The Vue 5 Function Node Project

Spedler has started an ambitious project to show the effect of the various parameters on nodes. He is using colour, where appropriate, and a range of different settings for each parameter to show the effects that can be achieved. So far Steve has covered the Noise nodes and he will be working through the fractal nodes next.

Free Booty at Cornucopia3D

For some inexplicable reason there seems to be lots of pirate stuff floating around for 3d rendering software at the moment. Cornucopia 3d has taken it to a level that leaves many of the other sites looking a little landluberish with ships, accessories and all sorts of treasures. Mixed in with the content for sale (which I'll start to review here soon) is some very nice free stuff including:

• Shipwreck Ribs
• Gemstones
• Rum Bottle Set
• Doubloons
