(ex) version 3.04 • RIB file is a metafile. – RIB can be regarded as a set of commands for RenderMan to execute. – If some essential information are absence, RenderMan uses the default settings. • RIB file can be generated – with 3D animation packages (Maya, 3DS Max, Houdini, …). – with programming interface (C/C++, Python, Java, …) – by hand using text editors (Notepad, Wordpad, vi, …) • A new RIB can be generated from existing once by cutting and pasting sections of them. • Whitespace (tabs, newline characters, blank) are ignored. Translate 0 0 5 Translate Translate Translate 0 0 5 Sphere 1 -1 1 360 Sphere 1 -1 1 360 0 0 5 0 Sphere 0 1 -1 1 360 5 Sphere 1 -1 1 360 • The character “#” is used to precede comments. – RenderMan ignores everything starting with a # till the end of the line containing it. • In RIB files, no forward referencing is allowed. – You cannot mention something first and then provide a definition for it later in the file. – The camera parameters and image options must come before scene definition. – Lights, materials and transforms must come before objects. RenderMan for Artists wanochoi.com Coordinate System • Left handed camera coordinate system – The origin at the imaging plane – X-axis to the right – Y-axis up – Z-axis “into” the screen • When the thumb of the left hand is pointed along the axis from the origin, the fingers curl to point in the direction of positive rotation. Y Z X RenderMan for Artists wanochoi.com Disk Examples • A Minimal RIB file Display “result.tiff” “file” “rgb” WorldBegin WorldEnd – Image resolution: 640 x 480 – Orthographic projection – A matte white surface shader which does not require light sources – A light located where the camera is and facing where the camera faces • Draw a disk Display “result.tiff” “file” “rgb” WorldBegin Disk 1 0.5 360 WorldEnd – A quadric is always declared with its center at the origin. – If you want the object to be moved to someplace else, you have to give the appropriate transformation first, then declare the geometry. • Move the disk Display “result.tiff” “file” “rgb” WorldBegin Translate 0 0 3 Disk 1 0.5 360 WorldEnd RenderMan for Artists wanochoi.com Quadrics • Primitives = Pre-defined surfaces = Build-in library of shapes – Each quadric has its own set of parameters describing its shape.

  • The World of Interactive Media Systems and Applications Mobile, Cloud-Based Analytics, and User Engagement Are a Must
    The world of interactive media systems and applications Mobile, cloud-based analytics, and user engagement are a must Sam B. Siewert December 10, 2013 Digital media is rapidly integrating with interactive systems and social networking. For example, television is now an experience that includes social networking for many viewers, who either use their smartphones on an ad-hoc basis or by using a device or social-networking tool provided by the cable or telecommunications network or content provider. Cable TV master facilities (headends) and digital artists need to evolve quickly to meet this growing demand to keep their content and services relevant. This article describes tools and methods for Linux® servers for digital media and interactive systems. Digital video and data-in-motion analytics have evolved quickly as cable systems have gone digital (nationwide and globally), as digital cinema has become ubiquitous with new features such as 3D, and as mobile digital media access has become available for smartphones and tablets. Just over a decade ago, most cable providers offered digital cable as well as high-definition and on-demand programming. The trend continues with social networking integration with digital cable and with Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS), which provides Internet service over a cable modem. At the same time, Netflix, Hulu, Gaikai (a Sony subsidiary), NVIDIA Cloud, Gamasutra, and many other purely Internet-based content and interactive on-demand services or development networks have emerged (see Related topics for more). Cinema has evolved so that globally and in the United States, with the 3D Digital Cinema Initiative, most cinema is now entirely digital, and film is truly a thing of the past, along with vinyl records and tape.

  • Granja De Render Para Proyectos De Diseño 3D
    Universidad de las Ciencias Informáticas. Facultad Regional Granma. Título: Granja de render para proyectos de diseño 3D. Autora: Dallany Pupo Fernández. Ciudad de Manzanillo, junio 2012. “Año 54 de la Revolución”. RESUMEN En la actualidad, la realidad virtual se ha convertido en uno de los elementos más importantes en la industria del cine, gracias a ello, se puede apreciar en una pantalla, la simulación de un mundo real a través de uno virtual. El renderizado de animaciones en tres dimensiones necesita una gran capacidad de cálculo, pues requiere simular procesos físicos complejos, a esto se debe el elevado tiempo que tardan estas producciones en ser completadas. Las granjas de render han surgido como alternativa y solución para este problema. El presente trabajo se desarrolla producto a la inexistencia de una granja de render en la Facultad Regional Granma que dificulta la obtención de proyectos de diseño 3D en el menor tiempo posible. Palabras Claves: 3D, Granja de render, Realidad Virtual.

  • A Framework for Creating a Distributed Rendering Environment on the Compute Clusters

In order to reduce the total render farm manager in a typical compute cluster environment rendering time, rendering of individual frames can be such as a university. Usually, both a render farm and a compute distributed to a group of computers on the network. An cluster use different queue managers and assume total control animation studio, a company dedicated to production of over the physical resources. But, taking out the physical animated films, typically has a cluster of computers dedicated resources from an existing compute cluster in a university-like to render the virtual scenes. This cluster of computers is called environment whose primary use of the cluster is to run numerical a render farm. simulations may not be possible. It can potentially reduce the overall resource utilization in a situation where compute tasks B. Objectives are more than rendering tasks. Moreover, it can increase the In a university environment, it can be complicated to do the system administration cost. In this paper, a framework has been rendering because many researchers do not have access to a proposed that creates a dynamic distributed rendering dedicated machine for rendering [6]. They do not have access environment on top of the compute clusters using existing render to a rendering machine for a long time as it may become farm managers without requiring the physical separation of the unavailable for other research use.

  • Dr. Queue Com Blender Um Render Farm GNU
    Dr. Queue com Blender Um Render Farm GNU Por Alexandre da Silva costa [email protected] 1 Este artigo tem como intuito ensinar como usar o consagrado software de animações, blender com o render farm Dr.queue. Render Farm é um conceito muito próximo do cluster, porém em um cluster as aplicações tem seus processos subdivididos pelas maquinas de uma rede, para que cada uma faça uma parte e entregue o resultado final, tornando o processamento de aplicações complexas muito mais rápidas . No caso do Render farm, não dividimos os processos de uma aplicação, mas sim os quadros de uma animação. Chamamos de quadro as imagens estáticas que serão exibidas, formando uma animação, assim como são feitos desenhos animados convencionais, que serão posteriormente unidas à um arquivo de vídeo que exibirá os mesmos em sequência . Os resultados praticos, se você tiver uma maquina que renderiza uma animação em 2 horas, se tiver outra identica, fara o mesmo serviço em aproximadamente 1 hora, se tiver 8 maquinas o serviço estara pronto em 7,5 minutos e assim por diante. Para quem não conhece, explicarei o que é renderização. Quando modelamos em um software em 3d usamos sistemas vetoriais para criar nossos modelos, como é feito em programas mais simples como inkscape ou corel Draw, porém em programas 3d usamos sistemas um pouco mais complexos, como opengl, que conseguem gerar vetores 3d para gerarmos nossos modelos, este tipo de técnica necessita de um processador e placa de vídeo razoável para que possamos criar modelos complexos, como seres humanos, animais, prédios, carros.
