Any written piece can be enhanced using powerful visual aids — learn how to make your own!Finding the perfect graphic to match your written ideas can oftentimes be a challenging task. Stock images just seem, well, like stock images, and trying to create your own stock images is a time-consuming process. Instead, you can create beautiful 3D graphics like the one above in next to no time!To accomplish this we’ll be using Autodesk Fusion 360. Fusion is at its core a #cad/CAM program, but it also incorporates a powerful and easy-to-use render engine for visualizing designs. We will leverage this to create our graphics. You can start by downloading Fusion. If you’re a student or educator of any kind you can use the software completely free of charge. If you’re not, you can download the generous (...)

Patterns and Techniques Used in the Houdini 3D Graphics Application by Mark Elendt, SideFX

Mark Elendt has been an active practitioner at SideFX software for over 25 years. He works primarily on low level libraries for Houdini but also is the chief author of the mantra production rendering engine. He was honored to receive the Scientific and Technical Academy Award of Merit for his contributions to Houdini.

From the description:

Earlier this year, Mark Elendt and SideFX were awarded the Scientific and Technical Award of Merit for their continued work and innovation on the Houdini Visual Effects software package. Not only has Houdini been used in all of the Visual Effects Academy Award winning films of the past 10 (...)

How I Built A Webgl Canvas Visualization With No Graphics Knowledge
►http://ianww.com/blog/programming/how-i-built-a-webgl-canvas-visualization-with-no-graphics-knowledge

I created Asterank.com, a database of economic value of all the asteroids in our solar system. It condenses about 600,000 data points to the top 100, but the numbers can be pretty difficult to grasp. I sought to create a browser-based visualization of our solar system that illustrates its abundance of resources and mesmerizing beauty. Prior to this, I knew nothing about 3D graphics or WebGL.
