing, global illumination (including photon mapping, final gathering and high dynamic range lighting and rendering), realistic motion blur, depth of field, complete geometry support (including efficient rendering of hair and fur), programmable shaders, quality antialiasing and antialiased shadow maps. Advanced features include Ri filtering, network caching and highly customizable workflow. It is available for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X.

DNA Research announces the release of 3Delight for Softimage 2.0, the second major evolution of the fully integrated version of its RenderMan-compliant renderer for Autodesk® Softimage (formerly SOFTIMAGE|XSI) 3D animation software for visual effects and games production. Building on top of an already solid baseline, this new version further improves integration with Softimage software and introduces support for the new Interactive Creative Environment (ICE) technology, allowing the rendering of massive amounts of particles with 3D motion-blur and depth of field.
