Thinking @ Speed of Light

Trying out nvidia Mental Ray iray. Rendering time: 1:00:00 Simulated using MassFX for 3Ds Max 2013 I like the new iRay rendering engine in 3Ds Max 2013. All you do is set the amount of time you want the render the image for and Ta-Da. Ya it not perfect (some white spots all over the image) but i like it. MassFX is amazing. Super Easy to use and awesome results in very little time.

About a month back i posted about a project on controlling a pong game running on the computer with the help of a mobile phone (Samsung Wave S8500 - Bada OS) used for the paddles. Now we ( ankur and me) decided to take it to the next level and went on to make a generic game controller for any game running on the computer using android.The application name is " GAME ON " For this we make use of the phone's sensors and touch screen to generate different gestures and motion events; used these events to generate control data and sent the control data over a socket to the computer over a wireless network. Now using the received data (different for each motion event or gesture) the computer performs a certain task.

I was checking out the different kinds of simulations that can be done using 3Ds Max's reactor(havok) without the use of external plugins.Here are some of them (click on the links to watch): Rag-doll and Rigid-Body Simulation                 Took about 55 minutes to render using scanline.The model of the soldier is a downloaded one but i rigged it using the biped. Also all constraints for the rag-doll were done by hand and not using the script used here.The biped as well as the entire scene was made into a rigid body collection and simulated using reactor. Simulation time - 10 minutes. Soft-Body               To create the object as a soft body i added a reactorSoftBody modifier to it and then added it to the SBCollection.Then i made all the other objects as rigid bodies and simulated using reactor.Simulation time - 3minutes.
