3rd Dimension are delighted to announce the commencement of our first 3ds Max Design 3Day training course. Running from today (Wednesday 31st March) for 3 full days (8.30am – 6pm) the course promises to be a steep lurning curve for attendees but a very rewarding one.
The second of our 3day courses has been decided and we will post dates and details here this Friday.
3ds Max Design 2010 Training Course Set To Commence
Posted by 3rd Dimension in 3ds Max Training Courses on March 29, 2010
Our first 3day training course is set to commence on wednesday. With a full attendance its set to be a fantastic 3D learning curve for all those who signed up. Due to the popularity of our inaugural 3day course and the interest shown by a wide range of people we are set to announce details of the second course in the coming week.
From out of work professionals to architectural students the sheer volume of interest in our courses has inspired us to continue down the road of teaching 3D in conjunction with our core business of 3D Visualisation & 3D Animation. We will make sure to post about the course early next week and to give feedback from the attendees.
What is Augmented Reality!
Posted by 3rd Dimension in 3D News on March 24, 2010
You have all probably heard of the term augmented reality. For those that are not familiar with it it comes in various guises….From searching the locations of Houses for sale by simply panning your phone across an area that you happen to be standing in to the coming to life of objects in the palm of your hand. We were recently sent a link to a site that we think explains it quite nicely….Augmented Reality - A picture paints a 1000 words. See for yourself.
PS We particularly like the Avatar and BMW examples – enjoy

Budgets Dictate!

We love this short animation that integrates 3D and real life footage to produce a wonderful little movie about a new piece of architecture. We would love to have the opportunity to produce something like this….unfortunately budgets dictate!

BOXX Introduces New 24 Core renderBOXX!
Posted by 3rd Dimension in 3D News on March 18, 2010
As Tim Allen from Home Imrovement would say…Urgh urgh urgh, mopre power!
The 24 core option features up to 50% more processing power than a quad core model without a 50% increase in price. Featuring a multi-processor (Intel® Xeon® Processor 5600 Series running at up to 3.33GHz) and networked architecture, a renderBOXX dedicated rendering system is specifically designed to deliver outstanding rendering performance for intensive 3D graphics and animation workflows.
More good news: despite the additional cores and improved performance of the 24 core renderBOXX, the density and energy requirements remain the same. To understand what this means for your render farm, think of it this way: if you rely on quad core processors in order to obtain the rendering power of 80 processing cores, you have to purchase five renderBOXX modules. With six core processor technology, you get 96 cores (an increase of 16) in only four renderBOXX modules!
With fewer modules, space and energy requirements actually decrease. In addition to better efficiency, the 24 core renderBOXX provides the ultimate performance for heavily threaded applications like V-Ray®, mental ray®, Autodesk® Showcase® and others.
