Funded by the <a href=\"http:\/\/visuelvaekst.dk\/\">Innovationsnetv\u00e6rket VISUEL V\u00c6KST<\/a> we have built a plugin for Maya which enables 3D artists to quickly and painlessly generate artist-controllable rocks from arbitrary 3D input models. We achieve this by leveraging the base technologies built in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.alexandra.dk\/dk\/projekter\/sider\/elements---environmental-visual-effects-through-result-oriented-design.aspx\">Elements &#8211;\u00a0Environmental Visual Effects through Result-oriented Design<\/a> project. Like the Elements project, the artists have full control while modeling and all changes to the geometry are reflected in real-time in the Maya Viewport 2.0. However, unlike the Elements project we are able to store the procedurally generated geometry to disk for later use.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to participate by testing the plugin please contact jesper.borlum@alexandra.dk.<\/p>\n<p>The image above shows the final results.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Modeling boulders and other detailed rock formations can be a challenging and time-consuming task for 3D artists.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":3297,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[2],"tags":[53,64,76,82,85],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/viscomp.alexandra.dk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1893"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/viscomp.alexandra.dk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/viscomp.alexandra.dk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/viscomp.alexandra.dk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/viscomp.alexandra.dk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1893"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/viscomp.alexandra.dk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1893\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/viscomp.alexandra.dk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/3297"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/viscomp.alexandra.dk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1893"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/viscomp.alexandra.dk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1893"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/viscomp.alexandra.dk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1893"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
