AGVortex
AGVortex
AGVortex is the CAE program for mathematical modelling of fluid and gas flows around airfoils. Here is implemented innovational solver based upon vorticity dynamics. This approach allows to resolve LES turbulence model on the multi-core processors and clusters that use parallel computing. But it needs much less computing power. Fewer number of equations and unknown functions in flow dynamics gives a gain in calculation process and imposes lower requirements for the computational resources. So, technologically, 3D modelling using LES turbulence model is possible today. An application consists of 3D editor, control panel, modeling area. The planned improvements: new solid types, turbulence models based upon vorticity . The trial version has limitations on the size of the grid, maximum Reynolds number, restrictions in the settings. System requirements: Win x64, vc++ redistributable, openGL drivers.Starting Price: free -

HDR Light Studio
Lightmap
The best way to achieve realistic 3D lighting is through the influence of real-world lighting references. In the 3D industry, HDRI lighting is used to aid with replicating real-life lighting scenarios. The HDRI map used highly affects the quality of HDRI lighting. The conventional ways of making your own HDRI maps involve picking up a camera and shooting real-life environments. So, it’s no surprise that many 3D artists settle for off-the-shelf stock HDRI Maps. However, that’s like a photographer using the same lighting setup for a motorcycle and a car shoot – it will never happen. It’s why we believe that 3D artists deserve to handcraft a unique lighting design for every 3D scene. Perfect lighting is achieved by having the right lights in the right place. HDR Light Studio has been engineered to take this literally. It’s why it’s known as the ultimate 3D lighting design tool to easily and quickly create your HDRI maps.Starting Price: $176.22 per year -
