Viz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia As a Latin abbreviation, viz is often written in italics and sometimes with a period following it. The z in viz comes from a Tironian note scribal convention which looked something like the number 3, or the Middle English letter yogh (ȝ), although it is related to neither of these. The term viz was used often in documents from the 17th and 18th centuries. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Viz   (205 words)

BBC NEWS | Magazine | Let's get Vizical - 25 years at the comic coalface Viz's merciless ridiculing of stars and stereotypes, laced with much anarchic iconoclasm, proved the perfect antidote in an era of PC student politics and emerging celebrity culture. Viz recreated the ad with a vagrant toting a well-known premium strength lager and changed the line to "Central Heating for Tramps", inadvertently drawing the rebuke of the brewer's lawyers. Viz was a work of genius, and one of the few things that made the 80s bearable. news.bbc.co.uk /1/hi/magazine/3590456.stm   (1674 words)

Welcome to CGarchitect.com I will be focusing on VIZ and max topics, mostly because I simply don't have the brain capacity to learn other complex software, and because they are commonly used in the architectural community. While VIZ and max may leapfrog each other in capabilities with each new release, many offices use either package or a few offices may use both and there is enough commonality to make general methods and techniques useful. Max 4 and VIZ 4 new Polygon editing capabilities open some interesting options for quickly modeling coffered ceilings and other honeycomb structures that would be very difficult to accomplish with standard triangular mesh modeling. www.cgarchitect.com /upclose/article1_TB.asp   (1669 words)

Welcome to CGarchitect.com The topic of Lofting in 3ds max or Autodesk VIZ has come up fairly often in the VIZ support forums lately so I thought I would use the bulk of this months column to touch on the process.

Computer Graphics World - Viz 4 Viz 3 came out as a Discreet division product, with the previously used RadioRay rendering plug-in (licensed from UK-based Lightworks) replaced by Lightscape, a product Discreet picked up in its late-1997 acquisition of Lightscape Technologies (the latter firm itself among the fruits of rendering research at the seminal Cornell Program in Com puter Graphics). The current version of Viz inherits the latest features of big sibling max, such as resizable viewports and customizable tool palettes, as well as a polygon modeler that replaces the previous triangular mesh modeling tool (although Viz's terrain modeler still supports conversion of contour maps to triangular meshes). Viz's section tool can slice through any part of a massing model and export the cut as a polyline for further drawing development in AutoCAD or ADT, and changes made to Viz geometry imported into ADT can be updated from ADT back to the Viz original. cgw.pennnet.com /Articles/Article_Display.cfm?Section=Articles&Subsection=Display&ARTICLE_ID=134279   (960 words)

VIZ tips Autodesk VIZ 4 crashes PC system with no warning, or your system crashes after exiting a VIZ session. Photorealistic and reflectance materials that you created and used in previous releases of Autodesk VIZ® may not work in VIZ 4 because their reflectance, the amount of light they reflect onto other objects, is too high. After you use camera matching to render your model so it appears to be part of a photograph, you can use matte/shadow materials to make it appear to cast shadows on other objects in the photograph (like the ground or other buildings). newsletters.hagerman.com /newsletters/news_tips_3d.htm   (703 words)
