 Simul Software Ltd has announced the availability of its Simul Clouds SDK for realtime volumetric clouds.
Simul Clouds generates cloud volumes that grow and change in real time, modeling the whole sky to the horizon. This approach provides more stable and controllable framerates than particle or sprite-based cloud rendering. CPU load is also highly tunable. The SDK is now available for evaluation. For more information, contact Dr Roderick Kennedy at enquiries@simul.co.uk.

The NVIDIA Quadro family of professional graphics cards are very, very expensive. But many people know that Quadro and GeForce graphics cards are virtually identical in hardware. Obviously, you cannot just use Quadro drivers with your GeForce graphics cards. However, there is an easy way to soft-mod an NVIDIA GeForce desktop graphics card into an NVIDIA Quadro professional graphics card.
Tech ARP shows us just how to do it. 'It all revolves around the driver support for professional 3D applications like 3ds Max or Maya. Quadro drivers allow the Quadro to be used to accelerate the rendering operations of such professional 3D applications while GeForce drivers do not. This is the basis for the premium prices NVIDIA (and ATI) charge for their professional-grade graphics cards.
