It is also helpful to create templates for use in your modelling program. A good underlay will provide the modeler with exact dimensions and subtle detail that might be overlooked if modeling from memory.
In this tutorial, we will import a template to use as our modeling underlay and apply it to an image plane in Maya. An image plane is a 2D object that is perpendicular to a particular camera view in Maya. The bitmap image (template) is connected to this image plane and aligned in the world space by editing the image plane’s attributes. Once this is set up, the modeling process is ready to begin.
The modeling technique used for the pill bottle requires that we provide one half of the bottle’s profile. We will begin by placing control vertices at key points along this profile to create a curve. Once completed, the curve can be edited to correct for anything missed in the drawing process, and CVs can be moved so that the curve more closely matches the profile in the underlay. This profile curve will be used as the input for a revolve operation to generate the surface.
We will also organize the project by naming the objects and assigning them to their own display layers.

The communication plugin is a powerful tool that let you import your 3dsMax animation into a World Builder landscape. You can see your animation with shadow and reflection, and now you can even see the World Builder trees shadow casting on the 3dsMax objects.
Here is how it work...
First you need to create a communication object in World Builder. In World builder, click on: Create4Communication Object4Max Communication Object (figure 1). This will create a communication object that you will use later to import your objects from 3dsMax. From the Create menu, select camera to create a new World builder camera if you wish to use a camera from World builder.
Second, if it is not started yet, you will need to start 3dsMax. The new communication plugin is no longer located in the Utilities section but in the Rendering/Environment menu. From 3dsMax, click on Rendering4Environment, to open the Environment dialogue box..

JADE is an Open Source project around which a community of users and contributors has grown up, and recently also an International Governing Board has been formed. Section “The JADE Community” outlines this community, describes the open source project and how its organization is evolving through the creation of the Governing Board.
Finally, Section “Why using JADE?” presents some considerations to highlight the advantages of JADE and which application domains it can prove most useful as enabling technology.
Download pdf JADE A White PaperThe Art of Unix Programming Teaching GuideThe Art Of Unix Programming (TAOUP) was written primarily to be used as a self-education tool for professional or enthusiatic amateur programmers. It was not designed to be a course textbook, but it may usefully be employed as one. This instructional guide is intended to help.
TAOUP is different from the general run of Unix tutorials, which tend to concentrate on the level of basic shell usage, application programming interfaces and other relatively low-level issues. TAOUP very deliberately focuses at a higher level: design principles, style, and the history that has informed both. It is not a replacement for an introductory UNIX textbook, but a valuable complement to same.
TAOUP could be appropriate in at least three different contexts:
• Courses on the Unix operating system. TAOUP is appropriate as a core text in a course on Unix, especially one oriented toward programmers (as opposed to, say, training system administrators).
• Intermediate-to-advanced courses on software engineering. The problems of complexity control in larger software systems, and the lesson Unix experience teaches about that control, are a core theme of the book.
• Courses on the history of computing. The material is presented in a historical frame, with an emphasis on technology as a human activity. The evolution of Unix makes an interesting lens through which to examine interactions between technology, economics, and subcultural history.

By the time you finish reading it, you will know how to implement what in my humble opinion, is the best way to use certain Google API Applications to enhance your own site.
This simple idea isn't new. It has been used by dozens, perhaps hundreds of sites. You may have even attempted to use this idea yourself, but gave up because of the amount of time involved, or how much it used to cost to attempt to put into practice ? it used to take weeks just to compile enough information to get started.
Now, several Google API applications make this particular kind of major site improvement much faster and easier to carry out.
You can now combine free tools that help you create an RSS feed about your site with the power of your free Google API key, to transform your site into an industry leader on your site's topic. You probably already knew that you can collect RSS feeds and have the content displayed on your site, and also create a feed of your site and its updates without spending any money. With your Google API key, you can now leverage the power of the RSS format in less time.
What is an RSS feed, and why does your site need one?
Briefly, its most common abbreviation is "Really Simple Syndication". The purpose of an RSS feed is toPHP - Advanced TutorialVery rare since a MySQL client library is distributed with PHP and built into PHP by default. However, it is possible to build PHP without MySQL support. Some possible fixes:

As a presenter, you can record audience feedback, make notes, add diagrams and save your work directly into your PowerPoint file or into Notebook™ software.
Before You Start
Before you begin your presentation, ensure your computer is turned on and the SMART Board interactive whiteboard is connected and oriented. The SMART Board icon should be visible in the Windows Notification Area at the bottom right of your screen, indicating that your SMART Board software is running. If the SMART Board icon is not visible, select Start > Programs > SMART Board Software > SMART Board Tools. The SMART Board icon will appear in the Windows Notification Area.
This Hands-On Practice assumes you have a basic understanding of the Microsoft Windows® operating system. You may find it useful to think of how you normally work with a computer as you go through the lesson. When working at your computer, for example, you use left-, right- or double-clicks, depending on the function you want to perform. Use the SMART Board interactive whiteboard in the same way. If you get confused, simply think about what you would do at your computer, and then replicate these actions on the interactive whiteboard.

The process is similar for previous versions of Maya only the menu names will be different. As with most things in Maya there are probably many different ways to do this but this method works well for me and is reasonably quick to setup.
1. SETTING UP THE SHADER NETWORK
- First open the hypershade window and from the Maya nodes list MMB drag a Surface Shader node into the work area
- Now click on the "Create Maya Nodes" button at the top of the nodes list and change it to MentalRay nodes.
- Then under the textures tab MMB drag an 'mib_amb_occlusion' node onto the work area
- Now connect the 'OutValue' of the Occlusion node to the 'OutColor' of the surface shader. This is the default connection between these 2 nodes so you can do this by simply holding down Ctrl and MMB dragging the occlusion node over the shader node.
2. SETTING UP YOUR SCENE
- In order to get good results from Ambient Occlusion the scene environment must be white. To do this open the Outliner window and select the Persp camera. In the attribute editor under the Environment tab slide the Background Color to 100% white
- Now open the Render Globals window and select MentalRay as your renderer and Production as the quality preset. Now change the multi-pixel filter to "Lanczos".
(this will automatically change your Quality preset to 'Custom' like in the picture)
