  1. Sent you all a message with my email address.
  2. 5 of us... At a minimum we should meet before SIGGRAPH. I'm in Surrey.
  3. I guess I'm more of a casual illustrator, whatever that means. The Vancouver architectural illustrator population is now increased to 2.1 How about coffee after work? Santiago
  4. Hi Blueshift, if you are still interested in the topic, send me an e-mail: santiago.diaz.ames@gmail.com cheers
  5. Thanks for your response Lucho. This is an old thread, but I'd like to eventually get around to finishing this house some day. In the meantime, seeing that we are both from Arequipa, it'd be nice to hear from you. My email is san_tiago@hotmail.com, feel free to write in Spanish or English.
  6. Hola santiago me dio mucho gusto saber de otro arequipeno por ahi, dime a que te dedicas a ver si estamos en contacto

  7. Hi Eduardo, I was born in Peru and I like keeping in touch with peruvians that work in 3D. I work in a design-build company in Vancouver, Canada, so I guess I can only reach you guys in Peru via email and online forums: san_tiago@hotmail.com Hope to hear from you soon!
  8. Hi Luis, I'm also from Arequipa. I work in a design-build company in Vancouver, Canada. Though I like keeping in touch with peruvians that work in 3D, especially people from Arequipa. Let's get in touch: san_tiago@hotmail.com
  9. They don't have the english version up yet, and it took me a second to realize that all the images in their portafolio section have little pan buttons at the top and bottom. Very nice stuff: http://www.architecturalvizion.com
  10. In the design-build company I work at, we use Inventor for modeling and creating shop drawings, even though it is a program made for the manufacturing industry. So far we can manage with the workarounds required, but there's always an interest in finding better, more efficient ways to work. From what I understand, Revit is not meant to produce shop drawings. The automatic creation of views and sections is something that Inventor does well, perhaps except for lineweights which are not assigned in an architectural fashion. Inventor is also fully parametric, it also creates BOM's automatically, and its API is more mature, or so I've been told by third-party developers, I do some minor programming only. We use Autodesk VIZ + VRay for renderings already anyway, so that topic is not of our interest thus far. Also, our projects are so different one from another, that we hardly have any use for standard objects, and those already available in Revit, which I've been able to see so far such as doors, walls, windows, would not be of any use to us. We design structures, in which we heavily use wood, and from what I've seen Revit Structure is meant for concrete and steel. You might ask then, why do we consider Revit at all? Basically, because we haven't seriously looked into it yet, and also because it is an AEC application, whereas Inventor is a mechanical engineering program. So my question is, does anyone here have experience with both Revit and Inventor, and could you shed some light on the topic of using both applications together? I signed-up for a course at the AU 2007 about working with Revit and Inventor, it was called bridging the gap, I think. Unfortunately I couldn't make it to the AU until Wednesday afternoon, I'm just really busy lately. I read the handouts, but it's not the same as being at the actual course. Perhaps someone here attended the course and could tell me a bit about it. Also, if anyone here has already gone through the process of exchanging models between Revit and Inventor, I have a lot of questions to ask! I'm pretty sure that with some basic programming I can set-up a workflow via which I can control a project which is modeled in both Revit and Inventor, using external files, where each model has a different focus and scope (Revit for coordination and structural design, Inventor for full model and fabrication). The Inventor side of it is the easy part, I already know how I'd do it, it's the Revit side I'm not familiar with yet, since I've never used it before. According to what I've read, shared parameters in Revit are stored in an external tab-formatted file, which I think is all I really need to make this plan work. But perhaps I'm missing the big-picture of this. Although I'm quite convinced that Revit lacks the powerful modeling tools that Inventor already has, maybe there is still the chance that Revit could replace Inventor in our workflow.
  11. I guess that would be around March. We just purchased a VIZ licence, and Vray! I guess we'll do without the performance enhancements that max will soon boast of, but the wait doesn't seem that long.
  12. 3dsmax 9 has just been announced, showing important speed increases and 64-bit support. Does VIZ 2007 have 64-bit support? If not, when was VIZ 2007 launched? I ask this, because instead of purchasing VIZ now, perhaps I may suggest that the company where I work purchase 3dsmax, because I don't know when the next version of VIZ will come out, and I'd like the new speed increases and 64-bit support as soon as possible. I wonder if anybody has asked this to Autodesk yet?
  13. I guess this point may already have been made, but it's worth reiterating. If someone of this forum is attacked by another forum member, but by email, not in the actual forum, then it should be taken care of amongst them two, there's no need to make a private matter like that go public. On the other hand, if someone attacks here on the forum, that's an entirely different matter. I haven't seen any of these posts, but I'm really glad it's been resolved.
  14. I was wondering if anybody here has a texture of Douglas Fir, and is willing to share it. It should be of fairly high resolution so that I can have room to make it seamless. It would be even better to also have a texture of the lumber's ends as well. I'll probably end up looking for some lumber to take pictures of, I need pictures of say lumber of an 8x12 section. Though it'd be great if any of you already have some images.
  15. I agree, very nice work! You should have been nominated for best viz animation for Doutor GINZA, I think it is at the same quality as some of the nominated animations, although it is a bit short, but very artistic. Great work
