Real Time Visual Effects for the Technical Artist

Real Time Visual Effects for the Technical Artist

Visual effects (VFX) are one of the most complicated components of feature film and television creation. With advancements in such technologies as Ray Tracing and Virtual Reality the visual quality of the real-time rendering engine is now rivaling feature film. Real-time rendering requires years of programming experience with advanced understanding in math and physics. As the power of the real-time rendering engine improves so too do the interfaces for VFX creation. With limited technical understanding artists can create VFX with the push of a button and tug of a slider. As powerful as the interfaces are they can only expose a portion of the true potential of the rendering engine. Artists are limited by their understanding of the engine interface. Real Time Visual Effects for the Technical Artist is written for digital artists to explain the core concepts of VFX common in all engines to free them from interface bounds. Features: Introduces the reader to the technical aspects of real-time VFX Built upon a career of more than 20 years in the feature film VFX and the real-time video game industries and tested on graduate and undergraduate students Explores all real-time VFX in four categories: in-camera effects in-material effects simulations and particles This book is written to complement undergraduate- or graduate-level courses focused on the fundamentals of modern real-time VFX. Chris Roda is a Technical Art instructor at the Florida Interactive Entertainment Academy (FIEA) a graduate degree program in interactive real-time application development at the University of Central Florida. Early in his career Chris was a visual effects artist in the film and television industries where he contributed visual effects for films such as Spider-Man Titanic and The Fifth Element. Before coming to FIEA Chris was a CG Supervisor at Electronic Arts where he worked on video game titles such as NCAA Football and Madden NFL Football. In addition to teaching Chris works on generating tools and pipelines for the creation of immersive experiences: the amalgamation of the narrative of films the interactivity of video games and the immersion of theme parks.

Innovations in Hospice Architecture

Innovations in Hospice Architecture

This fully revised new edition of Innovations in Hospice Architecture responds to the need for an up-to-date theoretically based reference book summarizing key historical and recent developments with respect to this rapidly evolving building type. This Second Edition presents: an overview of the historical origins of the contemporary hospice the diverse variations on the basic premise of hospice care a review of the scant architectural literature published on this subject to date a broad series of case studies of exemplary hospices around the world planning and design concepts for palliative care environments. Case study projects are from Japan Canada Europe Africa Australia Indonesia China the United States and South America. Thirty-six case studies are individually presented and comparatively analysed and prognostications for the future of hospice architecture are examined. Each case includes floor plans technical drawings and beautiful full colour illustrations. Through an in-depth discussion of the inner profundities of hospice architecture the book presents this type as a humane genuine expression of the spiritual physical and psychosocial dimensions of the contemporary death and dying movement. Written with a broad audience in mind the book provides both technical and conceptual information blending narrative images and diagrammation so that the audience may understand and articulate the complexities of this specialized building type in professional practice contexts.

Renewable Energy Integration with Building Energy Systems A Modelling Approach

Renewable Energy Integration with Building Energy Systems A Modelling Approach

Construction as an industry sector is responsible for around one-third of the total worldwide energy usage and about 20% of greenhouse gas emissions. The rise in the number of buildings and floor space area for residential and commercial purposes has imposed enormous pressure on existing energy sources. Implementations such as efficient usage of building energy systems design measures utilization of local energy resources energy storage and the use of renewable energy sources to meet electricity demands are currently under development and deployment for improving the energy performance index. However integrating all such measures and the development of nearly zero-energy and zero-emission buildings is yet to be explored. In this book the different control techniques and intelligent technologies used to improve the energy performance of buildings are illustrated. Every building energy control system has a two-fold objective for energy and comfort requirements to achieve a high comfort index (for thermal visual air quality humidity and various plug loads) and increase the energy performance index. The most significant aspect in the design of a building’s energy control system is modelling. All the components methodologies and processes involved in developing a renewable energy-driven building are covered in detail. This book is intended for graduates and professionals working towards the development of a sustainable built environment using renewable energy sources. | Renewable Energy Integration with Building Energy Systems A Modelling Approach

Standards for Engineering Design and Manufacturing

Standards for Engineering Design and Manufacturing

Most books on standardization describe the impact of ISO and related organizations on many industries. While this is great for managing an organization it leaves engineers asking questions such as “what are the effects of standards on my designs?” and “how can I use standardization to benefit my work?” Standards for Engineering Design and Manufacturing provides hands-on knowledge for incorporating standards into the entire process from design bench to factory floor. The book’s five self-contained sections consider the scope of design and manufacturing standards for the design of discrete products standards for the manufacture of discrete products standards for the use of discrete products as well as support standards. The authors survey in detail the major standards-setting organizations and outline the procedure for developing standards. They consider standards from the perspective of product equipment and end-user using this as a platform to explain the economic benefits of standardization. Case studies in every section illustrate the concepts and offer practical insight for using standards in CAD/CAM selection of components process planning human/machine interaction and computer interfacing. With its modular approach and practical wisdom based on the authors’ years of broad experience Standards for Engineering Design and Manufacturing supplies the tools to incorporate standards into every stage of design and manufacturing.

The Psychology of Successful Trading Behavioural Strategies for Profitability

The Psychology of Successful Trading Behavioural Strategies for Profitability

This book is the first to demonstrate the practical implications of an important yet under-considered area of psychology in helping traders and investors understand the biases and attribution errors that drive unpredictable behaviour on the trading floor. Readers will improve their chances of trading successfully by learning where cognitive biases lead to errors in stock analysis and how these biases can be used to predict behavior in market participants. Focusing on the three major types of bias—Belief-Formation Quasi-Economic and Social—the book provides a rigorous discussion of the literature before explaining how each of these biases plays out in financial markets. The author brings together the fields of philosophical psychology and behavioral finance to introduce theory of mind providing readers with tools to predict biases in others as well as using these predictions to form optimal trading strategies for themselves. Readers will also learn to understand their own behaviors counteracting biases such as overconfidence and conformity—and the curse of their own knowledge—to strengthen trade performance. Pairing his skill and experience with an extensive research bibliography Short positions the foundational sources of cognitive biases alongside concrete examples experimental designs and trader’s anecdotes helping readers to apply theoretical guidelines to real-life scenarios. Shrewd professionals and MBA students will benefit from The Psychology of Successful Trading’s intuitive structure and practical focus. | The Psychology of Successful Trading Behavioural Strategies for Profitability
