There’s a slight difference depending on what map you’re using. A texture map is essentially an image file connected to an object, and as such you need to tell ICE what to do with this information before you can make use of it. First you need to convert the RGB color of the image to a scalar value and store [...]
Nine out of ten times you’re overegging the pudding by adding actual light source to the setup as you most likely could get away with a using really bright material on the object. But there is that one time you do need it, and this apparently is it. read
The accordion lamp consists of a series of individual arms which are mounted in pairs creating an X-Shape. Rotating any of the arms will cause all arms to rotate which either expand or contract the lamp. Start by open the scene Accordion_Lamp.scn. The scene consists of a number of null objects and the arms, which are parented under the null [...]
The typical use of render channels is to render the scenes components, such as ambience/diffuse, reflection or motion vectors into individual images. As most of these components are calculated individually by Mental Ray anyway they’re not going to affect the time needed to render the image. In addition, channels can be used to render partial or multiple render trees, adding [...]

Ever have the need to have a layer stay exactly at the midpoint between two other moving layers? Sometimes your layers have to move erratically, or even linear, but you just want your midpoint layer to just stay in the middle without doing math and hand keyframing it the whole way. Well this expression should help you out. Includes a [...]
Make your words, letters, whatever 3d inside adobe after effects! No plugins or fancy expensive 3d programs needed! All boring vanilla after effects. All you need is a little expression and a lot of duplicating. So we can’t actually make something “really” 3d but we can make it “fake” or “imaginary” 3d using many layers like plywood or 3d printers. [...]

The problem: In photography, when looking at a photo taken from [...]
Many of you will have heard the terms “linear workflow” and “gamma correction”. It is a must for 3d rendering, especially interior visualisation because it fixes so many problems with render samples, light falloff and cuts post processing tasks in half. I am not going to go into depth about linear workflow and gamma correction as it can become a [...]
