BMW have recently launched their new Z4, but as well as a glossy TV spot, the company are deploying a complex social media campaign.
Found a couple of great tutorials on YouTube and Blue Sfear so I created a simple 3D scene using a High-Dynamic Range Image (HDRI).
This is a video I produced by following the Motion Builder 7.5 tutorial, exporting the animation into 3D Studio Max 9, adding a simple camera move then rendering.
I've been playing with Volume lights. There's a banding effect in the shafts of light and I'm not sure why it's there. I imagine it's one of my settings [3DS Max file]. Any suggestions welcome.
I downloaded the Lighting tutorial demo from 3D Quakers.com and produced this simple image. Attached to this post is the 3D Studio Max 9 file if you want to have play.
On Saturday morning Jenson Button qualified in first place for the Malaysian Grand Prix ahead of Jarno Trulli. At one stage the gap separating pole and second place was just 1/1000th of a second. I was watching the BBC's Eddie Jordan explain what that meant in real terms. He said it equated to the width of match.
Bored waiting for the Grand Prix to begin on Sunday morning, I thought I'd check.
Length of the circuit: 3.444 km
Truli qualifying time: 1:35.273 or 95.273s
Average speed: 3444/95.273 = 36.149 m/s
Distance covered each 1/1000th of a second: 0.036m = 3.61cm
On Sunday morning, while Jenson Button was leading the Australian Grand Prix in Melborne, I had a chance to put in some fast laps too! I visited Silverstone for a single seater driving experience.
At 140bhp these Formula Ford cars lack the power of an F1 car, but they do capture something of the excitement. Capable of accelerating from 0-60 in 4.5seconds, they will do about 100mph before hitting the rev limiter in fourth. Absolutely brilliant fun!
