Latest update on Destruction Project

Latest version of the project - I have added the impact of the metorite. Also a little bit more animation has been done - a lot more tweaking is needed. A render will follow in the next couple of weeks (hopefully)!

Custom Renderman Shaders & Realflow

I been writing a custom Renderman shader - it still needs work but here is the current code and examples as to what it looks like!

Video Examples:

Here is the code:

surface im_mottleNoise(

          uniform color myColor = color(0,1,0);

          uniform float myOc = 0.1;

          uniform float roughness = 0.1;

          float Km = 1.0;

          float face = 1.0;

          float mag = 0.0;

          uniform float freqency = 1.0;

)

{

          float size = 1.0,

          magnitude = 0.0,

          i;

          point P2;

          P2 = transform ("shader", P);

          for (i = 0; i <6.0; i+= 1.0){

                   magnitude += abs (.5 - noise (P2 * size) * freqency) / size;

          }

          P2 = P - normalize (N) *(magnitude * magnitude * magnitude) *Km * mag;

          N = calculatenormal(P2);

          normal Nn = normalize (N);

          vector In = normalize(-I);

          normal Nf = faceforward(Nn,-I);

          normal Nb = faceforward(Nn,I);

          //Oi = myOc * diffuse(Nf * -face);

          //Oi = myOc * face + specular(Nf, In, roughness);

          Oi = myOc;

          Ci = myColor *Oi * diffuse(Nb) + specular(Nf, In, roughness);

}

Raspberry Pi Testing!

I received my Raspberry Pi earlier in the week, just getting used to the seeing a computer so small!!!

Below are some images of the Raspberry Pi. I have tested out a few basic Python scripts. Great Fun :)
