Better Page Corner Ads with CSS3 Transforms
The other day I came across a useful site called ScriptSrc.net that allows you to get up-to-date script tag links that point to your favourite JavaScript libraries.The site has a clickable corner ad promo to get people to “spread the word”. I thought using CSS3 there would be a better way to position such a corner advertisement (or promo, or whatever), because the clickable area for the ad on ScriptSrc.net is actually too big. In some cases, you might prefer the clickable area to be bigger, but I think it’s always best to keep the clickable area limited to the actual ad.

The Next Generation of Modeling. Power NURBS [PRO].
Power NURBS unique hybrid approach fuses the next generation NURBS surface construction technology with the industry’s leading Solids Modeling technology bringing an unparalleled modeling experience to the 3ds Max Platform.
Power NURBS modeling environment is designed to provide artist intuitive access to complex advanced modeling tools allowing you to expand your creative potential beyond the polygon world.
Quickly sketch out your idea with our free form NURBS curve network. Easily, blend or sweep your curves into complex interconnected organic shapes. Intuitively re-sculpt your form on the fly while changes automatically propagate through your model. Produce complex surface detail by drawing and projecting curves onto your model. Cutaway, intersect, join or Boolean surfaces and solids without having to clean up polygon errors. Feel the joy of selecting any edge or set of edges and applying numerous fillet combinations that work and with our resolution independent meshing technology. Never worry about poly count again. Sound too good to be true? Think again. It’s all here in Power NURBS, so stop imagining and truly experience the next generation of modeling.
Power Translators Pro
– Do you need to import IGES, STEP, SAT, or Rhino files into Max?
– Are you sick and tired of poor quality Polygon translation?
– Tired of dealing with mesh smoothing issues and reversed faces?
– Need to change the resolution of your mesh without re-translating?
Translate NURBS Not Polygons!
Power Translators are built from the ground up to solve today’s difficult problems of importing quality CAD data into 3ds max. The Plug-in has been battle hardened in the most demanding productions at some of the best Max visualization rendering facilities in the World. The 3ds professionals spoke and we listened and together we developed the most advanced, best integrated, highest quality Max CAD translator on the market today. We guarantee it.
Have you ever had to re-create a CAD model inside of MAX/VIZ? Power Translators is the answer to get those CAD models and assemblies into MAX or VIZ with the push of a button. Power Translators reads IGES, STEP, SAT, and Rhino and creates a Power NURBS surface/solid within Max to represent the precise geometry defined in these files. It can then create a mesh at render time to a specified user defined tolerance relative to the size of the object in the image. For example, a tolerance of 2 or 3 pixels will produce an extremely high quality image with very smooth edges that do not have polygonal artifacts. The Power NURBS surface/solid introduced by Power Translators can have materials applied at the sub-object level and is able to utilize most MAX Meshmodifiers (twist, UV Map, etc.).
Power Translators could easily pay for itself on a single project in time savings alone!

Forest Pack is a package of plugins for 3D Studio Max and 3D Studio Viz, designed to give a complete solution for creation of vast surfaces of trees and plants. There are other plugins that allow you to create beautiful trees (with thousands of faces), but only Forest enables you to create a complete forest with thousands of trees using only a fraction of the resources.
Some of its features:
- Forest is a parametric and animatable object, optimized for speed. It can create more than 500,000 trees per second, modify any parameter and rebuild them in real-time.
- Trees are created from an editable geometry list, that may contain textured planar objects or custom meshes.
- Forest uses splines to define the areas to plant the trees. You can use multiple splines to define areas of inclusion and exclusion.
- The distribution of trees is managed with bitmaps. You can create custom distribution patterns, from lines or very regular groups to fully random surfaces. The plugin includes some sample distribution maps but it will also accept user created maps.
- Forest can be linked to a camera, so that all billboard trees will be facing perpendicular to the camera. This solves the problem of seeing planar objects from different angles when the camera moves past them.
- To minimize resource utilization, tree distribution can be restricted to the camera’s field of view. This enables the user to create a fly by of a forest of virtually millions of trees, without wasting scene resources on trees that are out outside the edge of the frame.
- Automatic distribution of trees over any surface (irregular terrains, etc.)
- You can limit the elements in a surface by ranges of altitude and slope.
- Random transformation of position, rotation and scale.
- Custom level-of-detail allows for faster redraw in the viewports. You can set different levels for viewports and render.
- You can use the XShadow plugin for opacity mapped shadow casting on tree objects. Forest supports raytraced shadows as well.
- You can also use Forest as a generic and enhanced scatter (no trees after all). Visit the image gallery for some samples.
- The plugins included in Forest Pack are: Forest, XShadow, Forest Tools and Forest Material

Illustrate! is a non-photorealistic renderer. It allows you to render your 3D scene in a variety of artistic styles. The most common is the cel or toon style where the objects are rendered with a single or limited number of colors and the edges are drawn with a line. This version of Illustrate! is particularly adept at this style of rendering. It includes a lot of advanced features for creating film resolution cel renderings.
Illustrate! also renders illustrations. Most commonly these are technical illustrations with hidden-lines eliminated. Illustrate! supports a huge variety of line styles so you can create complex illustrations.
One amazing feature of Illustrate! is its ability to render these styles out to vector artwork. It currently supports Shockwave Flash, Adobe Illustrator, and Autocad DXF output. This allows you render your 3D scenes for displaying on the Internet or for inclusion with other vector graphics.
