Open Source 3D Rendering Engine for Maya and 3D Studio Max (and others too)

Have been looking online for quiete a while for a reliable and simple 3D Rendering Engine to deploy at the University I work at. Apparently Ogre 3D is the right solution for this. From testimonials it seems easy enough to use and is compatible with several systems including Maya and 3D Studio Max. Other supported systems are Google SketchUp, Blender, Wings 3D, LightWave, RenderMonkey, and others…

Here is the homepage of the project:

No need for a terrorist attack on the LHC . . . (Score:5, Funny)
. . . it seems pretty capable of breaking itself on its own, with any outside help

A:
this theory has actually been proposed: That activating the LHC would actually destroy the universe, that is, the whole universe, even reaching back into the past. That would mean that the only possible universes are ones in which the LHC is never activated, which means that if we keep trying, implausible events will continue to occur, preventing the LHC from activating- after all, we’re here now, right. That’s _proof_ that the LHC will never be activated!

B:

Hello world!

meWelcome to my Blog.

Here I will mainly upload articles I find of interest. Some Academic papers are published too, mainly in mathematics, and Information Security (GSM flaws for example). With this Blog I am not trying to convince people of anything; I am just trying to make some material available to the the internet, which otherwise might just sit unused on my hard-drive.

Oh by the way THAT is me while working IT hours at my past Uni…

Hope you enjoy my blog.
