1) It's not impossible, but very impractical. It's like saying "why not combine all the countries of the world into one huge country"?

2) There's no financial incentive. Why would ADSK sell you one product when they can sell you several?

why not combine all the capabilities of autocad, 3d max, impressions, revit and all your other programs into just one, as in just a single program that has everything under the sun. example you do 2d drawings in it, you create the 3d drawings in it, you do presentations or layout in it , you do special effects in it, you do rendering in it, it has all the material or texture library in it, it has all the people, tress plant and shubs in it like rpc, it hass the 3d blocks in it that you can download anytime like in SKETCHUP to be used in 3d model you created whether exterior or interior, it has all the video tutorials in it to learn it the fastest and easiest way and a lot more...................just produce one program, a program that allows you to do everything in it without transferring from one program to another.....................lets make things and life simple. just one program to solve everything.

Autocad could be together... but it is great...

Pretty insightful post. Never thought that it was this simple after all. I had spent a good deal of my time looking for someone to explain this subject clearly and you’re the only one that ever did that.Keep it up.

Re: AMD FirePro V7900 and NVidia Quadro 4000 in CATIA

Dtolios — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 23:20:24 -0000

Quadro 5000 is clearly not the V7900 competitor, costing around $1700 instead of $700. So even if it matched or surpassed it in performance, it would be an unfair comparison, just to make nVidia look better.

Re: NASA’s Perpetual Ocean

justjill — Fri, 30 Mar 2012 13:16:38 -0000

hi horace, thanks for commenting. and maybe there's something more significant to look at: why aren't more viz projects being accepted? i know the committees look for beautiful viz pieces -- or any viz pieces -- and i know we're always thrilled when they come in. (Saying that, please believe me when i tell you that when close to 1,000 pieces are submitted annually, we're thrilled when ANY good animation comes in.) Having been involved in the process for a long time, we've seen vast increases in quality each year, so yes, competition is fierce. Maybe you could help SIGGRAPH find more great viz content? Maybe there's a way SIGGRAPH can even help...I don't know....I do know that the deadline this year is 9 april, so there's still time to gather animations that would already be ready for submission. There's always room for improvement, and we strive to represent our audience and our community -- our entire community. If there's a way we can help, please let us know...

Horace Mitchell — Wed, 28 Mar 2012 22:26:27 -0000

Just to clarify, the original visualization was 20 minutes long and contained no music, title, etc. We liked it and thought it appropriate for SIGGRAPH, so we edited it down to 3 minutes by cutting and retiming, added the background music and titles and submitted it. We like submitting to SIGGRAPH, and hoped it would get in because we are proud of it, but it didn't. We mention that fact in the page that documents the visualization as an interesting fact, not as a comment on the judging process.

I would agree, though, that our kind of work (scientific data visualization) is increasingly difficult to get accepted by the Computer Animation Festival.

hi...this post just caught my attention, and as a juror for last year's Computer Animation Festival, I just wanted to comment. The creators of this piece note that "This visualization was created as a last minute entry for theSIGGRAPH 2011 computer animation festival; however, it was not accepted. " SIGGRAPH animations have been improving exponentially since the film show started in the early 80s. The Computer Animation Festival strives to showcase the best submitted animation in all categories. To accomplish this year after year, the SIGGRAPH community and its volunteer chairs, reach out to an increasing number of industries, creators and communities. Had the creators of this piece spent more time and effort on the graphics and the story; had they looked at other very beautiful viz pieces, had they been inspired by other extraordinary pieces of animation, had they told us a story using beautiful computer graphics; had they created a piece for the beauty, rather than "for the SIGGRAPH 2011 computer animation festival," I'm pretty sure the jury would have seen what it has seen in the animations they have accepted over the years that have gone on to garner multiple nominations and awards -- including the Academy Award, as was won by the 2011 SIGGRAPH Computer Animation Festival Best of Show. I implore you, rather than sit back and feel victimised by a dedicated team of volunteer jurors, please look at this as a challenge and a call to create beautiful, educational, interesting, entertaining computer generated graphics we can all look forward to watching at the 2012, 2013, 2014.....SIGGRAPH Computer Animation Festival.

Re: Image Comparisons: PNG, WebP, and HIPIX

Logan Murray — Sat, 17 Mar 2012 13:21:42 -0000

The WebP high quality photo compression was most certainly *not* higher quality than the JPEG. Look at any red-to-dark colour border areas, especially those with a curve. On the JPEG it looks nearly as smooth as the original; however on the WebP there is clear blocky artifacting.

Re: Xbox 360 better than PS3? Part one: hardware

Calebio127 — Sun, 11 Mar 2012 21:17:03 -0000

I have a ps3 and am seriously considering getting an xbox for 4 reasons: 1. All of my friends have an xbox (ALL of them) 2. The Xbox 360 250gb has wireless n built in (the Ps3 is stuck on b STILL) 3. The online experience is better overall; the players are better (very true), the online "system" is more fun), and online is smoother. 4. The games are generally more fun (I love Halo and Mass Effect).

I mean, the graphics are debatable but, I think I'm pretty much sold on getting an Xbox.
