If you have seen a sculpture ever in your life, you already know quite a little about 3D Modeling. 3D Modeling is nothing but the creation of a character or a model having three dimensions (as in real world) using the techniques and tools provided by a computer software. The software we use for the purpose will be a 3D Modeling and animation tool like 3DS Max, Maya, SoftImage etc. The tool will provide a set of tools that a 3D artist can use to sculpt or model, an object in his imagination, into a 3d computer representation. This 3D model can be altered, animated or rendered into a movie in accordance to the artists need. This is what 3D modeling is, if we look it from a broad top view.

Lets dig a bit deeper:

Every 3D Model in computer representation is composed of polygons. The polygons may have three or more vertices and such hundreds or thousands or even millions of polygons may comprise a 3D Model. So is it like, a 3D artist draws each and every polygon as such? Fortunately, no! Here comes the softwares like 3DS Max and Maya to our rescue. These 3d modeling packages provide a wide variety of modeling tools that an artist can use for creating a polygonal model. The artist will usually draw the outlines that define the models shape in three dimensions, and the software will tesselate that into a polygonal mesh. All that an artist has to do is define the 3 dimensional profile of the character he has in his imagination. There are a number of modeling techniques that are widely used. Lets go through them one by one:

· Primitive Modeling: This is a very basic modeling technique and hence has several draw backs too. The software tool like 3DS Max, Maya etc provides a set of 3D primitives like spheres, boxes etc. The artist alters these shapes to suit his/her character modeling needs, using lattices, deformers etc. For example, a human head can be modeled using an altered sphere, a neck using an altered cylinder etc. This modeling technique is more suitable for building objects like houses, furniture etc rather than, for live organic modeling, since the shapes appear distinct and the blend of various body parts will not be seamless.

· NURBS Modeling: NURBS stands for Non Uniform Rational Bspline. Dont get scared by the name. In the nutshell, it is nothing but a mathematical curve, represented using a set of equations. If we see this modeling technique from an outer view, all we see is a set of simple curves that we call NURBS. How the 3d tool implemented it we dont need to care much (too much mathematics). These curves are very flexible and have control points on them which we can use to change its shape.

Suppose you want to model a human head using NURBS modeling, you will start with an outline shape and then draw a number of curves extending from one side of the profile shape to the other end, separated by spaces. These curves define the shape of the figure. These NURBS curves can be joined to form a 3D NURBS surface. The NURBS modeling has its advantages and disadvantages. It is an easy to model approach, since the NURBS curves are easy to manipulate. But this modeling technique has very limited extensibility. Suppose you want to add an extra limb to your alien creature after the modeling is complete, it will become extremely difficult, if you choose NURBS modeling.

When it come to consider jumping in the satellite radio bandwagon, there are many questions to be answered about them like “How does satellite radios work?”, “What kind of equipment should I purchase?” etc. but in this article I will try to answer a question that first pops up in everybody’s mind: “HOW MUCH DOES SATELLITE RADIO COST”? This is a tricky question because the cost of a satellite radio is divided in two: installation (or activation) costs and the monthly subscription fee.

The shift to 10G networks is under way. According to the Network Observations blog (see link below), over half of enterprises (2500+ users) will have made the shift to 10G networks by the end of 2008. The trend is not just limited to the United States, as it is also reported that close to 25% of global businesses will join the race to 10G this calendar year.

While these numbers are relevant to larger businesses and corporations, smaller companies will also soon require such extensive bandwidth to manage daily IT and network operations. In preparation, vendors have begun to drive demand through the use of aggressive marketing and price reductions.

With reduced prices on 10G equipment, many organizations are choosing to upgrade their bandwidth immediately for new technology purchases. After all, why purchase older, slower technology at comparable prices, when your organization can simply begin to prepare for the future now?

THE CHALLENGE: MONITORING 10G Given the current state of the economy, network operations teams are being challenged to do “more with less,” a phrase that has become pervasive enough to take on the look of an industry theme of late. This trend is showing up in 2009 budget estimates, which are expected to fall by an average of 2.5% from 2008 levels, according to Gartner Research. In response, decision makers are forced to more thoroughly evaluate all capital purchase and make hard decisions about canceling / delaying some transactions.

10G projects are not immune to the budget crunch. Although the cost of 10G equipment has come down recently, it is still selling at a premium to 1G tools. At the same time, enterprises are faced with the daunting task of monitoring 10G networks to ensure that their business critical applications are secure and running at acceptable performance.

With the move to 10G, many IT strategists are concerned about whether they will need to upgrade the many different types of network and application monitoring tools that they have already purchased. These business critical tools include: application monitors, intrusion detection systems, compliance tools, data recorders, VOIP monitors, and protocol analyzers. Few organizations have the budget to upgrade some, let alone all of these tools.

THE SOLUTION: TOOL AGGREGATION Imagine a world where you can use your 1G tools to monitor a 10G network. It can be done due to two important enablers:

1. Most tools only need to see a small fraction of the network traffic to do their jobs. In fact, sending more data than is required actually degrades efficiency, because tools cannot keep up.
2. Tool Aggregation, a new industry trend, enables traffic to be filtered and dynamically directed to the correct tools. With this technique, you can increase monitoring coverage and save money.

There are different types of computer users out there are those of us who like to arrange our desktops in a certain way (I think I fall into this category) and there are those who do not really care how their desktop icons arranged. Therefore, this article is for those people who likes to have their desktops arranged in a certain way, and even for those who do not care what their icons are arranged for knowledge reason. This article will help you lock your desktop icons in place so no one can mess up your nice desktop arrangement. To do this, click Start, then Run and type regedit.
