Xyzmaker User Manual XYZmaker User Manual A complete 3D modeling software that lets you create, prepare and print – all in one 1. About XYZmaker XYZmaker is a desktop-based 3D design application by XYZprinting which allows you to make a real object from your imagination. It can import different file type such as “*.stl”, “*.amf”, “*.obj”, “*.ply”, and “*.3mf”, “*NKG”, “*.3CP”. This 3D modeling software has different set of objects and editing tools wherein you can combine and use to one another in order to create an extra awesome design. And to make your design more realistic and can be print easily, XYZmaker has its function to combine with da Vinci 3D printer series by XYZprinting. Another good thing about XYZmaker is that it can be used in different Platform. It doesn’t matter if you are using Windows, Mac or Linux. It was made it on different platform just for you! 1-1 System Requirements To ensure the compatibility of the Operating System that you are using, please check the following requirements on the table listed below. [Windows] Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 Software Operating [Mac] Requireme System Mac OSX 10.10, Mac OSX 10.11 and Mac OSX nts 10.12 [Linux] Ubuntu 14.04 and Ubuntu 16.04 Minimum Hardware Requirement - CPU: Intel i3 or equivalents (1.5GHz or Hardware Hardware faster), and Intel i5 or i7 is recommended Requireme Requirem - RAM: 4GB ents nts - STORAGE: 1GB free storage for installation. Extra 20 GB free storage for operation. Other Firmware and Other Third Party Software Considerations Standard common VGA driver on a computer operating system or a graphics card should be OpenGL 2.1 or newer version (provided by display card vendor) to avoid error on XYZmaker. About .Net Framework On Windows Operating System, XYZmaker software requires .Net Framework to improve its stability and smoothness. XYZmaker has indicated that using old versions may cause some failure in installation and/or malfunction of the software. It is highly recommended that the user should use the latest available version; 4.0 and above. Kindly refer to Microsoft website for more information about .Net framework. 1-2 Installation Instruction Before printing and designing 3D models, please install first XYZmaker. You can get the installer with the bundled disc. For additional information, software updates, technical support, kindly refer on XYZprinting online resources: http:// www.xyzprinting.com For Windows and Linux OS, just double click the installer then XYZmaker Setup wizard will display on screen. Just follow the instructions on the screen to finish the process of installation. On Mac OS, you will also need to double click the installer (*.dmg*) file format and drag it into Application alias. Congratulations! You’re installation is already complete! You can now launch XYZmaker and start creating and printing 3D object. Windows Mac 1-3 Supported Modeling SW For da Vinci Color, XYZmaker not only could do file slicing but also basic modeling.Furthermore, you can also use other 3rd party software to create color 3D models with texture for da Vinci Color! File Format Support – For Color Model XYZmaker and the da Vinci Color support the following file formats for printing 3D models: 1. .PLY (We only support vertex texture .ply, not texture materials.) 2. .OBJ – We support textured .OBJ files. This is the most common type of 3D color file being used. Information about the model and it’s texture is stored on 3 different files that should be in the same folder. These files types are: .OBJ, .MTL, and .PNG or .JPG – We also support vertex texture .OBJ files. You only need 1x .OBJ file to show the vertex texture. This type of file is usually created by 3D scanner. 3. .3mf Recommended Software Below is a list of software that we have tested. Using this software, you can create one or more supported files that can be opened using XYZmaker, our slicing and 3D modelling software: 1. Maya: You can create textured .OBJ files in Maya for XYZmaker with no extra post-processing required. Please make sure you export 1x .OBJ file, 1x .MTL file and at least 1x texture material in .PNG or .JPG image into the same folder. 2. Zbrush: Same as Maya. 3. Win10 Paint: You can create an .3mf file. No extra post-processing is required so you can open this file type directly in XYZmaker. Software that requires post-processing before being able to open in XYZmaker correctly: 1. Blender: You can create textured .OBJ file in Blender, but to ensure the applied materials will show up in XYZmaker, you need to link the texture material to your model. Below is a tutorial video that shows you how to link texture material. A. Import a file of 3D model B. Click on texture button to add a new texture material C. Locate the texture file to link it with the material D. Click on Object Mode -> Texture Paint to preview the texture and make sure the material is applied to your object E. Export the file as .OBJ F. Click on “Write Materials” at the export settings to export materials with your model file G. Import the .OBJ file again and click on texture to confirm you have linked the material successfully Not Fully Supported Software The software below doesn’t create supported files. 1. Mudbox: You can create an .OBJ file in Mudbox, but it doesn’t include an .MTL file. Please use different other software to create colored models for the da Vinci Color. Troubleshooting Q: I’ve got 1x .OBJ file, 1x .MTL file and at least 1x texture material in .PNG or .JPG image, but the texture still won’t show up in XYZmaker. A: Please make sure all files are placed in the same folder and check the texture material path written inside the .MTL file. You can use any type of text editor to open an .MTL file. The .MTL file contains the texture materials’ file name and path info. When opening the file, it should look like below: newmtl Material.001 Ns 96.078431 Ka 1.000000 1.000000 1.000000 Kd 0.640000 0.640000 0.640000 Ks 0.500000 0.500000 0.500000 Ke 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 Ni 1.000000 d 1.000000 illum 2 map_Kd monkey_texture.png Please pay attention to the last line of each material starting with map_Kd. Behind “map_Kd” follows the path and names of the associated texture material. Sometimes when you transfer and edit the file using different software, the texture material path will be missing or misspelled. Please compare the name of the texture material here with your texture material file name. Even a space or a character difference will cause XYZmaker not able to find your texture material. Sometimes the .mtl file doesn’t contain info on the last line. There is no “map_KD+ texture material name” line. It happens when you create a 3D model and forget to link its texture material. In this case, please go back to the software you used to create it to link the texture material and save your .OBJ file again. 2. Quick Start When XYZmaker launch, the startup page will display on the screen. It consists of Tips and About XYZmaker. Behind this window is a disabled main window where you can start creating your model. And to start making design, click Start it now! Click on Tips to get some idea on how to rotate the workspace using the mouse. To know the purpose of XYZmaker software, simply click on About Tab.

  • UKUI: a Lightweight Desktop Environment Based on Pluggable
    2016 International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Computer Science (AICS 2016) ISBN: 978-1-60595-411-0 UKUI: A Lightweight Desktop Environment Based on Pluggable Framework for Linux Distribution Jie YU1, Lu SI1,*, Jun MA1, Lei LUO1, Xiao-dong LIU1, Ya-ting KUANG2, Huan PENG2, Rui LI1, Jin-zhu KONG2 and Qing-bo WU1 1College of Computer, National University of Defense Technology, Changsha, China 2Tianjin KYLIN Information Technology Co., Ltd, Tianjin, China *[email protected] *Corresponding author Keywords: Desktop environment, Ubuntu, User interface. Abstract. Ubuntu is an operating system with Linux kernel based on Debian and distributed as free and open-source software. It uses Unity as its default desktop environment, which results in more difficulties of usage for Microsoft Windows users. In this paper, we present a lightweight desktop environment named UKUI based on UbuntuKylin, the official Chinese version of Ubuntu, for Linux distribution. It is designed as a pluggable framework and provides better user experience during human-computer interaction. In order to evaluate the performance of UKUI, a set of testing bench suits were performed on a personal computer. Overall, the results showed that UKUI has better performance compared with Unity. Introduction Linux is a freely available operating system (OS) originated by Linux Torvalds and further developed by thousands of others. Typically, Linux is packaged in a form known as a Linux distribution for both desktop and server use. Some of the most popular mainstream Linux distributions are Red Hat [1], Ubuntu [2], Arch [3], openSUSY [4], Gentoo [5], etc. There are several desktop environments available for nowadays modern Linux distributions, such as XFCE [6], GNOME [7], KDE [8] and LXDE [9].

    Published on Tux Machines (http://www.tuxmachines.org) Home > content > Kali Linux 2021.1 Release (Command-Not-Found) Kali Linux 2021.1 Release (Command-Not-Found) By Roy Schestowitz Created 24/02/2021 - 11:16pm Submitted by Roy Schestowitz on Wednesday 24th of February 2021 11:16:42 PM Filed under GNU [1] Linux [2] Security [3] How you choose to interact with Kali is completely up to you. You may want to access Kali locally or remotely, either graphically or on the command line. Even when you pick a method, there are still options you can choose from, such as a desktop environment. By default, Kali uses Xfce, but during the setup process, allows for GNOME, KDE, or no GUI to be selected. After the setup is complete, you can install even more. We have pre-configurations for Enlightenment, i3, LXDE, and MATE as well. [...] When we use Kali, we spend a significant amount of time using the command line. A lot of the time, we do it using a local terminal (rather than in a console or remote SSH). With the options of desktop environments, there are also choices when it comes to the terminals (same with what shell to use).
