GEOCONTROL (三維地形生成軟體)

The revolutionary concept of GeoControl2 opens up totally new dimensions of creating virtual landscapes.

The unique combination of more artistic tools and semi-scientific algorithms makes it possible to create realistic, breathtaking landsapes, based on conceptual layouts or on fantasie.

The creative tool "isolines" is completly selfdeveloped and offers the first time the opportunity, to creatively control the form of the landscape.


The interventions are none destructive, layerbased and you can allways, also afterwards, readjust, switch off or change an isoline or layer.

The artistic "shape" filters give the landscapes a typical structure, like round hills or ridged mountains.
The semi-scientific erosion algorithms turn these outlines into fantastic realistic and so believable landscapes.
Beside that flows, rivers or even river networks can be added to the terrain. The algorithm is unique, extrem fast and satisfies even scientific requierements.

But landscapes are not only defined by nature. The human factor also is a very important element. The "vector" tool "simulates" this part of a landscape. You can use it to integrate roads, urban areas or even controled rivers.

Path of Exile《流亡黯道》 歐美經典暗黑風再現 (免費)

【遊戲基地記者╱orcsbase 報導】

《流亡黯道》是一款免費的網路 RPG 遊戲，整體風格相當黑暗，像是在陰森的洞穴裡，周圍的能見度會降低，讓遊戲過程變得相當刺激，此外遊戲中也沒有金錢的設定，若販賣物品給 NPC 則會獲得某些物品作為回報，像是辨識卷軸或是傳送卷軸的材料等等，而跟 NPC 購買物品也是用辨識卷軸這類的物品做交換，相當特別的設定，另外戰鬥方面也相當爽快血腥。

This book is the first of its kind to offer a technical look at professional-level programming of games using C#. You’ll begin with learning how to install Unity3D and gradually move on to more advanced coding topics in C#. Each object is introduced, applied to the code, demonstrated through examples, and added to an example game that is built upon throughout the book. By the end of the book, you will be encouraged to create a game and upload it to a site where other users can view and comment on it, cultivating the learning process through constructive criticism and interaction.

• Explains how to maximize the unique capabilities of Unity3D for programming games
• Discusses advanced coding topics concerning working with C#
• Highlights creating shaders that will manipulate the way graphics are rendered by the game engine
• Extends the reach of the book beyond the Unity3D user base by discussing how Unity3D is an ideal way to break into the social Web site market
• Addresses a plethora of C# questions
• Demystifies Unity3D co-routines and the yield statement in a clear and concise manner

Whether you use this book as a tutorial or reference manual for working with Unity3D and C#, you will most certainly find it to be invaluable.

3D-SCAPES 景觀軟體

3Dscapes was founded to help our clients Visualize the true potential of a Landscape Design.

3Dscapes has the Goal to Design your Paradise at home! Your home is the ultimate expression of who you are, which is why your landscape should be as well-appointed, warm and inviting as the interior. Your landscape is a major investment that will increase the value of your home and add hours of outdoor enjoyment for years to come. You want to make sure your future backyard is perfect down to the smallest detail. Most Landscape Companies offer flat 2D drawings of designs. While these plans and printouts give you an overview of your design, important details are often difficult to understand. 3Dscapes takes designing to another level with real life 3D Artistic renderings. For example, have you considered how your new landscape will enhance the view from your kitchen? Have you thought about how the color and surface of the decking will match your house color; or how the arrangement of lights will help you enjoy your yard at night? How will your maturing trees provide shade throughout the day? No flat drawing can properly show these details. But 3Dscapes can and will give you the fully rendered experience you need, to make the important decisions about your investment.
