This will be the first International meeting held in Spain, where researchers from Archaeology and Graphics fields will work together on Virtual Archaeology, concerning all its possibilities. The participation of well-known researchers on this field will shape a very interesting meeting.

The digital artist Kenneth A. Huff let me know that:
the first three works in my new Contemplations series of DVDs are available exclusively at www.kennethahuff.com (a.k.a. www.itgoesboing.com).
The works of the Contemplations series are created to serve as balance to the rapid-cut, rapid-fire nature of popular culture and the frenetic pace of contemporary […]

3D Recursions is quite a singular forum discussing math and science applied to the generation of beautiful procedural, algorithmic 3D images.
Various forum areas are devoted to the discussion of: Strange Attractors, LSystems, LightWave, Digital Fusion and Vlam, Chaoscope. Moreover there is a special section dedicated to the official support for LightWave plugins: Aurora Attractor, […]

Jason Savalon. Still Life at the Speed of Sunrise 2005
Jason Savalon. Working around art, information technology, and daily life.
Using software processes of his own design, Jason Salavon generates and reconfigures masses of communal material to present new perspectives on the familiar. Though formally varied, his projects frequently manipulate the roles of individual elements arranged in […]

This paper introduces a shading model for light diffusion in multi-layered translucent materials. Previous work on diffusion in translucent materials has assumed smooth semi-infinite homogeneous materials and solved for the scattering of light using a dipole diffusion approximation. This approximation breaks down in the case of thin translucent slabs and multi-layered materials. We present […]

Procedural modeling of cities.
Modeling a city poses a number of problems to computer graphics. Every urban area has a transportation network that follows population and environmental influences, and often a superimposed pattern plan. The buildings appearances follow historical, aesthetic and statutory rules. To create a virtual city, a roadmap has to be designed and a […]

According to Windipundit, Google is releasing to selected Keyhole users a beta version of the Google Earth application.

Since it is an actual software program running on your local PC, Google Earth is much faster and smoother in rendering satellite maps of the entire Earth than GoogleMaps. It initially draws a blurred version of the region […]

This library is aimed at doing computer vision by finding ‘blobs’ on an image , that is to say areas whose brightness is above or below a particular value. It allows to compute blobs’edges as well as blobs’bounding box. However, this library does not perform blob tracking, it only tries to find all blobs each […]

A German research institute has developed a screen that requires no special glasses to display three-dimensional images and can be viewed even from the side.
