In this book you'll learn:
How to model an architectural scene and create stunning materials that breathe life into your projects
How to use real-world photometric lights and global illumination to achieve photorealism
Efficient project workflow and scene assembly
Tips and tricks for the production environment that would take years to learn the hard way
How to market your services to prospective clients
Welcome to the world of 3D architectural visualizations using the most powerful and versatile 3D software package on the planet: 3ds Max. In just the last few years, the visualization industry has arguably become the fastest-growing 3D industry, and may soon overtake all others in total number of users. Just as the use of CAD became the norm for nearly all architectural, engineering, and construction firms in the 90s, 3D visualizations have become standard practice today. This book takes you through the challenge of learning one of the most complex computer programs ever created, by way of easy-to-follow tutorials and instruction. It specifically focuses on those parts of the program you need to know to produce stunning architectural visualizations. The intent is not to show you every possible way to accomplish a task, but rather some of the fastest and most efficient ways. At the end of the book, there is a guide to marketing your services, as well as 20 top tips that took the author almost 10 years to learn in a production environmentsometimes the hard way. 3ds Max is a large and complex applicationbut by learning just the features that apply to visualizations, you'l be learning everything you need to know to get ahead in the industry in the shortest possible time.

Pyramids
Pyramids tells the story of these Egyptian monuments from their earliest beginnings, following their development from the first step pyramid to the Great Pyramid of Giza. Unlike most books on the subject, the volume describes not only the pyramids
themselves but also the complexes of temples and walls that surrounded them. It also tells the stories of the kings and builders who created them. Filer follows the story of the pyramids through a study of eight individual sites, each with somethingdifferent to tell us about the construction of the pyramid complexes, the architects who designed them, the workers who built them, the kings who were buried in them, and the robbers who plundered them.

Designing Complex Systems: Foundations of Design in the Functional Domain (Complex and Enterprise Systems Engineering)
Without standardized construction elements such as nuts, bolts, bearings, beams, resistors and the like, the design of physical equipment is hopelessly inefficient, and engineers are continually bogged down with re-designing these elements over and over again. The same can be said for the domain of ideas and performance requirements. Only through a process of standardization of the corresponding functional elements will systems engineering truly live up to its potential of increased efficiency and quality. Designing Complex Systems: Foundations of Design in the Functional Domain introduces students and practitioners in the field of system design to a particular methodology that addresses design issues in a rigorous and consistent top-down fashion. It also reassesses the characteristics of engineering and its place within the field of intellectual activity, in particular, examining the creative aspects of design as reflected in the difference between engineers and technicians. Erik W. Aslaksen brings forty years of experience to the table with this groundbreaking work. He examines how the concept of value can provide a quantitative measure of that wider interaction of the engineered object with its environment. With its forward-looking approach and holistic perspective, this volume is sure to advance the field of knowledge of systems engineering for years to come.

This collection of almost 300 articles provides the critical knowledge and technological bases required for meeting one of the ultimate engineering challenges:
the design and construction of smart structures and systems. It meets that trend that research in smart materials and structures seeks to apply multifunctional capabilities. Contributions deal with the use of new and existing materials to develop structures and systems that are capable of self-sensing, self-diagnosing, self-healing.

hellow there,,
i am newbie here,,and i'am glad for joining this great forum..
i need a ebook of autodesk revit building 9
is anyone has this book?
Autodesk Revit Building 9 for Architects & Designers
Sham Tickoo, Purdue University Calumet
Published by CADCIM Technologies, USA
ISBN: 1-932709-20-7
Paperback, 672 Pages
if any one have input file for Fastrak Portal Frame module please upload
any one can advice if this software can create purlins and side rails and how to do it coz i dont see in the tool menu any modeling tabs for purlins or side rails
For the benefit of the unemployed engineers/members and also for the engineers who are striving to have a good experience internationally, is it possible to have a forum section regarding recruitment of the civilea members?
I mean if somebody who is employed in a good company wants to have a referral of a qualified professional within this site may post vacancy information in his/her company.
This section could also discuss the backgrounds of all engineering companies, good or bad, to give ideas on our members which company should be their next target. :yes:
