In order to improve the effect of distributed 3D interior design, a distributed 3D interior design method based on color image model is proposed in this paper. In this paper, the author uses the distributed feature information fusion method to construct the color image model of the distributed 3D interior design, and carries out edge contour detection and feature extraction for the distributed 3D interior spatial distribution image. The RGB color decomposition method is used to decompose the color pixel features of the three-dimensional indoor spatial distribution image. Combined with the three-dimensional point cloud feature reorganization method, the color space reconstruction of the distributed three-dimensional interior design is realized, and the optimal combination of color features of the distributed three-dimensional interior design is realized. Based on the design of image and color processing algorithm, the development and design of distributed 3D interior design system is carried out based on virtual reality and visual simulation technology. The 3D modeling of distributed 3D interior design is carried out using 3ds max, and the indoor hierarchical structure design is realized using the modeling software Multigen Creator. The experimental results show that, according to the color information fusion results, the distributed 3D interior design optimization is realized. Compared with the traditional manual design method, the root mean square error of this method is greatly reduced from 0.232 to 0.023, and the time cost is 82.8% faster. This method has a better visual effect and strong feature expression ability. Conclusion. The visual effect of distributed 3D interior design with this method is good, the error is small, and the visual expression ability is strong.

Walk-Through MR World Approach for Students Using Mixed Reality

Knowledge is prodigious, and learning has no boundary. The curiosity of the one to learn, discover and invent decides the future of the world. Educational Institutions’ main objective is to provide qualitative knowledge to the students and supporting tools used for learning play a major role. The conventional education system is arduous to be used in the current situation of the global pandemic of COVID-19. New methods and tools are required to make learning and imparting knowledge more effective. Applications like Google Meet, Zoom, Cisco WebEx are being used in schools and colleges. When it comes to simulations in technical education, for instance, to develop any electrical circuits, robots, buildings, etc., software like MATLAB, 3Ds MAX, GNU Octave is being used. These methods neither are interactive nor provide an immersive experience to the user. To subdue this problem, Mixed Reality (MR) technology can be utilized as a boon by developing an application where students can have interactive classes, submerging themselves, and gaining the required knowledge. Also, the technical students can simulate their experiments onto the real world, providing an idea of how the world may look when new things are adopted and can undergo a walk-through experience in the MR world.

Prot2Prot: a deep learning model for rapid, photorealistic macromolecular visualization.

Molecular visualization is a cornerstone of structural biology, providing insights into the form and function of biomolecules that are difficult to achieve any other way. Scientific analysis, publication, education, and outreach often benefit from photorealistic molecular depictions rendered using advanced computer-graphics programs such as Maya, 3ds Max, and Blender. However, setting up molecular scenes in these programs is laborious even for expert users, and rendering often requires substantial time and computer resources. We have created a deep-learning model called Prot2Prot that quickly imitates photorealistic visualization styles, given a much simpler, easy-to-generate molecular representation. The resulting images are often indistinguishable from images rendered using industry-standard 3D graphics programs, but they can be created in a fraction of the time, even when running in a web browser. To the best of our knowledge, Prot2Prot is the first example of image-to-image translation applied to macromolecular visualization. Prot2Prot is available free of charge, released under the terms of the Apache License, Version 2.0. Users can access a Prot2Prot-powered web app without registration at http://durrantlab.com/prot2prot.Supplementary InformationThe online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s10822-022-00471-4.

3D Design Platform of Virtual National Costume Based on Digital Nonlinear Random Matrix

The traditional two-dimensional clothing CAD system is more and more difficult to meet the needs of the three-dimensional design of virtual national clothing products. Based on the digital nonlinear random matrix theory, this paper constructs a three-dimensional design platform for virtual ethnic clothing and proposes a weighted graph tree representation method for the deviation transfer process of nonlinear ethnic clothing. The model first analyzes the business links and information related to the deviation transfer modeling of ethnic clothing and establishes a hierarchical relationship tree, a method of expressing the order of ethnic clothing, and a method of expressing deviation. The weighted graph tree model and construction rules of the deviation transmission process realize the integrated expression of the deviation transmission information of ethnic clothing and solve the nonlinear problem in the transmission of ethnic clothing deviation. During the simulation process, the article uses the three-dimensional geometric modeling tool POSER to establish a standard entry model, edit it in 3DS MAX and export the file, read it, and parameterize it through programming, and realize the drawing of the three-dimensional avatar model based on OpenGL. The experimental results show that the parametric avatar model established by the system is accurate and realistic and can quickly convert the 3D style to the N-dimensional pattern.

Considering Multisensor Data Fusion and Data-Driven Special Effects Animation Simulation

The data-driven simulation algorithm uses the method of surface matching to establish the corresponding relationship between the surfaces of the two dynamic models at the same time. It also calculates the appropriate deformation field to align the animated character surface and then uses the interpolation operation to further expand the new animated character motion. With the promotion of industrial application requirements such as games, film and television, and education and entertainment, computer animation special effects simulation technology has a wide range of application prospects. Based on a multisensor and data-driven approach, this paper conducts a targeted study on the realistic simulation of typical special effects animations. Aiming at the high time complexity and time-consuming problems of simulation algorithms, data-driven simulation methods are studied and scenes or objects that simulate the real environment can be created. They are given different properties and parameters, and the desired results are obtained through computer calculation and rendering. Finally, it can be output into a smooth animation. Based on the animation simulation data and multisensor data fusion method proposed in this paper, the on-site calculation process can be accelerated and efficient animation simulation driven by data can be realized. In 3ds Max 2013, there is also a small function that can sort the bone list in ascending or descending order in alphabetical and numerical order. This helps manage bones attached to the skin modifier more efficiently. This saves a lot of time when picking bones. About 44.3% of the people during the study were proficient in the use of software. After 1200 frames, the number of foam particles increases sharply, and the two-way coupling algorithm takes time. As the number of foam particles decreases, the time required for bidirectional coupling decreases. The article gives a brief description of the data-driven fusion model. The fluid simulation algorithm generates two different sequences by utilizing two different sets of setup parameters. It is then transformed into a spatiotemporal surface as input data for the fusion model. This research contributes to the development of special effects animation simulations.

Gigapan® Photogrammetry For Outcrop Description, 3d Modeling, And 3d Printing

The collection of 3D information on geological media is fundamental for field geology, however it can be both time consuming and expensive. This report proposes a new method for the collection of 3D information of outcrops using simple to use and inexpensive technology. GigaPan® systems can be used to take high resolution images of outcrops and these images then be either left in 2D for additional description of the outcrop in the lab, or they can be processed in Autodesk 3ds Max® to create realistic 3D models of the outcrops which can then be 3D printed. The collection of this data can allow for maximization of field time and may allow for additional analysis and descriptions in the lab. The ability to visit or revisit an outcrop without physically going there has implications for facilitating collaborative research projects and improving the learning outcomes of students.

Effects of lighting conditions on user preferences in retail apparel stores, within the cultural context of India

This study demonstrates the effects of correlated colour temperature (CCT) and illuminance on spatial impressions and user preferences in a mid-range retail space within the cultural context of India. Lighting is a key atmospheric attribute that creates stimulating environments for a holistic shopping experience. Preference for lighting conditions varies across store profiles and users’ cultural backgrounds. Very little research has been found that documents the lighting preferences of retail customers in India. The study involved high-fidelity computer-based simulations of lighting conditions for an apparel store developed using 3Ds Max for modelling, V-Ray for rendering and DIALux Evo for lighting analysis. The study followed a 4 × 4 factorial design with two independent variables: CCT (2700K, 3000K, 4000K and 5700K) and illuminance (300 lx, 500 lx, 700 lx and 900 lx) to form 16 scenes. Ninety-three participants performed a subjective evaluation of the scenes using semantic rating scales. Findings of this study indicate that specific CCT and illuminance were preferred for mid-range retail apparel stores in the Indian context. Further, it was observed that both CCT and illuminance influence the spatial impressions of a retail environment. The observations from this study emphasize the necessity of similar studies across various states of India to identify the lighting preferences for other functional spaces and cultural backgrounds within the country. The findings may contribute toward providing recommended guidelines for effectively planning the lighting conditions specific to the Indian cultural context.
