Parametric design

Image
Fiction or reality? Fiction must be a credible lie. When creativity and knowledge come together, these fictional realities can be created. In nature there are thousands of references that seem idyllic and unreal. Technology brings us closer to nature. How could this have happened? Parametric design: the creation of shapes through parameters that determine different characteristics of said shape. They can be easily modified thanks to computer programs. Thus, obtaining incredible creations often associated with nature. Explain: let's imagine the repeat shape of a honeycomb. It is an hexagon, inscribed or circumscribed in a circle. One parameter would be the radius, as the radius varies, the size varies in the plane. Now let's add the parameter "z" let's say it is the height and add the thickness. These three parameters modify the shape of the hexagon. If you have mentally been able to enlarge the hexagon as in a fairground mirror (scale in all its parameters) I ...

School-ing. Corona Renderer

A few years ago, I used 3d Max , at first, with the Mental Ray render engine and then about 7 years ago I started working in an infographics office and met Corona Renderer. What seduced me about this CPU rendering engine were: how fast it was to configure and how easy or intuitively it works. Until now, like almost everyone in this world, I had seen the tutorials of AdánMartín or those of Corona's own YouTube . Back then, seeing some of these Adán tutorials, I realized that this great human encyclopaedia on visualization programs and render engines has a School!! It is called “School-ing” and within their courses they have “Project Development with Corona Renderer”. That course is taught by another great, Pedro Jesús Caballero . The school is in Madrid for the most extensive face-to-face courses, but there are many online options. What attracted me most about this course is the quality of the “Black Bone” project, since I am trying my luck alone creating my own business re...
