Tips and tricks from a 3D generalist for creating the final image. From materials and shaders, to lighting, to render engines, to image formats, to compositing and post production, we will cover all aspects of creating better looking renderings.
epic software group, inc. is a 23 year old multimedia development company located in The Woodlands, Texas (www.epicsoftware.com). The company's work includes 3D Animation, Video Production, and Panoramic photography for Commercial/Industrial applications. Their clients are generally from the energy industry and include many service and manufacturing companies in and around the Houston area.
Last year epic developed a 3D "walk through" using the Unity 3D game engine. This online application allows a viewer to explore a drilling rig just as you would in a 3D game environment. This application was developed through HARC (Houston Advanced Research Council) from a grant by the General Land Office of Texas. epic is now developing applications for training, safety simulations, and marketing purposes. The use of powerful game engines for interactive 3D environments is poised to take off over the next couple of years. epic software group will provide 3DCamp attendees with a sneak peek into the future.
In a darkened room on the fourth floor of Texas A&M’s Langford Architecture Center, construction science students using Building Information Modeling software can navigate through the bowels of a virtual building while visually immersed amid an array of 12 46 inch monitors.
Unveiled at an Oct. 10 2012 ribbon cutting event, the TAMU Department of Construction Science's newest facility, the “BIM-CAVE,” provides a unique high-tech vantage point for viewing details of an imagined building and its infrastructure, including heating, ventilation, air-conditioning, plumbing, electrical and other systems. “BIM CAVE” is an acronym for “Building Information Modeling Computer-Aided Virtual Environment.”
Come learn about the BIM CAVE from Dr. Julian Kang, holder of the History Maker Homes Endowed Professorship at A&M.
