RedSDK Plug-in for TurboCAD 2020 More Robust Rendering Solution Integrates directly with the TurboCAD material editor after installing Ability to create customer color, materials, and effects Both bitmap based textures and procedural materials Clouds in the sky Enhanced multiple importance sampling Adaptive sampling New post-processing controls and filters Luminances with advanced lighting properties Rendering TurboCAD offers a powerful rendering engine for quick and easy presentations of your design. For customers looking for more rendering options, the RedSDK plug-in for TurboCAD enhances the program's photo-realistic rendering capabilities with even more robust, high power rendering. Integrates directly with the TurboCAD material editor after installing Ability to create customer color, materials, and effects Both bitmap based textures and procedural materials Clouds in the sky Enhanced multiple importance sampling Adaptive sampling New post-processing controls and filters Luminances with advanced lighting properties Note: The Conceptual Selector tool will only work with the RedSDK plug-in in the following display modes - Hidden Line, Draft Render, Quality Render, Advanced Render. The Conceptual Selector uses the full-blown 3D model, materials, lighting, adjustable scale and editing capability. The user is able to edit: the selector geometry, materials, the set of handles, response to mouse movements, etc. All data about the Selector is stored in TCW Profiles, which are accessible for editing. The GCtrlProfiles folder contains selector variants (profiles), and the Samples sub-folder contains additional samples. A user can create and use his own profiles. At the moment Conceptual Selector is available only in Model Space and only for the 3D mode of selector. Using RedSDK imposes certain restrictions. the Conceptual Selector can be displayed only in RedSDK windows. When objects in non-RedSDK windows are edited, it will automatically force the classic selector mode to be used. Materials The RedSDK plug-in for TurboCAD integrates directly with TurboCAD's material editor. It also provides numerous shaders to create materials and their finishes with a real-time preview. This is available even on a selection from the model instead of just a simple cube or sphere (also available). When creating or altering materials, there are extensive descriptions of each shader in the dialog window to simplify each step. There are over 500 materials included, with the ability to create hundreds of custom Colors, Materials, and Effects to extend your rendering capabilities. The RedSDK material library is a complete library of pre-defined materials for use with RedSDK. All materials are defined using high resolution textures and are ready to use for photo-realistic needs. In addition, many materials also exist in 'real-time' configuration for advanced interactive renderings. The most advanced realistic material is intended for good quality/speed ratio visualization. It features what most people would expect from an all-purpose material.

With FOCUS projects 4, anyone can create the most stunning macros seen in photo galleries and magazines. Thanks to new technologies from FOCUS, you can create state-of-the-art macro shots that have a fascinatingly large depth of field and bring extraordinary details to light. NEW: HQ Stacking with 64-bit calculation NEW: Focus-Boost technology for even more sharpness NEW: Significance check of your sharpness series Up to 30 focus levels Uniquely precise alignment of all images in the stack FOCUS projects 4 With FOCUS projects 4, anyone can create the most impressive macros known from photo galleries and magazines. Thanks to FOCUS' new technologies, you can create state-of-the-art macro images that have a fascinating depth of field and bring extraordinary details to light. Focus stacking is the ultimate discipline for macro, nature and product photographers who want to see their images featured in natural history forums and hot online galleries. For this purpose, new tools for selective image retouching, expert filters and a complete RAW developer are also available. What is Focus Stacking? Do you know it? Even if you get very close to an object, the depth of field is not large enough to keep the entire object in focus? If you like to shoot at scales of 1:1 or above, you'll reach the limits of your optics sooner than you'd like. Depth of field is very shallow when shooting at these scales. It cannot be compensated for by stopping down the aperture, because this reduces the sharpness of detail of the entire image and there is not enough light. That's finally the end of it. The solution is: Record a focus series - a focus stack! FOCUS projects 4 then merges all the shots from 3 to 30 focus levels into a single image with incomparable depth of field. The photographed object is now consistently sharp from front to back, all without effort and in just a few seconds. You don't need to press any buttons or adjust any sliders. You get sharp macros fully automatically. Use the stacking software for: + Nature macro photography + product photography + landscape photography + still life + Microscope photography + Optimal product images for online shops and auctions Additional Presets and Smart-Mask Expert Filters The latest version of FOCUS projects offers you many improved and new software highlights that are precisely tailored to the needs of modern photography. Additional presets and Smart-Mask expert filters for fast results in unique quality make optimizing your macros easy. Integrated batch processing lets you work even more efficiently. What are you waiting for? Significance check of your sharpening series! Which single images really help, which ones rather disturb the overall work of art? FOCUS projects 4 analyzes the individual images of your sharpening series and ignores the images that are not necessary for the calculation of the overall image. This way, fewer errors creep into your image and the development process is streamlined. Internet connection required.

Ashampoo® ActionCam Sensationally easy to enhance, stabilize, denoise and cut videos Full stability without camera shake Action Cams are everywhere, even when things get wild and events are happening. The result is often videos that are heavily shaken because the camera was unable to stabilize them. This seems dynamic, but also exhausting when watching them later. That's why Ashampoo ActionCam has the latest generation video stabilisation! Even videos that have been shot in full motion or from free hand get a realistic, smoother camera image - of course in maximum resolution! Stop the lens distortion! Wide-angle and fisheye lenses give you the feeling of being right in the middle of the action and not missing a thing. When watching a computer or television, many people would like to switch to normal optics. Ashampoo ActionCam calculates the distortion quite simply! This video editing software contains a number of built-in profiles of the most popular cameras such as the GoPro line and provides an undistorted, realistic image with just a click of the mouse! Powerful contrast and color optimization Improve the video quality afterwards by adjusting contrast and colour to the optimum. After a few clicks, your recordings will look more vivid, realistic and interesting. White balance can make videos appear warmer or colder, while selective editing of brightness, tint, shadows and highlights creates unique image accents. No matter from which source, your videos will gain a completely new look through the multi-layered optimization! This is how effective Action Cam video editing can be! Effective sharpening and fast processing The focus is not always correct for rapid shots, and the sharpness can also need to be improved for drone flights. Ashampoo ActionCam offers highly efficient sharpening, which removes even the last veils over the picture. And so that you can quickly get back into the adventure, you can have several video files improved at once, the practical batch processing makes it possible! The video editing you need Some programs have huge editors that take a long time to learn. This Action Cam editing program, however, has exactly what you really need! Simply rotate and tilt your videos by 90 / 180 / 270 degrees or by any angle you like. Cutting to a desired area is also possible without problems. Export only the highlights of your video or merge several photos and videos into a single clip! Add text and effects Videos often only get the finishing touches with inserted comments or special effects. Ashampoo ActionCam allows you to easily add text or use impressive effects such as the tilt shift filter. Here a special look is created through selective blurring, in which real landscape shots look like miniatures. Let your creativity run wild and accentuate where it makes the most impact! Change speed effectively Ashampoo ActionCam can also change the playback speed of videos. Most ActionCams record at 60 fps and more, which offers enough scope for fascinating slow motion shots. Of course, this also allows for impressive time laps, which e.g. let unimportant passages run faster without the need for additional cuts. Ideal for drone fans But you can not only edit GoPro videos or other action cam videos. Drones offer us wonderful sights that were reserved for pilots a few years ago. With Ashampoo ActionCam you can quickly and easily edit drones videos. Camera shake is particularly common, coloration and sharpness are not always optimal and contrasts are in need of improvement. With just a few clicks Ashampoo ActionCam takes care of these problems and gives your skystormers the best picture!

What is the difference between potting soil, peat soil, vegetable soil, and grave soil?
Potting soil is a general-purpose soil mix that is suitable for growing a wide variety of plants in containers. It is typically a blend of organic materials such as peat moss, compost, and perlite or vermiculite for drainage. Peat soil, on the other hand, is made primarily of decomposed sphagnum moss and is often used to improve soil structure and water retention in garden beds. Vegetable soil is specifically formulated for growing vegetables and typically contains a balanced mix of nutrients and organic matter to support healthy vegetable growth. Grave soil, also known as topsoil, is a general-purpose soil used for filling in garden beds, leveling the ground, or creating new planting areas. It is typically a mix of sand, silt, and clay with added organic matter.
-
Can coconut soil be mixed with regular potting soil?
Yes, coconut soil can be mixed with regular potting soil to create a well-draining and nutrient-rich growing medium for plants. Coconut soil, also known as coir or coco coir, is a sustainable and eco-friendly alternative to peat moss. When mixed with regular potting soil, coconut soil helps improve soil aeration, water retention, and nutrient absorption, making it a great option for gardening and container planting.
-
Why are soil samples taken for possible soil contaminants?
Soil samples are taken for possible soil contaminants to assess the level of pollution and potential risks to human health and the environment. Contaminants such as heavy metals, pesticides, and industrial chemicals can accumulate in soil and pose a threat to ecosystems and human health. By analyzing soil samples, scientists and environmental professionals can identify the presence and concentration of contaminants, determine the extent of contamination, and develop appropriate remediation and management strategies to protect the environment and public health.
-
What is the difference between soil erosion and soil degradation?
Soil erosion refers to the physical removal of topsoil by wind, water, or other natural forces, leading to the loss of fertile soil. On the other hand, soil degradation is a broader term that encompasses various processes that deteriorate the quality of soil, such as chemical contamination, compaction, salinization, and nutrient depletion. While soil erosion is a specific type of soil degradation, soil degradation can occur through other means beyond just erosion.
-
What is soil salinization and how can soil be irrigated?
Soil salinization is the accumulation of salts in the soil, which can negatively impact plant growth and crop productivity. To irrigate soil and help manage salinity levels, farmers can use techniques such as drip irrigation, which delivers water directly to the plant roots in a controlled manner, reducing the risk of salt buildup. Additionally, farmers can implement practices like leaching, where excess water is applied to the soil to flush out accumulated salts, helping to restore the soil's natural balance.
-
What is the difference between compost soil and regular soil?
Compost soil is a mixture of organic matter that has decomposed, such as food scraps, yard waste, and other organic materials. It is rich in nutrients and beneficial microorganisms, making it a great soil amendment for improving soil structure and fertility. Regular soil, on the other hand, is the natural soil found in the ground, which may not be as nutrient-rich or have as many beneficial microorganisms as compost soil. Compost soil is often used to enhance regular soil for gardening and landscaping purposes.
-
What is the difference between potting soil and herb soil?
Potting soil is a general-purpose soil mix that is suitable for a wide variety of plants, including herbs. It is typically a blend of organic materials such as peat moss, compost, and perlite, designed to provide good drainage and aeration for plant roots. Herb soil, on the other hand, is specifically formulated for growing herbs and may contain additional ingredients such as sand or vermiculite to improve drainage and provide the specific nutrients that herbs need to thrive. Herb soil is tailored to the specific needs of herbs, while potting soil is more of a general-purpose option for a wide range of plants.
-
Which apple variety is suitable for clay soil or loamy soil?
Apple varieties such as Golden Delicious, Granny Smith, and Fuji are suitable for clay soil as they are more tolerant of heavy, compacted soil. On the other hand, apple varieties like Gala, Honeycrisp, and Red Delicious thrive in loamy soil, which is a well-balanced soil type with good drainage and nutrient retention. It is important to choose apple varieties that are well-suited to the specific soil conditions in order to ensure successful growth and fruit production.
-
What is soil salinization and how can the soil be irrigated?
Soil salinization is the accumulation of salts in the soil, which can negatively impact plant growth and crop productivity. This occurs when the natural process of salt accumulation in the soil exceeds the rate of salt removal. To irrigate the soil and reduce salinization, several methods can be used. One common method is leaching, where excess salts are flushed out of the soil by applying large amounts of water. Another method is to use salt-tolerant crops that can withstand the high salt levels in the soil. Additionally, improving drainage and using more efficient irrigation techniques can help prevent further soil salinization.
-
Do you have to repot from seedling soil to balcony soil?
Yes, it is generally recommended to repot seedlings from seedling soil to balcony soil as they grow. Seedling soil is typically lighter and more sterile, providing the ideal conditions for germination and early growth. However, as the seedlings mature, they will need the nutrients and structure provided by a more robust balcony soil to continue growing and thriving. Repotting also allows for better drainage and root development, which is essential for the long-term health of the plants.
-
What is soil quality?
Soil quality refers to the ability of soil to sustain plant and animal life while also maintaining environmental quality. It is determined by various factors such as nutrient content, pH levels, organic matter content, soil structure, and the presence of pollutants. Good soil quality is essential for healthy plant growth, biodiversity, and overall ecosystem functioning. Monitoring and improving soil quality is important for sustainable agriculture and environmental conservation.
-
Which soil for catnip?
Catnip prefers well-draining soil with a slightly alkaline pH. A sandy or loamy soil mix is ideal for growing catnip, as it allows for proper drainage and prevents waterlogging, which can lead to root rot. Adding some organic matter, such as compost, can also help improve the soil quality for growing healthy catnip plants.
