MB-Lab (previously ManuelbastioniLAB) is a free and open-source plug-in for Blender for the parametric 3D modeling of photorealistic humanoid characters. [ 1 ] It was developed by the artist and programmer Manuel Bastioni, [ a ] and was based on his over 15 year experience of 3D graphic projects.
As of 2021, official releases of Blender for Microsoft Windows, macOS and Linux, [241] as well as a port for FreeBSD, [242] are available in 64-bit versions. Blender is available for Windows 8.1 and above, and Mac OS X 10.13 and above. [243] [244] Blender 2.80 was the last release that had a version for 32-bit systems (x86). [245]
Blender Game Engine was developed in 2000 with the goal of creating a marketable commercial product to create games and other interactive content, in an artist-friendly way. Key code in the physics library (SUMO) did not become open-source when the rest of Blender did, which prevented the game engine from functioning until version 2.37a.
Even drivers executing in user mode can crash a system if the device is erroneously programmed. These factors make it more difficult and dangerous to diagnose problems. [3] The task of writing drivers thus usually falls to software engineers or computer engineers who work for hardware-development companies. This is because they have better ...
Circular dependencies can cause many unwanted effects in software programs. Most problematic from a software design point of view is the tight coupling of the mutually dependent modules which reduces or makes impossible the separate re-use of a single module.
The free and open-source drivers compete with proprietary closed-source drivers. Depending on the availability of hardware documentation and man-power, the free and open-source driver lag behind more or less in supporting 3D acceleration of new hardware. Also, 3D rendering performance was usually significantly slower with some notable exceptions.
In computer science, a circular buffer, circular queue, cyclic buffer or ring buffer is a data structure that uses a single, fixed-size buffer as if it were connected end-to-end. This structure lends itself easily to buffering data streams . [ 1 ]
The basic scheme is to cycle through a repeating sequence of activities, at a set frequency (a.k.a. time-triggered cyclic executive). For example, consider the example of an embedded system designed to monitor a temperature sensor and update an LCD display. The LCD may need to be written twenty times a second (i.e., every 50 ms).
