THREE DIMENSIONAL VISUALIZATION OF FIRE SPREADING OVER FOREST LANDSCAPES A Thesis Presented to the Graduate School of Clemson University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science Forest Resources by Brian John Williams December 2008 Accepted by: Dr. Bo Song, Committee Chair Dr. William Conner Dr. Chris Post Dr. Victor Shelburne i ABSTRACT Previous studies in fire visualization have required high end computer hardware and specialized technical skills. This study demonstrated fire visualization is possible using Visual Nature Studio and standard computer hardware. Elevation and vegetation data were used to create a representation of the New Jersey pine barren environment and a forest compartment within Hobcaw Barony. Photographic images were edited to use as image object models for forest vegetation. The FARSITE fire behavioral model was used to model a fire typical of that area. Output from FARSITE was used to visualize the fire with tree models edited to simulate burning and flame models.

  • Qwhat Format Should I Use for Importing Into 3D Studio
    Canoma Frequently Asked Questions v1.0 August 1, 1999 Robert Seidl Q What format should I use for importing into 3D Studio Max ? A VRML2, 3D Studio reads the geometry, textures and creates a separate camera object for each source image in Canoma. Q I resized some of my source images in a project *after* I'd started the project. (The book says you can do this if you don't change the aspect ratio which I didn't) It failed. The images, now 50% their original size, didn't fit anymore, displaced from the upper left corner. Whats going on ? A Dont* do that ! Canoma doesn’t like resizing of source images. At all. The comment in the manual refers to edited textures that you pass to a pixel editor like Photoshop with the Canoma "brush" tool. For example, you may get a relatively lores texture on some surface, but you want to put some text on there (uhm, bigger than a 3 pt font :-) So you do an Image Resize in Photoshop, making sure you do not change proportions. Then you can add type in -say- 20 point fonts. Save it and the texture comes back, in higher resolution. Source images cannot have their dimensions changed at all once you got started. Very sorry. The reason is that our 3dv files currently save pin & bead coordinates in pixel coordinates, and obviously those are all wrong once you change your source image dimensions. One solution we are considering for the future is to write out floating point 0..1 coordinates.

  • An Overview of 3D Data Content, File Formats and Viewers
    Technical Report: isda08-002 Image Spatial Data Analysis Group National Center for Supercomputing Applications 1205 W Clark, Urbana, IL 61801 An Overview of 3D Data Content, File Formats and Viewers Kenton McHenry and Peter Bajcsy National Center for Supercomputing Applications University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Urbana, IL {mchenry,pbajcsy}@ncsa.uiuc.edu October 31, 2008 Abstract This report presents an overview of 3D data content, 3D file formats and 3D viewers. It attempts to enumerate the past and current file formats used for storing 3D data and several software packages for viewing 3D data. The report also provides more specific details on a subset of file formats, as well as several pointers to existing 3D data sets. This overview serves as a foundation for understanding the information loss introduced by 3D file format conversions with many of the software packages designed for viewing and converting 3D data files. 1 Introduction 3D data represents information in several applications, such as medicine, structural engineering, the automobile industry, and architecture, the military, cultural heritage, and so on [6]. There is a gamut of problems related to 3D data acquisition, representation, storage, retrieval, comparison and rendering due to the lack of standard definitions of 3D data content, data structures in memory and file formats on disk, as well as rendering implementations. We performed an overview of 3D data content, file formats and viewers in order to build a foundation for understanding the information loss introduced by 3D file format conversions with many of the software packages designed for viewing and converting 3D files.

  • Today We're Featuring Ken Gilliland Brief Background History: Where Did You Grow Up? Where Do You Live Now?…Etc?
    DAZ Forums: Watch for links to your favorite artists' profiles right here! Today we're featuring Ken Gilliland Brief background history: Where did you grow up? Where do you live now?…etc? "I was born in Glendale, California (just outside of Los Angeles) and now live in Tujunga, California (still just outside of Los Angeles). Tujunga is Tongva for "The Place where Mother Nature Lives". While close to Los Angeles, we get a huge variety of songbirds, coyotes, bobcats and an occasional mountain lion.” " How did you get into 3D art? "I got into digital art very early with a TI-99/4a home computer and started producing content in the mid 1980’s with a variety of educational programs, 2D graphics and games. My introduction to 3D came with a landscape program called VistaPro. When the original Poser and Bryce were released, I moved deeper into the 3D world but it wasn’t until the release of Poser 4 that I began producing 3D content. “ What is it that attracted you to DAZ 3D? "My history with DAZ 3D goes back to its roots. My first product submission went to Zygote. Just before it was to be released, the Poser people at Zygote moved to form DAZ 3D. During that transition, I moved to the newly formed “Vista Internet Products” with other 3D animal artists. That summer, I had lunch with the DAZ team at Siggraph and I have been happily at DAZ 3D ever since. So what attracted me to DAZ? Back then, as now, DAZ 3D has had a reputation for quality and simply the best content..
