Hide a RAR file in a JPG file

2008-11-20T21:54:00.002+05:30

First you need to have a rar file and a jpg image to hide the rar
Say the jpg is “image.jpg” and the rar is “file.rar”

Go to Windows command prompt (Start>Run>type cmd and press enter)

Now type this command:
copy /b image.jpg + file.rar newfile.jpg

switch “/b” indicates the copy function is binary
“newfile.jpg” is the resulting image with the rar file embedded (you can use a name of your choice)

That’s all

When you click on newfile.jpg the image will be displayed. Now it you change the jpg extension to rar (ie: newfile.rar) and open it with WinRAR the contents of the embedded rar file will be displayed.

The jpg can be replaced with a bmp,png,gif or swf file. The rar archive can be replaced with zip,tar.gz/bz2 or 7z archive. Actually in theory you can use any image format and any archive.

Here are some sample commands:copy /b image.bmp + file.zip newfile.jpg copy /b image.gif + file.7z newfile.jpg copy /b image.png + file.tar.gz newfile.jpg copy /b image.swf + file.rar newfile.jpg

HDD Capacity Restore v1.2

2007-11-12T15:32:00.000+05:30

HDD Capacity Restore License: Freeware
Operating System: MS Windows 2000/2003/XP
HDD Capacity Restore Tool allows you to restore factory capacity of any hard drive. A complete capacity restore guide is supplied with the application.
In some cases this program allows to actually increase the capacity of a hard drive (if it was limited by the distributor; for example, Hewlett-Packard sometimes sells 80-GB hard drives but sets a 40-GB limit. You can restore the full 80-GB capacity in this case).

Supported hard drives: all hard drives

Associate an icon with a drive

2007-11-09T20:38:00.000+05:30

To set the icon of any drive (hard disk, cd rom or anything else) with a letter (C:\ etc.), run REGEDIT (Start -> Run -> regedit)

Navigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer

If one doesn't already exist, create a new KEY called "DriveIcons". Under this key, create a new key with the letter of your drive.

I.e. C for your C:\ drive.

To change the icon for that drive, create a key inside that one called DefaultIcon and set the path of (Default) to the location of your icon

eg C\DefaultIcon\
then (Default) = D:\Documents\C Drive Icon.ico

To change the name of that drive, create a key in the drive letter one (eg C\) called DefaultLabel and set the (Default) to what you want the drive to be called.
This is useful if you want to assign a long name to the floppy drive.

To disable changing of wallpaper

2007-11-09T20:33:00.001+05:30

The Windows Picture and Fax Viewer will still allow people to select the Set as Desktop Background option upon right-clicking an image shown in the aforementioned system program.
You would be better advised to create an OU to host each of the machines on which you wish to restrict this option and adding an entry for a file called "Internet Explorer Wallpaper.bmp" in to the following Policy location:

Computer Configuration | Windows Settings | Security Settings | File System
If you add a file, simply select the location from your own machine and Windows will enter the file as %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Internet Explorer Wallpaper.bmp
If the file does not exist on your computer, navigate to a website, right-click an image (any image) and select Set as Background. This will create the file mentioned above and allow you select it from within Group Policy Editor.
You can also edit the registry (carefully, of course).
In the editor (Start > Run > regedit) navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\ActiveDesktop (It may be necessary to create the location).
Here, edit/create the DWORD value "NoChangingWallpaper" so that it's value is 1.

What are Super Hidden Files?

M*cro$oft has added many features to Windows XP to protect the critical files of the operating system. The system file checker, for instance, continually monitors the system files to ensure that no application will replace your system files with a version that Windows XP was not designed to work with. The new super hidden files feature allows Windows to protect itself even further by hiding some of its most critical files from the user. If they can't get to it, they can't hurt it, right?

Setup Your Own Web Server On Window Xp

2007-11-09T20:03:00.001+05:30

Setup Your Own Web Sever on Windows Xp
A simple guide to turn your xp box to a web server

Now days everybody wants have there own we server. Then the important question. What would be the cheapest way to do it? If you are on a broadband connection (cable/dsl), Windows XP Professional IIS (Internet Information Server) is the cheapest answer.

Step 1 ) Accessing the Win Xp IIS Interface

First you have to check whether IIS is already turned on.

Go to [START] -> [CONTROL PANEL] -> [ADMINISTRATIVE TOOLS]
Check to see whether [Internet Information Services] shortcut is already there. If it is skip step 2.

Step 2 ) Installing Win Xp IIS

Go to [START] -> [CONTROL PANEL] -> [ADD REMOVE PROGRAMS]
Click on [Add/Remove Windows Components] Tab
Scroll down to Internet Information Services (IIS)
Check the box on the left and click apply.

Step 3 ) Starting IIS

Click to [START] -> [CONTROL PANEL] -> [ADMINISTRATIVE TOOLS]
Click on [Internet Information Services]
Now you will see the IIS user interface
Expand the left tree under (your computer name)(local computer)
You will see Web Sites ? FTP Sites ? Default SMTP Virtual Server
Expand [Web Sites]
You will see [Default Web Site Started or Stopped]
If it is stopped, [RIGHT CLICK] on [DEFAULT WEB SITE] and click start.

Step 4 ) Checking to see whether IIS is actually working

Open your web browser
On the address bar type http://localhost
You will see the default IIS welcome screen
If you see the welcome screen your web server is up and running.

Step 5 ) Pinching a small hold in your firewall

If you have ICF (Internet Connection Firewall) Enabled you will have to open up port 80 to let the world access your web server
Go to [START] -> [RIGHT CLICK MY NETWORK PLACES] -> [CLICK PROPERTIES]
[RIGHT CLICK] on your Lan or High Speed Internet Connection
[CLICK PROPERTIES]
[CLICK] on the Advanced Tab
[CLICK] [PROTECT MY COMPUTER] Check box
[CLICK] [SETTINGS] at the bottom of the dialog box
Under the [SERVICES] tab check the [WEB SERVER]
[CLICK OK]
If you have a router/firewall you will have to enable [PORT FORWADING] to enable access to your web server from the outside world. Make sure [PORT 80] is forwarded to the PC(IP) your running the web server.

Step 6 ) Placing the files

By default your web server directory will be located at C:\Inetpub\wwwroot
Now you can place you *.html, *.htm and *.asp files there

Getting a dynamic DNS for your personal web Server

Now that you have your Web Server running, let?s get a unique name for it. There are few Dynamic DNS providers out there, but my favorite is SITELUTIONS.COM

But if you don?t have your own domain name and wish to use a free service, I recommend www.no-ip.com. Visit their web site and register for the free NO-IP service and download the DUC Client for windows. Now every time your IP changes the DUC client will update the new IP at NO-IP DNS servers. So you will always be able to access your web server using yourname.no-ip.com

If you plan to use your own domain name go to www.sitelutions.com. They provide the best service that you can find for free. If you?re looking for a reliable Domain Name Registrar check out www.godaddy.com.

Once you get your own domain name, go to your domain control panel and update your DNS servers to the ones that the Dynamic DNS Provider gives you.

10 Things You Should Know Before Submitting Your Site To Google

2007-11-09T19:59:00.000+05:30

The same way you clean up your house before your guests arrive, the same way you should get your website ready for Google’s crawler, as this is one of the most important guests you will ever have. According to that, here are 10 things you should double check before submitting your website to the index. If you want, you can view this article as the correction of the top 10 mistakes made by webmasters.

1. If you have a splash page on your website, make sure you have a text link that allows you to pass it.
I’ve seen many websites with a fancy flash introduction on the index and no other way to navigate around it. Well, Google can’t read into your flash page, and therefore it cannot bypass it. All you have to do is put a text link to your website’s second index, and the deed is done.

2. Make sure you have no broken links
I know this is kind of obvious, but you’ll be surprised to find out how many errors is the Google crawler experiencing daily due broken links. Therefore, you’d better check and double check every internal link of your webpage before submission. Don’t forget that your links are also your visitor’s paths to your content. It’s not all about Google, you know

3. Check the TITLE tags
Since you are able to search in title tags on Google and since the title tags is displayed in the top of your browser window, I’d say this is an important aspect you need to check. This doesn’t mean you have to compile a >20 keywords list there. Instead, make it a readable sentence since it’s viewable by both crawlers and surfers.

4. Check the META tags
Rumors about Google not caring about META tags are not 100% correct. Google relies on these tags to describe a site when there’s a lot of navigation code that wouldn’t make sense to a human searcher, so why not make sure you’re all in order and set up some valid KEYWORDS and a valid DESCRIPTION. You never know.

5. Check your ALT tags
The ALT tags are probably the most neglected aspect of a website since no one bothers to put them in order. It’s definitely a plus if you do, so Google spider can get a clue about all of your graphics. However, don’t go extreme and start explaining in an ALT tag that a list bullet is a list bullet.

6. Check your frames
If you use frames on your website, you might not be indexed 100%. Google actually recommends that you read an article of Danny Sullivan on Search Engines and Frames. You have to make sure that either Google can read from your frames, either that it has an alternative, defined via the NOFRAMES tag.

7. Do you have dynamically generated pages?
I know the web evolved so much in the last period of time, and more and more websites based on dynamic scripting languages (PHP, ASP, etc) are coming out every second, but Google said they are limiting the amount of dynamic webpages they’re indexing. It’s not too late to consider a compromise and include some static content in your pages. It helps.

8. Update your content regularly
This is an important aspect that you should consider, since Google indexes more quickly pages that get updated on a regular basis. You will notice that the number of pages indexed by the search engine will increase day by day if you update, but will stagnate or decrease if you don’t bring something new. I suggest setting up a META option in the header that will tell Google how frequently should it come back for a reindexing.

9. The robots.txt
This file is a powerful resource if used properly. You have the chance to filter out the bots that crawl your website, and you have the chance of restricting access to certain URL’s that should not be indexed (login pages, admin backends, etc).

10. To cache or not to cache?
Google caches some webpages for quick access, but some webmasters do not like that. The procedure is quite simple. All you have to do is write a line of code between your HEAD tags.

META NAME=”ROBOTS” CONTENT=”NOARCHIVE” - should be enough to stop all robots from caching and archiving the page where the code is embedded.

Tips & Tricks for Symbians!!!!!

2007-11-08T16:41:00.000+05:30

Tip 1 : Do u know how to use the edit button (abc or pencil button)?
Heres how... in the inbox for example; u wanna delete multiple sms, simply hold the edit button, scroll down, and then, press c to delete the marked sms. The edit button can also b used to copy and past text in sms, simply hold it and scroll across, choose copy. pretty good for placing song names in ngages

Tip 2 : Shit happens, on a smartphone, its inevitable u do something wrong, and tis calls for a format of fone. to format the fone, press *#7370#, then enter the lock code, which is the sec code of the fone. NOTE: batt must b ful|, else if format is disrupted by low batt, consequences will b disatrous
I heard the code *#7780# works too, pretty much the same i tink.
for 6600 users, to format the fone, theres an alternative way. Press and hold <3>, <*> and Call (Send) buttons, then power on fone, keep holding on the 3 buttons, till u come to a format screen. this method ONLY works on 6600, and need not enter the sec code. BUT sec code would be reset to default 12345.

Tip 3 : TO NGAGE USERS; Did u know u can install .sis files simply using the cable given? Juz plug it in, place the .sis file anywhere on e: (the mmc), not in any folders, root of e:, disconnect, then look for it in manager.

Tip 4: Save on battery and system memory being used by regulary checking the task manager which can be accessed by holding down the menu button!!

Tip 5: Type *#06# to display your IMEI seri@l number, very valuable for the unlocking your phone to other sim cards

Tip 6: Type *#0000# to view which firmware version you are running

Tip 4a: Set the screen saver to a short time out period to prolong battery life.

Tip 4b: Avoid restarting the phone, or repeatedly turning it on and off. This helps
increase battery life.

Tip 7: If you would like to avoid being "blue jacked", keep bluetooth turned off, or set your phone's visibility to hidden.

Tip 8: Don't want to carry a watch and a phone? Set the screen saver to show date and time, then you can ditch the watch.

Tip 9: Save memory when installing apps, by installing over bluetooth. This can be done using the nokia phone suite and a bluetooth seri@l connection. Only works with .SIS files, so java still has to be sent to the phone, but will save space when using .SIS files.

Tip 10: Operator logos
Use a filemanager like FExplorer or SeleQ to add the folders: "c:/system/Apps/phone/oplogo". Add a .bmp picture to folder "oplogo" and restart your phone! The .bmp picture size needs to be: 97 x 25 pixels

Tip 11: Check if the recepients phone is on
Delivery reports
or
Type *0# your message in the message composer window space then write your message, the recipient will not see the star zero hash bit - just the message When they read it it will relay a message back to your fone showing the time they recieved it. (haven't yet tried it myself though)

Tip 12: BlueJacking
First up, you need to know what Bluetooth is. There are lots of types of modern devices that incorporate Bluetooth as one of their many features. PDAs, mobile phones and laptops are a few of these modern devices. Bluetooth means that Bluetooth enabled devices can send things like phonebook/address book contacts, pictures & notes to other Bluetooth enabled devices wirelessly over a range of about 10 metres. So, we've got past the boring part. Now, using a phone with Bluetooth, you can create a phonebook contact and write a message, eg. 'Hello, you've been bluejacked', in the 'Name' field. Then you can search for other phones with Bluetooth and send that phonebook contact to them. On their phone, a message will popup saying "'Hello, you've been bluejacked' has just been received by Bluetooth" or something along those lines. For most 'victims' they will have no idea as to how the message appeared on their phone.

Tip 13: While you are viewing a picture in your phone's gallery, press one of these shortcut keys (definitely works on 6600, not sure about other symbians)
1 - turn image anticlockwise
3 - turn image clockwise
* - toggle on/off of ful| screen
5 - zoom in
0 - zoom out
#15 u can select all files in a folder by selecting THE folder and copy it then paste it somewhere. however u need to make a new directory. fexplorer wun let u copy that folder together. well seleQ can mark files to copy but it really takes time!
#16: A soft and Hard reset
A Soft-reset - the process of resetting all the settings of the phone to the factory default! No applications are deleted! A Hard-reset is like formatting a drive! It does format the memory. Everything that has been installed after the first use of the phone is deleted! It will recover the memory of the phone to the state you purchased it! It is done by inputing the following code: *#7370# NOTE: The battery must be ful| or the charger has to be connected to the phone so that it does not run out of power and make the phone unusable.
#17: Formats of images
supported ones: JPG UPF GIF87a/89a WBMB MBM TIFF/F PNG EXIF
How to copy & paste text in your Nokia 3650:
Press and hold the pencil key and select your text using the scroll key.
Left function key will change to 'Copy'. Press it to copy the selected text to clipboard.
You can paste the clipboard contents the same way:
press and hold the pencil key and press 'Paste'. Or, press pencil key once and select 'Paste'.
Press and hold the Menu key to open the application switching window, where you can *duh* switch between applications.
If a program hangs and you can't shut it down, select the application in the
application switching window and press 'C' to kill it. It's also a faster way to exit programs.
Turn on/off the "click" sound made by the camera by selecting the 'Silent' profile or by turning warning tones on/off:
Menu > Profiles > "select your activated profile" > Personalise > Warning tones > On/Off.
(This also effects the sound of Java games and apps).
To change background image go to:
Menu > Tools > Settings > Phone > Standby mode > Background image > Yes > "choose an image".
The best size for background images is 174x132 pixels.
Only got blue, green and purple in your 3650 colour palette?
This free app adds 3 more colours: Palette Extender.
Display an image when someone's calling:
Menu > Contacts > "select a contact card" > Options > Edit > Options > Add thumbnail > "choose an image".
Add a personal ringing tone to a contact:
Menu > Contacts > "select a contact card" > Options > Open > Options > Ringing tone > "choose a ringing tone".
Delete all messages from your Inbox at once:
Menu > Messaging > Inbox > Options > Mark/Unmark > Mark all > Options > Delete.
Send or hide your caller ID: Go to: Menu > Tools > Settings > Call > Send My
Caller ID > 'Yes', 'No' or 'Set By Network' to follow the default settings of your home network.
If you often copy large files to your MultiMedia Card, I recommend a card reader.
E.g. With a card reader it takes only 12 seconds to copy a 10 MB file!
Record the sound of a phone call using the (sound) Recorder.
Menu > Extra's > Recorder > Options > Record sound clip.
Note: short beeps are audible during call registration.
But there is a 60 second limitation so if you want unlimited sound recording get this app: Extended Recorder.
While writing text, press "#" to switch between upper and lower case and Dictonary on/off (predictive text input).
Press and hold "#" to switch between Alpha mode and Number mode.
Keyboard shortcuts for zooming and rotating images in Images:
1 = zoom in, 0 = zoom out, press and hold to return to the normal view.
2 = rotate anticlockwise, 9 = rotate clockwise, * = ful| screen.
In standby mode, press and hold the right soft key to activate voice dialling.
To add a voice tag to a phone number, open a contact card and scroll to the phone number and select:
Options > Add voice tag.
You can customize both soft keys located below the screen (in standby mode):
Menu > Tools > Settings > Phone > Standby mode > Left/Right selection key > "select an application".
In standby mode. press scroll key center (joystick) to go directly to Contacts.
In standby mode, press and hold 0 to launch your wap home page.
In Menu or any subfolder, press numbers 1 - 9 to start the application at that location.
123
456
789
In standby mode,
45# + dials the number on your sim in memory slot 45.
50# + dials slot 50 and so on.
If you have your keylock activated just press the on/off button to turn on your backlight
to look at the time when it's dark without having to unlock the keypad.
Never, ever, in your whole life, install WildSkinz on your Nokia 3650!!! WildSkinz screws up
the whole 3650 system. It was never intended to work on the 3650, only on the 7650.

Why assigning vide0 Recorder in the right or left soft key does not work?

(Sound Recorder is launched instead of vide0 Recorder)
It's a bug with firmware version 2.50.
How to check your firmware version:

A "Firmware" is the phone's operating system stored in internal Flash memory of the device (disk Z.
Manufacturers release new firmware versions containing bug fixes, improvements and - sometimes - offering new functions.
Firmware upgrade can only be made in authorized Nokia service centre (point).
To check your current firmware version simply type *#0000# on main Phone screen.

·
How to check your IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity)?

Type *#06# on main Phone screen.

Start up in Safe Mode so no 'auto start' apps will be running:

To make sure that no memory-resident programs start when you reboot your phone,
hold down the pencil key when you turn on the phone and hold it on untill you have to enter your PIN code.
(When you have trouble booting up the phone with the MMC in it because it got corrupted for some reason, this trick will
almost always let you boot up the phone so you can remove the latest installed app which might have caused the
problem or if your phone is "unrepairable" you can still back up your important data before you do a format.)
Q: How to totally format your Nokia 3650 and remove all installed applications, user files and restore all
settings to default like it's new out of the box? (OEM apps won't be deleted like Camera and RealOne Player).

A: First Format your MMC: Menu > Extras > Memory > Options > Format mem. card > Yes.
Note: It is very important to format your MMC before you format your phone!
Then format your phone by typing *#7370# on main Phone screen.
Phone will ask: "Restore all original phone settings? Phone will restart." Press 'Yes' and enter your Lock code (default is 12345).
Tip: Formatting takes several minutes so you'd better connect your Nokia 3650
to a charger to ensure that your battery doesn't get empty in the middle of formatting.
Note: All your created acces points and mailboxes will be lost so take a note of them. And all application settings will be reset.
E.g. In Camera, image quality is set back to normal and memory in use is set back to phone memory. And also in Messages,
memory in use is set back to phone memory, etc. Also backup your contacts with PC Suite or a program like Contacts Manager.

To reset your wallet, should you forget your code,
Type in:
*#7370925538#
this will reset the wallet code, the wallet contents will be deleted.

How to free more RAM on your phone >>>

>>> Method 1: Flight mode:

Put your phone in "Flight mode" with Psiloc System Tools. Install System Tools, open it and select "Flight mode". This way you can restart the phone without your SIM card so there will be no running phone tasks in the background. Now you can have up to 3,5 MB of free RAM!

Note: ironically enough, Flight mode doesn't work when Smart Launcher is installed, at least in my case.
But i've also heard several reports of people who have both apps running without any problems.

>>> Method 2: Smart Launcher trick:

Install Smart Launcher and open it. Go to Options, Settings and put Launcher ON.
Now plug in your charger and switch off your phone. Wait untill the battery meter appears and short press the Menu button (don't hold).
The menu should appear and now you can have 3,5 to 4,5 MB free RAM! (Hold Menu button to check RAM).

The trick is that with the charger plugged in, the phone must get a minimum software support for charging, even when
the phone is switched off. And somehow Smart Launcher has still got it's shortcut running and that's the Menu button. So when
you press the Menu button, you go directly to the Menu without any other phone tasks running in the background so
you trick the phone and you have more free RAM!
Note: when you unplug the charger, the phone will switch off.
>>> Method 3: Menu :

This method I found it by myself, it frees a little about 100~200 KB but I guess it's useful sometime

STRENGTH OF A MAN

2007-11-08T15:27:00.000+05:30

The strength of a man isn't seen in the width of his shoulders.
It is seen in the width of his arms that encircle you.
The strength of a man isn't in the deep tone of his voice.
It is in the gentle words he whispers.

The strength of a man isn't how many buddies he has.
It is how good a buddy he is with his kids.
The strength of a man isn't in how respected he is at work.
It is in how respected he is at home.

The strength of a man isn't in how hard he hits.
It is in how tender he touches.
The strength of a man isn't in the hair on his chest.
It is in his Heart that lies within his chest.

The strength of a man isn't how many women he's loved.

Katrina Kaif Gallery

2007-11-08T15:21:00.000+05:30

Katrina Kaif, one of the most sought after actress in Bollywood, debuted with a bang through ‘Boom’, a movie about models getting caught up with the underworld. Though the movie bombed, people couldn’t easily forget her angelic face and voluptuous figure. Not many have gained the fans and popularity as a new entrant as Katrina has done.

Katrina is half Indian and half British. Her father is and NRI and her mother is English, which makes her poor at Hindi. Initially critics were very harsh on her for her poor Hindi. But she has worked hard on her Hindi and started taking dancing lessons—both very essential to survive in the industry. Now she has started dubbing on her own. She has done few movies down south and is a popular face there already.

She has done two Telugu movies - Malliswari(2004) and Allari Pidugu(2005) and a Malayalam film (Balram vs. Taradas). In 2005 she starred in ‘Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya’ opposite Salman Khan and Ram Gopal Varma’s ‘Sarkar’. ‘Hum Ko Deewana Kar Gaye’ with Akshay Kumar followed.

Katrina was born on July 16, 1984, in Hong Kong, grew up in Hawaii and then moved to London. Even at the young age of 14, she got modeling offers and started out by modeling for a jewelry campaign. She was attracted to her father’s native land and the moment she landed in India she was flooded with modeling assignments.

She started off with photographer Atul Kasbekar. Later she got offers from Lakme, LG, Cola, Fevicol, Pantene, Veet, Kodak, and L’Oreal. She was chosen as the face of the year for the Lakme India Fashion Week (2005). The Lakme commercial made her very popular. Soon Kaizad Gustad, the director of ‘Boom’ noticed her and offered her a role in the film. Since it was the role of a model, she promptly agreed.

Although she wears bold outfits on films and ads, she is very particular about her clothes and she feels more comfortable in not-so-revealing clothes in personal life. And unlike others in her field she absolutely hates wearing make up.

Although she has been seeing Salman Khan for sometime now, she still refuses to talk about him in the media. She has made it clear that her personal life is not meant to be known to all and that no one has a right to pass any kind of judgment on it.

She has lot of exciting projects lined up. One of them is ‘Partner’ with boyfriend Salman Khan and Govinda. She is also doing ‘Apne’ in which real life father and sons Dharmendra, Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol all stars together in the movie, for the first time. Then there is Anees Bazmee’s ‘Welcome’ with Akshay Kumar. Another film with Akshay Kumar ‘Namaste, London’ is all set to release on March.

How To Turn Off Vista's Useless Junk And Speed Up Your PC

2007-11-08T15:20:00.001+05:30

There are over 100 background services running in Vista. Most of them do nothing but slow you down!

Any frequent reader of my Hubs knows that I am far from Windows Vista's greatest fan. I may actually be one of the loudest and most persistent critics of this misbegotten excuse for an operating system (OS).
I am currently receiving a measure of vindication as more and more people are finding stubborn and often insurmountable problems with drivers, applications, and worst of all, the sheer sluggishness of this monstrous OS which requires a jaw-dropping 15GB of free hard drive space just to install. And if you ever want to uninstall it, you're better off just reformatting the disk or you'll be weeks just trying to put all the pieces back together.
There are well over a hundred services inside Vista's innards, and most of them do absolutely nothing for the common, average user other than slow down his PC to a crawl and require outrageous amounts of hard drive space, RAM and CPU cycles. If you are even remotely considering using Vista, you had better have an uncle in the PC business as you're going to require a system with some truly massive power. All the people who think that just because their Centrino 512MB RAM laptop has a sticker that says it's "Vista Ready" that you'll actually be able to do something with it. Lots of luck!
There is so much sheer unadulterated trash gumming up the works on Vista that the average, normal user is truly well off by just turning the vast majority of it off. The readers of my Hubs are not generally the top multinational enterprise administrator types, but regular men and women who just use their computers for everyday common uses. I can assure you that well over 99% of these readers do not have any need whatsoever for the following Windows Vista services running all the time and turning your speedy computer into a mud bog slogger:
Infrared Monitor Service
KTMRM for Distributed Transaction Coordinator
Network Access Protection Agent
Peer Name Resolution Protocol
Pen Service
PnP-X IP Bus Enumerator Service
Remote Access Connection Manager
Remote Registry
Secondary Logon
SL UI Notification Service
SSDP Discover Service
Tablet PC Input Service
TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper
UPnP Device Host
Virtual Disk
WebClient
Windows Management Instrumentation
Windows Media Center Extender Service
WinHTTP WebProxy AutoDiscovery Service
and let's not even mention Aero! (Gag!)
These are the ones that can be easily terminated in common, everyday scenarios and you'd never miss them for an instant. However, there is a really great resource over at Black Viper. It lists every single service that runs on every flavor of Vista and which ones can be terminated and under what situations. It also gives you specific and easy to follow instructions on how to do that! Turning many of these off will make your system fast and responsive again. If you were stupid enough to buy Vista, do something smart for a change! Go check out that website and start turning off all that useless OS junk!

Why do earthworms die when salt is sprinkled on them?

2007-11-08T15:18:00.000+05:30

Why do earthworms die when salt is sprinkled on them?

Earthworms are grouped under the animal phylum Annedlida, which was derived from the Latin word, anellus meaning “little” rings. As this name implies, the body of an earth worm seems to be made up of several rings which is known as segmented body.

The skin of the earth worm secretes mucous. This mucous keeps the skin moist always, which is vital for the survival of earth worm. Earthworms have no respiratory organ and hence the respiration takes place through the moist skin.

The oxygen from the environment diffuses passively across the moist skin and it is carried by the circulatory system to the cells. Similarly Carbon Dioxide from the cells will also be carried by circulatory system and diffuses out through the moist skin. So the earthworms will die if their skin dries out.

Saltiness of the soil in which the earthworm lives is an important factor which decides it survival because earthworms are highly sensitive to salt stress. The salinity may reduce their growth at low salt concentrations or cause mortality at high salt concentrations.

They are unable to tolerate high ionic strength, because high salt concentration destroy their sensitive skin, the earthworms cannot have the control over the osmotic regulation. In addition, the neurosecretory cells in earthworms play a vital role in water balance as well as ionic and osmotic regulation.

The salt stress and desiccation significantly interfere with the functions of these neurosecretory cells. Hence salt like sodium chloride are extremely toxic to most of the earthworm species

Sodium Chloride could cause mortality at a concentration of 0.5 per cent itself, where as other alt such as potassium chloride are toxic at a concentration of more than 1 per cent. However, the salts at a lower concentrations may not cause mortality in earthworms, although they would substantially reduce the reproduction, especially production of cocoons

THE LIVING SOIL: EARTHWORMS

Of all the members of the soil food web, earthworms need the least introduction. Most people become familiar with these soft, slimy, invertebrates at a young age. Earthworms are hermaphrodites, meaning that they exhibit both male and female characteristics.

They are major decomposers of dead and decomposing organic matter, and derive their nutrition from the bacteria and fungi that grow upon these materials. They fragment organic matter and make major contributions to recycling the nutrients it contains.

Earthworms occur in most temperate soils and many tropical soils. They are divided into 23 families, more than 700 genera, and more than 7,000 species. They range from an inch to two yards in length and are found seasonally at all depths in the soil.

In ter ms of biomass and overall activity, earthworms dominate the world of soil invertebrates, including arthropods.

WHAT DO EARTHWORMS DO?

Earthworms dramatically alter soil structure, water movement, nutrient dynamics, and plant growth. They are not essential to all healthy soil systems, but their presence is usually an indicator of a healthy system. Earthworms perform several beneficial functions.

Stimulate microbial activity. Although earthworms derive their nutrition from microorganisms, many more microorganisms are present in their feces or casts than in the organic matter that they consume. As organic matter passes through their intestines, it is fragmented and inoculated with microorganisms. Increased microbial activity facilitates the cycling of nutrients from organic matter and their conversion into forms readily taken up by plants.

Mix and aggregate soil. As they consume organic matter and mineral particles, earthworms excrete wastes in the form of casts, a type of soil aggregate. Charles Darwin calculated that earthworms can move large amounts of soil from the lower strata to the surface and also carry organic matter down into deeper soil layers. A large proportion of soil passes through the guts of earthworms, and they can turn over the top six inches (15 cm) of soil in ten to twenty years.

Increase infiltration. Earthworms enhance porosity as they move through the soil. Some species make permanent burrows deep into the soil. These burrows can persist long after the inhabitant has died, and can be a major conduit for soil drainage, particularly under heavy rainfall. At the same time, the burrows minimize surface water erosion. The horizontal burrowing of other species in the top several inches of soil increases overall porosity and drainage.

Improve water-holding capacity. By fragmenting organic matter, and increasing soil porosity and aggregation, earthworms can significantly increase the water-holding capacity of soils.

Provide channels for root growth. The channels made by deep-burrowing earthworms are lined with readily available nutrients and make it easier for roots to penetrate deep into the soil.
Bury and shred plant residue. Plant and crop residue are gradually buried by cast material deposited on the surface and as earthworms pull surface residue into their burrows

WHERE ARE EARTHWORMS?

Different species of earthworms inhabit different parts of the soil and have distinct feeding strategies. They can be separated into three major ecological groups based on their feeding and burrowing habits. All three groups are common and important to soil structure.

Surface soil and litter species – Epigeic species. These species live in or near surface plant litter. They are typically small and are adapted to the highly variable moisture and temperature conditions at the soil surface. The worms found in compost piles are epigeic and are unlikely to survive in the low organic matter environment of soil.

Upper soil species – Endogeic species. Some species move and live in the upper soil strata and feed primarily on soil and associated organic matter (geophages). They do not have permanent burrows, and their temporary channels become filled with cast material as they move through the soil, progressively passing it through their intestines.

Deep-burrowing species – Anecic species. These earthworms, which are typified by the “night crawler,” Lumbricus terrestris, inhabit more or less permanent burrow systems that may extend several meters into the soil. They feed mainly on surface litter that they pull into their burrows. They may leave plugs, organic matter, or cast (excreted soil and mineral particles) blocking the mouth of their burrows.

LOOKING FOR EARTHWORMS?

It is easy to determine whether you have an adequate population of earthworms in your soil. Look for their casts in the forms of little piles of soil, mineral particles, or organic matter at the soil surface. They can be seen moving over the soil surface or even breeding, particularly on warm, damp nights. Dump a spadeful of moist soil into a bucket or onto a sheet of plastic, and sort through for earthworms. Can you identify different species? To find the deep burrowing species, pour a dilute mustard solution onto the soil. Many will quickly come to the soil surface in response to this irritant.

ABUNDANCE AND DISTRIBUTION OF EARTHWORMS

The majority of temperate and many tropical soils support significant earthworm populations. A square yard of cropland in the United States can contain from 50-300 earthworms, or even larger populations in highly organic soils. A similar area of grassland or temperate woodlands will have from 100-500 earthworms. Based on their total biomass, earthworms are the predominant group of soil invertebrates in most soils.

The family of earthworms that is most important in enhancing agricultural soil is Lumbricidae, which includes the genuses Lumbricus, Aporrectodea, and several others. Lumbricids originated in Europe and have been transported by human activities to many parts of the world. The United States has only one or two known native species of lumbricids. Others were brought to this country by settlers (probably in potted plants from Europe), and were distributed down the waterways.

Generally, lumbricids are much more common in the north and east than in the drier south and west of the United States. They tend to be more abundant in loam and clay loam and even in silty soil, than in sandy soil and heavy clay. Populations also build up in irrigated soil. Earthworm populations tend to increase with soil organic matter levels and decrease with soil disturbances, such as tillage and potentially harmful chemicals.

Ferena is presently acting in Ketan Mehta’s movie Rang Rasiya in which she plays a Parsi girl. Set in the late nineteenth century, the film is based on the real story of painter Raja Ravi Verma, played by actor Randeep Hooda .

Ferena has also been signed for Soni Razdan’s next film which is tentatively titled ‘Amritsar – A Love Story’. The movie is based on Manju Kapur’s novel ‘Difficult Daughters’ and has Ferena playing a young girl who falls in love with her teacher.

Apart from this, Ferena is also in talks with a big corporate house for a three-film deal about which she is not eager to reveal many details. She has also shot a music video each with A R Rahman and Hariharan.

Ferena has not just set her eyes on Bollywood. She will also act in two international projects. The first one is a film by Bosnian director Danis Tanovic. It may be recalled that Tanovic’s movie ‘No Man’s Land’ defeated Aamir Khan’s Lagan in the Oscar race a few years back. Tanovic’s next movie will have Ferena playing a Pakistani girl. The film will be shot in Patiala, Punjab.

Ferena has also been roped for a film by a German director. In the movie she plays a Bollywood actress. To increase her repertoire, Ferena is learning classical singing and Kathak dance. Her Bollywood dream is to work with topnotch directors.

Smiling Animals !!!!

2007-11-08T15:04:00.000+05:30

We Human beings love to be always happy and laughing and smiling are considered as the symbols of Happiness. Just opposite of the happiness is Sorrow. Crying is seems to be the common symbol of sorrow. This is a human nature.

But have you ever think about same situation in animals and how they express their happiness and sorrow? I heard and read regarding this subject and what I noticed that commonly people having the viewpoint that animals can’t laugh. Scientists and animal observers are still studying about the same issue. They believe that animals also can laugh

Eventhouh we human beings are well developed, once we also were like the animals. Due to the changes that occurred in human brain this particular species developed miraculously. Development of human brain was so fast. They learned and invent new and new things and now in the utmost stage of development.

Same like us animals are also a part of this universe and them also having the same biological features as human being. Animals also making mates and reproduction also happening with them. But why can’t they laugh. That is my question. Our predecessors were monkeys. After so many changes now humans are in today’s position or form. Don’t forget this fact

In my viewpoint animals also can laugh. I also got some interesting pictures to prove my statement. When a human make particular movements or jesters with his face, we find he or she is laughing or smiling. Look at these animals. They are also similar jesters with the face. I believe that they are laughing. Let them be happy always. Thank You
Friends What you think about this subject?

Encyclopedia of Buddhism

2007-11-08T15:03:00.000+05:30

Buddhism, according to the editor in chief of this encyclopedia, "is one of the
three major world religions, along with Christianity and Islam." Unlike the
other two, however, Buddhism lacks substantial reference works in Western
languages. The majority are single-volume works, defining terms, concepts,
deities, etc. The Encyclopedia of Buddhism, on the other hand, "seeks to
document the range and depth of the Buddhist tradition in its many
manifestations."

The nearly 500 entries are alphabetically arranged, signed by their authors, and
conclude with see references and supplemental bibliographies. Article length
ranges from 50 to 4,000 words. There are illustrations throughout, including
three maps on the diffusion of Buddhism in Asia as well as an eight-page insert
of color plates in each volume. The set ends with several time lines of Buddhist
history and a good index. Given the long history Buddhism has enjoyed and the
many different cultural regions and national traditions in which it has
developed, two volumes are not enough to do the subject justice. Consequently,
the entries tend to be thematic and inclusive in nature, with specific mention
of, say, an individual or place being made within a broader survey article.
While the cosmological, doctrinal, and ritual aspects of Buddhism are covered
extensively, entries also treat the cultural, social, and political contexts
that have shaped and been shaped by Buddhist thought (e.g., Economics,
Education, Law). Entries for geographic locations provide nice historical
surveys of the development of Buddhism to the present day and include the U.S
and Europe. Buddhism's interaction with other world religions and philosophies
(e.g., Christianity and Buddhism, Communism and Buddhism, Jainism and Buddhism)
is treated. Finally, recognizing that Buddhism is a force in the world today,
the editor has included entries that provide Buddhist perspectives on issues of
contemporary concern (e.g., Abortion, Gender, Modernity and Buddhism).

First to Know When Private BT Torrent Sites Registration Sign Up Open Time with Tracker Checker

2007-09-23T20:36:00.000+05:30

Searching and looking for an account, invite, or waiting for open registration period to register and sign up at popular private BitTorrent tracker sites? There are a lot of public and private torrent tracker sites on the Internet that does not always open for free registration, but often features a lot of fast seeders, best downloadable contents and extreme fast download speed which may max out ADSL bandwidth limit. And most requires users to maintain a good upload/download ratios, else account will be banned.

That’s why the giveaway these highly sought after private torrent tracker sites account is very strict too. Most requires special invite or invitation code to signup as users during closed registration period. But most do has open public registration duration, where everybody can sign up and register an account for free. However, the registration openings don’t happen frequently, and even if the registration is now opened, you may miss the free offering as you simply don’t know when these BitTorrent tracker sites will open for registration.

Tracker Checker is an utility software by a Slovenian StamCar to help you be the first one to know when a torrent tracker site opens for free registration without the need of invite. Tracker Checker automatically monitor and check for status of open signups at private torrent tracker websites which do not allow instant account activation all the time. The program offers a huge list of trackers and users simply need to check (tick) whichever the ones they’re interested in. The program then checks every selected trackers at the interval of every 2 minutes (default and can be configured to your preference) to see if it’s possible to register on a chosen tracker. When a tracker with open registrations is detected, a notification pop up at system tray area to inform and notify user. Click on Tracker Checker icon will open the program’s window, and users can just double click on the tracker site or click on URL button with status indicated to “OPEN!”, Tracker Checker will open up the BT tracker site’s account registration sign up page on default web browser.

Other feature, which probably you no need to use, is add or remove tracker sites from the list via trackers.xml file located in the program’s directory.

Download Tracker Checker 1.2
Download Tracker Checker 1.3 Beta

Tracker Check version 2 offers more feature enhancements such as add new trackers to complement the list and remove the ones that you don’t want to use from within program.

To run the program, Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 x86 or Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 x64 is required.

Almost all popular private bit torrent trackers are supported, such as TorrentBytes.net, FileList.org, PiSexy.org, TorrentIt.com, BitMe.org, BitMeTV.org, TranceTraffic.com, TorrentLeech.org, FileMP3.org, BitSoup.org, SloBytes.net, SweBits.org, Wild-Bytes.org, PolishTracker.org, UKnova.com, Dutchnova.com, PirateBits.org, Tracker.Traasje.nl, Beuqen.nl, Noviteti.com, Anderssons.ath.cx, Podzemlje.com, ILoveTorrents.com, PornBits.net, PureTNA.com, Empornium.us, Demonoid.com (a lot of interested people requests it here and here), PussyTorrents.org, Libble.com, SupremeTorrents.co.uk, FileBits.org, OiNK, TeraBT.net, ArabFilms.org, PornYU.com, FilePorn.org, Nordic-T.org, MP3share.net, ShareTorrents.pl, Underground-Gamer.com, MovieHouse.nl, DanishBits.org, 1BT.ru, SweTorrents.no-ip.org, Revolt.org.uk, POTUK, EvolutionTT.org, Torrent-Plaza.no-ip.org, ZombTracker.the-zomb.com, MixerMusic.net, BoxBit.org, Katastrofa.com, Arab-Files.org, HomemadePornTorrents.com, SuperTorrents.net, AudioNews.ru, MySpleen.net, TeknoMassif.com, UrbanChaosVideos.org, BootyTorrents.com, BT.XBox-Sky.com, TheMixingBowl.org, PianoSheets.org, MuffTorrent.com and IndieTorrents.com

Creating a Realistic Looking Object Using V-Ray In 3D Studio Max

2007-08-27T01:51:00.000+05:30

This tutorial will teach you how to create a realistic looking object using V-Ray which is a very popular renderer that is widely used in the making of movies and videogames. V-Ray is not a built-in tool in 3D Studio Max and will have to be installed before attempting this tutorial. You can learn more about V-Ray from the official website of Chaos Group - the makers of V-Ray. This tutorial is only involved with the process of creating a V-Ray render and will not involve any modeling. ..

There are three different elements in our scene above, the teapot, the floor, and the surrounding environment. We will have to create and apply three different materials to each of these objects to create our final scene. The texture on the floor was created using an external image editor, and the same goes to the image reflected on the pot as well. We have uploaded the textures that we have used so that you can follow this tutorial easily. Please download the zip file at this link and extract the two files in it before we start this tutorial.

We will start by setting up our scene; go to Create>Geometry>Plane to create a simple plane in the centre of our scene. Your plane should have the following specs: Width: 150, Length:150, Length Seg: 1, Width Seg: 1, Render Multipliers: 100.

We are using the 'Teapot' object in our tutorial. You may use any object that you wish, but for the sake of the tutorial add a 'Teapot' by going to Create>Geometry>Teapot and set its parameters as illustrated in the image below:

Our scene is now ready, before we start creating our materials, we need to setup the render engine to use V-Ray. Start off by going through Rendering>Render>Common>Assign Render>Production>Vray Render and set the initial parameters of the renderer under the "Renderer" tab as illustrated in the image below:

The Adaptive Subdivision is one of the three antialasing algorithms that V-Ray uses. The Irradiance Map is a method of computing the illumination only at specific points in the scene. Please refer to the V-Ray documentation for more information.

Under the same tab, find the "Environment" rollout and activate the two available "Overrides" - Namely, the GI Environment and the Reflection Environment effects. You will have to assign a material for both which will work as environment map, click on the button that says "None" to access the "Material/Map Browser" where you would have to look for and select "VRay HDRI". After clicking on OK, you can simply drag the now "Map#1 (VRayHDRI)" to the button below it saying "None" to duplicate its content.

Click to Enlarge

While keeping the VRay window still open, access the "Material Editor" by pressing "M" on your keyboard or going through Rendering>Material Editor. You will then have to drag the button you dragged earlier "Map#1 (VRayHDRI)" to the first slot in your Material Editor.

Click to Enlarge

We will now use the map that you have downloaded at the start of this tutorial. Select the first slot in the Material Editor and then click on "Browse" under the Parameters rollout. Find the map that you have downloaded. Once selected, set the Map type to "Cubic environment".

Floor Material

Select the second slot in the Material Editor and then click on the "Standard" button to open the Material/Map Browser. Select "VRayMtl" from that list and click on OK. Click then on the square button next to the Diffuse colour to open the Material/Map Browser once again, this time you have to select "Bitmap" to use the Bitmap.jpg that you have downloaded at the start of this tutorial.

Click to Enlarge

Search for the "Coordinates" rollout in the materials properties and set the 'tilling' to X=1200 and Y=1200. You would also have to set the Mapping to "Planar from Object XYZ". Our material is now almost done. Apply it to the plane that we have on the stage by clicking on the 'Assign Material to Object' button: .

We are now going to make our floor more realistic by adding bump and reflection maps to it. Get back to the parent material by clicking this button: . Scroll down and open the "Maps" rollout and drag a material from 'Diffuse' to the "Reflect" map. Select a copy on the pop up window and drag it again to 'Bump" map and select "Instance" on the pop up window. Go the Bitmap Settings of 'Diffuse', look for the "Output" rollout and set the Output Amount to 1.3.

Click to Enlarge

The Teapot Material

We are going to create our final material now. Select an empty slot in the Material Editor. Hit the 'Standard' button and select "Raytrace" from the Material/Map list. Change the 'Diffuse' colour to dark red (or whatever colour you wish to use for your pot!) and set the reflection colour to gray. Set the specular level to zero. Finally, drag the material in the first slot (Our VRayHRD material) to the Environment map.

Click to Enlarge

You can optionally change the reflection colour to white to get a more mirror like reflection on the teapot. You do not have to do this for our tutorial, but it is a nice element to experiment with on your own. You can now simply apply the material that we have created to our teapot using the "Assign Material to Object" button. Render the scene once you're ready and you should get something similar to the image displayed here:

3DSM - Object Explosion (tutorial)

2007-08-27T01:40:00.000+05:30

Here you will be taught how to blow up an object.

1) Make any object you want. I used a sphere.

2)	Go to CREATE > PARTICLES > PARRAY

3)	Create a PArray somewhere, it doesn't matter what size it is. I made my small so it doesn't get in my way.

4)	Click where it say PICK OBJECT then click on the sphere. Then set the PArray to these setting. You can play around with the Object Fragment Controls and the Spin Speed Controls to rotate or change the shape of the chuncks.

5)	At the bottom you will see a time-line. Move it to see how your object explodes. I moved mine to 4 and you can see what it looks like.

6)	Thats it. If you want to get rid of the original sphere and just have the chunks, rigth click on the sphere and click "Hide selected object". Here what mine looks like.

3D Ice Cube (Photoshop tute)

2007-08-27T01:29:00.000+05:30

In this tutorial we'll try to build a realistic 3D ice cube. Usually this kind of stuff is done with the help of some 3D software like Maya or 3DMax, still we'll try to use Photoshop tools to do the work.
To make the job easier I searched the Internet and found this Lightwawe tutorial, and try to emulate it's final result using only Photoshop. To do that we must have a closer look at the way a 3D software works.
First the 3d object is build, then a proper illumination environment is build around object, and finally some material texture is attached on the surfaces of the object, with respective illumination rules working on it.

Tutorial is organized in steps, each step will contain the description of actions taken, and the result you should get. All work was done in Adobe Photoshop CS2, and I assume that you have some intermediate knowledge of working with Photoshop..
You will start with the a dark background and a 3D cube of three layers (left, top, front). (this will be some kind of step 0 :-) ...)

So here are the steps:

Step 1. First we assume that the source (spotlight) will be somwhere on the left side of the cube , let's say upper left, so how is the light behavior on cube ? From the school physics, we know that the when light meets some surface it will reflect (coming back, and therefore illuminating the object) , or it will refract, penetrating the object if this has some degree of transparency, and changing its direction. So in our case, the left face of the cube will be strong illuminated, some light will penetrate the cube, traverse it on diagonal way , and refract out again, close to the right edge on the front face of the cube. To picture this, we shall use the dodge tool, to emphasis the illuminated zones. Keep in mind that we have established the light source to be on the upper left of the cube. Select:
Dodge Tool with Range:Highlits, Exposure:60%
and on these three layers simply draw the entry and out points for light as discussed. Looks a little bit grossier, but this operation will have no influence over the final result, the goal is only to familiarize you with illuminated zones and how to deal with dodge tool to achive this.

Step 2. Next, we'll have render some texture over the cube. Unfortunately, we do not have much of a choice, we can take some external texture and integrate it, but we'll stick to old render clouds method. For each face of the cube we'll apply the same steps so let's take the front layer:
Duplicate layer, you'll get a front copy layer. Select again front layer, set foreground color to black, background to white, fill the layer with white and do:
Filter->Render->Difference Clouds
, repeat operation (Ctrl-F) until you get a structure with enough black-white contrast and distinct random zones within. This layer will be the 'raw' material for further prelucrations. The problem is that difference clouds filter can't be manipulated in order to build inner clouds structure on one directin, it's a random process, so we can't emulate some regularity in texture, as sometimes happens in real world. To work this, select the front layer copy and do:
Filter->Render->Fibres with parameters Variance:16, Strength:26. Align fibers orientation with face layer orientation, and this is what you should have:

Make fibres layer invisible for now, set the background color to white, select front layer, choose Magic Wand tool, click no matter where, outside the layer, then
Select->Inverse,
Select->Feather, with Feather Radius:10, go on with
Filter->Distort->Ocean Ripple,with Ripple Size:9, Ripple Magnitude:14, deselect, then
Filter->Blur->Gaussian Blur
with Radius:1-1,3, and this is what you should have (or close):

Let's give it a nice blue color, so
Image->Adjustment->Color Balance with values -100,-36, +100.

Step 3. Now take a deep breath and repeat all steps for the two remaining layers of the cube, the top, and the left. But before that, just a piece of advice: as you maybe already noticed, I manipulated the difference cloud result in such a way, that after applying Ocean Ripple Filter, the white portions resulted, will emulate the light reflections, in fact refractions for front layer case. Keep in mind the illumination pattern, we draw at the beginning of this tutorial. Also do not forget the fiber layers associated with left and top faces. This was the result for me:

Step 4. Now bring the fiber layer over corresponding, top, left and front layers, align these as perfect as possible, merge them into one layer, name it final_cube, and do the following:
1. first blur the shown zones marked in red:
Filter->Blur->Gaussian Blur with Radius:1,3
2. use doge tool on zones marked in white:
Dogde Tool, Range:Highlights, Exposure:60%
3. desaturate zone marked in dark
Select->Feather with value in between 10-15, then
Image->Adjustments->Hue/Saturation with saturation value in between -60,-70;
In order to enhance that light blue areas near by the white ones do:
Image->Adjustments->Selective Color, with Method:Relative, select Whites, set Cyan slider value: 70-100%
Here are marked working areas:

...and here is the result for me:

Step 5. Our cube looks ok, but still is lacking some ice texture and edges has to be enhanced, by marking their curvature with some thin fiber textures. We'll take the upper left edge, so make new layer:
Layer->New->Layer select a rectangle aprox. by the size of our cube, fill this new layer with white name it 'texture_upper_left', then:
Filter->Render->Fibres with parameters Variance:16, Strength:26 bring the layer in front, rotate in such a way that the fiber direction to be cross with the edge direction, then
Edit->Transform-Warp, do the modeling by 'bending' the fiber layer over the edge. Here is the result:

Remove with a soft erase tool the unnecessary parts of the layer, bring it to the 10-12% transparency, set the layer blend mode to overlay. Here is the partial result:

Repeat these steps for other two edges. Repeat these steps, without warp part for other three fibered layers associeted with top, front, and left starting layers. Merge this layers all together. You should have something like this:

Step 6. We can stop here, but we are still not pleased with the cube's look, so that's what we'll do more:

arrange the front corner with some illuminations touch

putting some irregularities the outer edges of the cube, to give it more realistic look

arrange a nice background

So, create a new layer, name it 'corner' draw a selection around left edge of the ice cube front corner, set a feather about 10 value, and fill the selection with blue (#3287d7), as seen in the picture below; select again dodge tool (range:highlights, exposure: 50-80%) and draw the reflection areas. Using different exposures values you can emulate spot of lights near diffuse light. The images bellow shows this:

Tweak, until you feel that you've got the best realistic appeareance, finally remove selections and with a soft brush eraser tool remove the dark blue, just let some around the lighted zone to emphasis the area. Take care at the blending 'corner' layer with the background. Do the same with for right edge of the corner. Or simply just recycle the layer already made, duplicate it, rotate in position and tweak a little. You may use liquify filter to arrange pixels, layer mask for better blending, brushes, whatever you think will do. This is my result:

And finally, with a soft brush eraser tool (master diameter:5px) delete some irreguralities around the cube as no real ice cube has perfect line edges. Increase the contrast a little bit, and draw the background with the shadow (remember the light source is on upper left corner !) and some reflections at the base of the cube. The FINAL result:

That's all friends, have fun !

Rendering objects in a solid/wire mix (3dmax)

2007-08-25T02:05:00.000+05:30

In this tutorial you will learn how to render an object to an image with both the solid and the wireframe render, without using PhotoShop or anything else than 3D Studio Max. Key terms include wire, Opacity map, Push modifier and Lattice modifier. This tutorial is aimed at the beginner, but should be interesting for the more advanced 3D artists as well. Although this tutorial is based on 3D Studio Max, the same techniques apply to many other 3D products.

Note: Click on the thumbnail in each step for a larger screenshot that includes the viewports and the relevant portion of the user interface.

	Step 1

This is not a modeling tutorial, so you need to add an object to your scene yourself. This can be anything from simple sphere to a detailed character. I used part of the nut from our logo.

For good results, the model needs to be textured or have some basic material(s) assigned to it.

	Step 2

Select the object and press CTRL-V to clone it. In the Clone Options dialog, select Copy, change the name to Clone, and press OK.

(You won't be able to see the clone yet.)

	Step 3

Select the clone (this happens automatically when you clone an object), and add a Push modifier with a Push Value of 0.30 (or more, or less, depending on the geometry of the model, you should fine tune this setting in step 7).

	Step 4

This step is optional. If you use an object with a MeshSmooth modifier, or if the model is an Editable Poly with NURMS Subdivision enabled, lower down the Iterations value.

For example, if the original object has an Iterations value of 1, set the Iterations value of the clone to 0.

	Step 5

Press the M key to open the Material Editor (or select Material Editor from the Rendering menu), select an available slot and rename the material to Wire.

Change the Diffuse color to the color you want to use for the wire frame.

Drag the material to the outer object in the scene to assign it, or click the Assign Material to Selection button while the outer object is selected.

	Step 6

Enable the Wire option for the material as shown in the screen shot. Scroll down a bit in the Material Editor and open the Extended parameters roll-out.

Change the wireframe thickness to 0.3 (try other values after rendering to check which works best for your model).

	Step 7

Now press F9 or F10 to render and check out the results.

If the wireframe goes inside the solid model on certain spots, you should increase the Push value of the Push modifier on the clone. If there is (too much) space between the solid and the wireframe model, decrease the Push value.

	Step 8

This is another optional step for those using a smoothed model. If the clone has less Iterations it might not follow the solid model close enough to look good. You can solve this, for most models, by adding a Relax modifier to the clone. You will probably have to increase the Push value a bit more if you do use a Relax modifier.

	Step 9

You probably noticed examples on the web of objects rendered solid with only a portion of the wireframe fading away. This can be done within 3D Studio Max, without using an image editor.

Select the Wire material in the Material Editor, and click the empty square button after Opacity. Select Gradient from the list and click OK.

	Step 10

The Opacity map needs a black (transparent) and a white portion (visible). Gray will result in semi-transparent. Instead of using a Gradient map, you can also use a Checker, Falloff, or any other kind of map/texture that has black and white parts. Set the 2nd color of the Gradient map to nearly black.

Render again (F9 or F10) and notice part of the wireframe fading away. (You may need to change the settings of the opacity map, ie. tiling or rotating it.)

I've also included a second render in the screenshot with a tiled Checker map as the Opacity map.

	Step 11

Now let's use a whole different approach to create a wireframe-like object: the Lattice modifier.
First select the Wire material in the Material Editor and disable the Wire option. Remove the Opacity map (by dragging an empty map to it).
Select the clone object and apply a Lattice modifier with the values as displayed in the screenshot (or values that apply better to your model).

	Step 12

Render again and check out the results.

You may need to increase the Push Value of the Push modifier to get the balls at the junctions to lean on the inner original model.

	Step 13

Instead of showing the both edges and the balls, you can also choose to display only the balls at the junctions by selecting the Joints Only from Vertices option in the Lattice modifier settings, or show only the edges by selecting the Struts Only from Edges option in the Lattice modifier settings

	Step 14

You can use the same Opactiy map method as we used earlier to make the wireframe fade away.

Creating Realistic Glass (3D max tute)

2007-08-25T02:01:00.001+05:30

In this tutorial you will learn how to create a realistic glass material and turn our chess pawn into a realistic glass object. Key terms include reflection, refraction, opacity, and fall-off. This tutorial is aimed at the beginner, but since there are several ways to create glass, it might be interesting for everyone else as well. Although this tutorial is based on 3D Studio Max, the same settings apply to many other 3D products.

Note: Click on the thumbnail in each step for a larger screenshot that includes the viewports and the relevant portion of the user interface.

Step 1

Because this tutorial covers only how to create the glass material you need to add an object to your scene yourself. This can be anything from the simple pawn we use (download it here) to the sophisticated high detail models you create. ;)

Step 2

Press the M key to open the Material Editor (or select Material Editor from the Rendering menu) and rename the first material to Glass.

Drag the material to your object in the scene to assign it.

Step 3

Set the Ambient and Diffuse color of the material to black. And set the Specular Level to 275 and Glossiness to 45.

Step 4

Click on the blank square button after Opacity and add a Falloff map. Set the Falloff Type to Fresnel (click here for an additional screen shot).

Go up one level, back to the Glass material, by choosing Glass from the drop down menu (where it says Map #3, see the additional screen shot.)

Step 5

Now that the main Glass material is select again, scroll down in the Material Editor and add a new Raytrace map in the Refraction slot. Set the Refraction level to 80.

Step 6

To make the reflections and the colors smooth, instead of grainy, you will have to enable Supersampling for the Glass material (just above the Maps rollout. Enable the option Enable Sampler and choose a method from the list. In most cases the Max 2.5 Star will do just fine, but if your machine can handle it, you can try others that may give better results.

Step 7

You can press F9 now to do a quick render, but it won't look much like glass yet. First you will need to make some changes to your scene, the environment. Remember that glass is almost entirely transparent and can be seen only because of the reflections of light and objects in its surroundings.
Let's start with adding a ground plane. Assign it a wood material from the Material Library (we used the default Wood_Ashen). Make sure the plane is large as shown in the screen shot.

Step 8

Next, let's makes some changes to the environment as the glass will need something to reflect. You can add object and a sky and such yourself, but for the sake of this tutorials an environment map will do. From the Rendering menu, select Environment (or press 8). Click the big empty button below Environment Map and select Background_Mountains (or any other background) from the Mtl Library.

Step 9

If you render your scene again, you will see it will look very different and really "glass-like". However, there are ways to make it more realistic. You could start by enabling the 2-Sided option for the Glass material. This will allow us to see the inside of the model. Click the thumb on the right for more info.
Render again, and notice the difference, if any. The results won't always look good, depending on the model.

Step 10

Let's try another trick I like to use to make the glass more realistic, although it will make the glass object a hollow object (which is fine for many glass objects and often even desired). Select your object and press CTRL-V (select Copy and click OK) to clone it. Apply a Push modifier to the clone and set the push value to -0.5 (try other values after rendering to check which works best for your model).

Step 11

In the Material Editor make a copy of the Glass material and name it Glass Int. Make sure the option 2-Sided is enabled for the Glass Int material but disabled for the Glass material. Assign the Glass Int material to the clone and make sure the original Glass material is assigned to the outside model.

Step 12

Render again (F9 or F10) and notice the difference. You should end up with something similar as shown on the right. The actual result will depend mostly on the geometry of your model and its environment. Try out different background and check out the results.

This concludes my glass material tutorial. Thanks for reading!

Creating gold, silver, and copper materials (3D Max)

2007-08-25T01:55:00.000+05:30

In this tutorial you will learn how to create gold, silver, and copper material. Key terms include reflection, specular, index of refraction, fresnel, and fall-off. This tutorial is aimed at both beginners and professionals. Although this tutorial is based on 3D Studio Max, the same settings (such as the RGB color values) apply to many other 3D products.

In my search for gold material and other metals such as silver and copper, I noticed there are a lot of different opinions on how to create them. There is probably some truth in most of them, but since many of those opinions conflict, they can't all be right. I'm not saying I'm right either, I'm probably not actually because there is always room for improvement. I've read several boring papers and done about 40 test renders (that takes about two eternities on my PC) before I got acceptable results. Let's just say that the examples below work for me and with or without a little tweaking they might work for you too.

If you don't feel like going thru all the steps in this tutorial, you can download a matlib (.mat) file for 3D Studio Max thru a link at the bottom of this tutorial.

Note: Click on the thumbnail in each step for a larger screenshot that includes the viewports and the relevant portion of the user interface....

Step 1

Create a new sphere and place it in the center of the Perspective viewport with Radius 30 and Segments 40 On the Left viewport, move up the sphere as shown in the screenshot.

Open the Material Editor (select from Rendering menu or press M key) and assign the first material to the sphere and rename the material to Gold 24k.

Step 2

In the Material Editor click the Standard button (next to the name Gold 24K) and select Raytrace from the list. Change the Shading type to Blinn.

Step 3

Set the Diffuse color to RGB 70,40,0.

Step 4

Set the Specular color to RGB 255,240,215. Set the Specular Level to 100 (for now)* and Glossiness to 65.

*In a completed scene with lighting and other objects in the environment you probably want to set the Specular Level to 0 and have an object that emits light create the specular reflections in the gold object.

Step 5

Click on the empty square button next to the Reflection color, select Falloff from the list and click OK.

Step 6

Set the second color (click the white box) to RGB 255,200,100.

Set the Falloff Type to Fresnel, and set the Index of Refraction value to 15.

Step 7

Press the Background button to display the colored checkerboard and get a better idea of how it will look in a scene.

Step 8

Now click the Go to Parent button and scroll down to the SuperSampling section of the material.

Enable the Enable Sampler option and choose Max 2.5 Star or if you have a fast computer choose Hammersley.

Step 9

Next, let's makes some changes to the environment as the gold won't look good in just a black environment. It needs something like another object to reflect.

Select Environment from the Rendering menu and set the Background Color to white. Close the Environment dialog box.

Step 10

Add a ground Plane on the Top viewport with Length: 1000 and Width: 1000.

Step 11

Open the Material Editor again and select the material below Gold 24K and rename it from 7 - Default to GroundPlane.

Click the small empty quare button next to the Diffuse color, select Checker from the list, and click OK.

Step 12

Set the Tiling to 9 for both the U and the V. Set the W Angle to 45.

Assign the material to the plane object you jsut created (Plane01). You can do this by dragging the material to Plane01 in a viewport, or by clicking the Assign Material to Selection button in the Material Editor. Click the Show Map in Viewport button to display the material in the viewport.

Step 13

Rotate the Perspective viewport and zoom in on the ball as shown in the screen shot. Press F9 or F10 to render the Perspective viewport and check out the results.

We used the default lighting setup in this render, but if you do add lights yourself, and you want to make it more realistic, lower down the Refrection value to a minimum of 40 (on the Maps rollout section of the Gold 24K material in the Material Editor).

Step 14

Silver looks similar to gold, so we can change the Gold 24K material to a silver material quite easily.

Open the Material Editor and drag and copy the Gold 24K material to the material next to it and change its name to Silver.

Change the Diffuse color to RGB 197,198,200.

Step 15

Set the Specular color to white (RGB 255,255,255).

Set the Specular Level to 90 and the Glossiness to 50.

Step 16

Scroll down in the Material Editor and open the Maps section. Change the Reflect level to 70 and click the Map #X (Falloff) button.

Step 17

Change the second color of the Falloff map to RGB 228,229,231 and change the Index of Refraction value to 10.

Assign the material to the sphere object by dragging the material to Sphere01 in a viewport, or by selecting the Sphere and clicking the Assign Material to Selection button in the Material Editor.

Step 18

Press F9 or F10 to render the Perspective viewport and check out the results.

Step 19

Now for the last metal in this tutorial: copper. Copper is kinda brown/orange and is less reflective than gold and copper.

Open the Material Editor and copy the Silver material to the material next to it, and rename it to Copper.

Change the Diffuse color to RGB 225,87,51.

Step 20

Set the Specular color to white (RGB 255,214,196).

Set the Specular Level to 80 and the Glossiness to 40.

Step 21

Scroll down in the Material Editor and open the Maps section. Change the Reflect level to 40 and click the Map #X (Falloff) button.

Step 22

Change the second color of the Falloff map to RGB RGB 255,214,196 and change the Index of Refraction value to 7.

Assign the material to the sphere object by dragging the material to Sphere01 in a viewport, or by selecting the Sphere and clicking the Assign Material to Selection button in the Material Editor.

Step 23

Press F9 or F10 to render the Perspective viewport and check out the results.

As I mentioned in the introduction, the materials may need a little tweaking to fit your purpose. Try playing around with the reflection values for example. And if you want to make it more realistic, add a scratch map.

Building a necklace with 2 hearts (3D max tute)

2007-08-20T16:56:00.000+05:30

This is a simple tutorial that will teach you how to build a necklace with 2 hearts. The techniques that will be used are edit mesh and mesh smooth.

Building the heart: create a 3x4x2 box like in the image:

Apply an edit mesh modifier on the box and start modeling from the top view:

Move vertexes, or select them 2 by 2 (from the edges) and then scale down like in the images:

this is how the object should look now:

Next, select all the edges from the middle of the object, and then scaled them :

Now in the top view select the 2 edges marked with red (in fact you will select 4 edges, 2 edges on top and 2 on bottom but be sure not to have the "Ignore Backfacing" options checked in the edit mesh menu). Then move or scale (if you select all the 4 edges, if not, you will have to move the vertices for top and for bottom part):

you must do the same with other 4 + 4 vertices.

Next apply a mesh smooth with 3 iteration:

Create a torus and place it near the heart closely enough to create the sensation that was glued to the object. Then select and link the torus to the heart (this makes the heart the parent of the torus). Next select the torus and the heart and copy them (press shift and move the objects) to a location close to the original heart. Also create a plane and place it beneath the hearts. Then select the first heart and rotate it on the y and x axes. Now you do the same with the second heart but also you rotate it on the z axes, too. Be careful when rotating that the hearts don't intersect the plane.

The larger link is made from a torus with few segments and sides that I modified using edit mesh.Then Mesh smooth.

----

The normal links are made the same, using a torus with few faces: I selected the left vertices and rotated them on y axes. You do the same with the right vertices. Then you mesh smooth them.

Now you must create a spline that lies on the plane. Make sure that the spline is passing thorough the middle torus.

Next you'll use the spacing tool to multiply the smaller link to make the necklace. The spacing tools works just like the array tool only has some additional options, like choosing the spline you want your objects to follow . Be sure to check the options like in the second image:

This is how the scene should look:

Making abstract renders in 3d max and photoshop ( Tutorial )

2007-08-17T22:56:00.000+05:30

Before you start:

You need photoshop and 3d max. This is one long tutorial so get some soda, put on a movie and relax. ;)

Step 1 Make the shape

I hope your smart enough to have opened 3d max already so if not do so. I have 3d max 5.1 so if your using a version higher then im sure you can stil get the same effect if not better. So first we need to get our basic render shape. So girst make a Geosphere

Now we have something like that. Simple huh well now we have to add modifers to it to make it all abstract. So while the Geosphere is selected goto the modifers window.

Now to add the modifers to get the shape we want. First add Noise. You need to change the settings to get the shape you want.

Those are the settings I used and this is what I got from those. That is what kind of shape we want to make the best abstract design. Its sharp and looks damn cool right now. :) Also add a smooth mesh modifer too to make it nice and smooth. ( View image for all the settings )

Step 2 Create the abstract

Now we will create the abstract shape that we will make our render from. See out main finished render is not one complete 3d max file but a large number of the same render put together in photoshop. Ok now that is all cleared up we must duplicate the shape we have a it will all start to make sense. Ok this one is simple, select your shape and hold shift and simply move it to the left or right to copy it.
( View image )

Now we have to add more modifers. So select all you shapes at once and goto the modifers window. We will first add TWIST.

That is the shape I got after I added the twist modiger. here are the settings I used to get the effect.

So now we have some crazy abstract shape. Look cool, but not nearly as cool as we can make it. Well one thing, if your shape doesnt look anything like mine dont worry cause the effect will be different each time you do it. Plus you can also add more modifers such as bend to get more effects. Ok so now copy that shape like you did before. But make sure you have all of them selected. You should get something like this. Remember you dont have to copy me exactly.

Step 3 Field of view

Now we have to change the camera angle of render. To do that simply take the Field of view tool and pull the view of the render back to get a nice angle of view.

Rendering!!

1.Make sure your image looks the way you want it to be rendered. So the pic above is what I want the render to look like.
2. Now add a material.I didn't go all out with material cause really I just am way to tired to make a nice material. But thats not stoping you from making one. If you dont know how to make them well quit 3d max now cause your hopeless ;)
3. Ok we have our material and now we need to light the render. This one you should also know. I hope...but I will show you anyway.
4. Ok that was easy huh. Ok we have a material, a light and its all good. Ok now to Render.

So click on that and then down to render. Or hit f10 , then this should come up.

4b. Ok now that you have your render size typed in and your AA filter hit the render button.
So the render should finish and now you have to save it. Just click save and save as a jpeg.

Render it again and again

Ok what we need to do now is get about 5 to 6 more renders. Why? So we can make the image. Ok so remember how we rotated the render around so it looked different each time. Ya you remember that. So just do that a few more times and render each of them. Get it? Didnt think so....Ok so rotate the render around so it looks different and is at a different angle to have a different look at it. Then once you like that render it save it. By the way if when you move the render around and you get really bad "lag" its because of the MESH SMOOTH literations, change it to 1 to make it go faster.

Examples of the render in different angles.

Take note that render I made is very smooth and doesnt have a nice sharp angles and points and it doesnt look that great. That means I should have spent more time on my render and more time on the Noise modifer and tried to get it to be sharper. Dont worry you can always fix that. Just start over :) It takes a few tries to get it right. ( View image )

Photoshop

Now open photoshop and open up all the renders you made. Make a new 1600x3000 canvas and start adding your renders. This is where it all comes together. So here we go. You made 5 or 6 renders right? Now add them to the blank canvas and move them around and resize them and rotate them around and stick them together to get a nice image.

That's it :)
Example done using this technique.

3DStudio Max Modelling tutorial

2007-08-17T22:52:00.000+05:30

This tutorial should cover the full details of my method of modeling in 3d studio max. Note that this tutorial has been made in reverse starting with the final model (due to post-create demand for a tutorial) so the views you may see not look the same as yours also the specifix numverics on arrays are estimated.

Step 1:( View image )
Press f10, and set the required size of your render (ie 1000x1600) press close go to customize --> viewport config go to the safe frames tab and select show safe frames in active view now the canvas is set up.

Step 2:( View image )
From the standrad primatives create a torus, and angle it approximately like so ignore where the ground is in the image - its is reverse-engineered) create another torus within the first as shown.

Step 3:( View settings )( View image )
Group the two objects and apply a modifier --> Noise seed 1 x-strength 300 the result is shown above.

Step 4:( View image )
Use a Tools --> Array : Move x -40 y +15

Step 5:( View image )
Group the whole arm and apply another array rotate x+30 y+30

Step 6:( View image )
Groupe the 'spiral' and duplicate twice, move one just behind to build up the front structure with the second move it above. Behind and slightly rotated the fill more of the future canvas.

Step 7:( View image )
create the standard omni-light and position low on the right to create dramatic lighting across the front objects.

Step 8:( View image )
Heavily increase the "field of view" level and zoom back in until you achieve something similar to above.

Step 9:( View settings )( View settings 2 )
Under the materials set the ambient and diffuse colors to a nice blue/green set the specular level to 100 and the glossiness to 30. Under the material map set the opacity with a standard perlin marble map at 100% apply this material to all of the object groups

Step 10:( View image )
Press f10 and render

Here's an example where the model is used.

CG Clothes Tutorial - Photoshop tutorial

2007-08-17T22:50:00.000+05:30

CGing clothes is directly the same as CGing skin , when CGing different colors, keep colors on different layers (i.e Red shirt on Layer 1, Blue Jeans on Layer2) this helps to keep the colors from accidentally blending with each other..

1. Create a new layer. Using paintbrush on 100% opacity, fill in all the clothing areas of the desired color base. Don't worry about the sloppiness, it will be fixed later.

2. Using a midtone (slightly darker) shade of your base color with paintbrush on 25% opacity, shade in the areas that would have shadows. Afterwards, switch the opacity to 50% and continue (Use same shading technique as the Skin shading - this can bea bit sloppy too.)

3. Next, using a deeptone ( darker than midtone ) with the paintbrush back to 25% opacity, add shadows ONLY where it would be darkest. Use this deeptone to detail the shadowing.

4. Now, Blur all the shadowing you just did - this creates the smooth gradient instead of the cell shaded type of CG.

5. Take the Dodge tool on Highlights and 50% opacity, Sparingly highlights the areas that would reflect sunlight.Blur the highlights afterwards.

6. Erase all excess stuffs.

Eye Painting tutorial in photoshop

2007-08-17T22:48:00.000+05:30

This will take you through the process of painting an eye. As usual I strongly recommend using a tablet.
	Here I started with a hand-drawn sketch. In lack of a scanner I took a quick photo of the sketch, hence the bad quality. You can make your sketch right in photoshop, painter or whatever software package you are using. Rough outlines are enough, but you should already give your eye a characteristic shape.
	Start to paint some thick strokes around the eye, a standard brush will be sufficient here, but of course you can experiment with your brush settings to make it easier to paint. I made some brighter strokes to indicate where my light source will be.
	I added a few more tones. I do not really care about my colour, since I will change it in the end anyway. Also I strengthened some of the defining lines.
	More lines to better define my eyes shape.
	In this step I cleaned up the annoying background, and painted the eyeball. This is quite easy, keep in mind that it is a ball, so you will have to shade accordingly. The farther away you get from the pupil, the darker should it be.
	Now comes the most difficult part. The iris. First, start off by filling it with a solid colour. Then pick a small brush and make short strokes from the pupil outwards. Change your colour a few times here, if you look close at a photograph of an iris you can see lots of different shades and small strokes. This step determines how realistic your eye will look. The more and the smaller your lines, the more realistic will it look. Zooming in is a good idea
	You might want to smoothen the iris a bit, the technique is up to you, you can smudge it, or, like I did, overpaint it a little. I also added highlight and darkened the pupil. The pupil got a small highlight too.
	What is left is to shade your eye. The shading will add plasticity and can also help to define the emotion which is expressed by the eye. If you go the easy way then pick dodge/burn, the more work-intensive, but better looking way is to add more layers and paint the highlights and shadows.
	This is what I have come up with, after some colour tweaking and some more work on the details. I hope this has been a help for you

Circuit Effect - ( Photoshop tutorial )

2007-08-17T22:38:00.000+05:30

Step 1) The first step is to create a new images with 300pixels by 300pixels and a resolution of 100. Make sure that the content type is set to transparent. (you can make it whatever size you want but we'll use these dimensions for this tutorial.)

Step 2) In the layer window add 2 extra layers.

Step 3) In “layer 1” add some clouds. Filter>Render>clouds.
You should have something that looks like this.

Step 4) Do the same in layer 2 and 3 by clicking on each layer and pressing Ctrl-F. each layer will be different but in layer 3 try to make it more light than dark by pressing Ctrl-F until you get it. They should look something like this.

Layer 2 layer 3

Step 5) Start with layer 1 and use the mosaic pixelate filter on it. Set cell size to 12
Filter>Pixelate>Mosaic.

In layer 2 do the same but set cell size to 10. And in layer 3 set cell size to 8.
Your layers should look like this. (notice that the cells get slightly smaller in each picture)

Layer 1 Layer 2 Layer 3

Step 6) In each layer and the “find edges” filter. Filter>Stylize>Find edges.

Layer 1 Layer 2 Layer 3

Step 7) Start with layer 1 and use the glowing edges filter,. Filters>Stylize>Glowing edges. Then continue with layer 2 and 3 by using the same filter. Follow images below, they contain the attributes for each layer's glowing edges filter.

Layer 1

Now on to Layer 2

Layer 3

Step 8) set layer 3's opacity to 36% and layer 2's opacity to 70%. It should look something like this. All the images blended together.

You can change the opacities to whatever you want to make it how you want it.

Step 9) Flatten the Image. Layer>Flatten image

Step 10)Change the hue of the image to make it look “computery”
Image>adjustments>Hue/Saturation. The following settings are what I used but you can make it any colour you want. make sure you have the colorize box checked.

Finished - the finished product should look something like this…

3D Max Tute(Creating a glass)

2007-08-17T14:49:00.000+05:30

Creating a glass object with

Max and V-ray

This tutorial, very is simple, but I guess it will help on some people :). I will make a special glass using Max and for the renderer V-ray. Most of the people do glass by using lathe, my version is a little different. So here are the steps:

1. Create a line in front viewport that will be the profile of the glass:

Draw a circle in top view

Select the circle, go to the Modifiers list and select Bevel Profile, and on Pick Profile, select the first shape:

Convert this to an editable Poly select the top and delete

Go to Modifiers Panel and select Shell (is available only for Max 6 as I know), and adjust the thickness of the object how you like

Now to make the special for of the glass we need to cut a little of the top, using booleans. We will use a box like so:

And go to Compound Objects and use Booleans

The problem is that now we have some artifacts - the face there is not ok. Deleting the face or the edge has now worked.

So we will insert a vertex or two on that line and use Target weld to the opposite vertexes to correct this.

Same proble here:

Now all is ok. Select the edges and chamfer them twice, just a little. If you wish to make the bottom of the glass thicker just select the bottom of the glass and drag it down.

I have modified the shape of the glass by using the Taper tool from the Modifiers list.

First choose V-ray renderer. Not fancy rendering settings, just in the V-ray: Image Sampler(Antialising), turn of the Adaptive subdivision. For the glass materials use this settings:

and for the liquid this

For the lighting I have used an Omni light, V-ray shadows cheked and on V-ray shadows parameters check Transparent shadows and area shadow. Use a plane for the scene and assign a white color to this.

It looks fine, but not really :). The glass need something to reflect. To do this use a HDRI map. You can find some HDRI images at this address http://athens.ict.usc.edu/Probes/

and assign this to V-ray Environment

and the result

And with caustics the scene will look like this

Thanks for watching the tutorial!

Easily Boosting BitTorrent Upload Ratio

2007-08-17T01:40:00.000+05:30

Here's a way on how you can BOOST your upload ratio when you're in the midst of downloading and uploading using your favorite torrent client. So there's no need to run those tools to spoof your uploads on BitTorrent trackers anymore because it's a waste of time.

GreedyTorrent is a program that can boost your bittorrent upload ratio. GreedyTorrent can help you survive on trackers that enforce a minimum 1:1 trading ratio, and can keep you from getting banned for not uploading. So how does it work? In simple words, it modifies the conversation between your bittorrent client and the tracker, suppressing the actual upload amount. Instead, GreedyTorrent puts you in control of your own upload ratio -- you can define how much upload you want to submit to the tracker.

For example, if you're uploading at only 10KBps, you can multiple it even up to 100 times and get a total of 1MBps of uploads! You can set the value when you run GreedyTorrent.

GreedyTorrent features:
1. Unlike many other utilities out there, GreedyTorrent is set-once-and-forget type software. You do not need to configure settings each time you queue a torrent file to download.

2. No complicated options to configure. The default installation of GreedyTorrent is configured to provide you 5 times actual upload, enough for the survival of a normal ADSL user. Also there is no need to manually find the hash values or to set tracker URLs, GreedyTorrent takes care of them automatically. GreedyTorrent was developed with a novice user in mind, with an easy to use interface.

3. Unlike many other utilities, GreedyTorrent generates no additional traffic. GreedyTorrent does not run or emulate an "extra torrent client", and thus does not waste your precious Bandwith

4. Only one set of client identification and upload ratio are reported to tracker. Clients that emulate an extra bittorrent client have sometimes the disadvantage that two sets of ratio and client identification are reported to tracker, one from the utility and another from your actual bittorrent client.

5. You dont need to stop using your bittorrent client while using GreedyTorrent. This has the advantage that you can download 24x7, while GreedyTorrent automatically maintains the specified upload ratio.

6. The upload values reported by GreedyTorrent are no different than what an actual Hi speed uploader would generate. For instance, some utilities can increase your upload ratio dramatically by reporting a very high upload, lets say in the order of gigabytes in just one instance. However, this discrete abnormal value is easily detectable by an administrator. It remains as a contradiction to your normal upload, and is likely to result in an account ban. When it comes to GreedyTorrent, even if you are setting the upload as 50 times your actual upload, the ratios reported are consistent and continuous in nature -- it can only be inferred by the administrator as a high speed upload.

7. GreedyTorrent does not generate any extra client identification, thus it cannot be banned by the tracker. You can use your favorite bittorrent client along with GreedyTorrent, the client identification generated by it will be preserved and reported without modification.

As you can see from the 7 features of GreedyTorrent, it's practically flawless! Currently only uTorrent, Azureus and BitLord has been officially tested to work with GreedyTorrent without any problems. After you've downloaded and installed GreedyTorrent, you'll need to do a little configuration on your BitTorrent client.
