I want to visually analyze SQL Queries and I want to have a chance to express in a UML model, what queries that model implies/allowes.

 

Anyway, i didn';t find a lot, but these some links:

Well, I would appreciate some help in finding such modelling/analyzing tools.

 

Auf Deutsch gibt es hier eine gute Einfuehrung in SQL - Joins

Short introdution to what is a storyboard (clik on storyboard)

Here to interesiting about Hitchcock (look at paragraf on Storyboard)

http://www.hitchcockwiki.com/files/articles/TheMakingOfTheBirds/

 

this storyboard is very easy to understand as Simpson are universally known and is easy to visualize what would be the final result:

It looks like the result will be a scene based just on dialogs and not on the image.

In this exaple Is possible to get the story from the image and also shots and lights

example image

 

how not to show also one storyboard from hitchcock? From Birds:

this is a storyboard about commercial and about site (beware is from Disney stuff.. not for children or sensibel persons)

this is not a storyboard... is a comic... but could be a storyboard

There are some tricks to have “style”

When your graphical production does not look harmonic || professional || complete, you have to work on your sketches and find the main style (like a corporate identity) that represent the project.

Colors & Light The colors changes, based on the ambient light where you watch theme, that means that if you want to have a realistic effect on your illustrations you cannot use a warm gray and a cold gray in the same image, in nature that will not happen. But you can use those gray variant to create a surreal image for example. Remember that the colors are influencing the mood, so use theme with a meaning. If you are working on web search for the standards used color for similar projects, cause the meaning of the colors is really different in the different continent, and the meaning changes a bit even between the European countries.

Background The Background is really boring to make but really important to do. Empty background is a ZEN solution, white for day, and Black for night. works only in ZEN contest. None color works as a single color in professional illustrations. If you want to use one tone a good suggestion is to make a material background: * take many different white and trow theme together on the paper * take a brush technique and use one color, you will get a single color but with brushes signs, a bit of 3D

Minimize or Exaggerate When something does not convince you, here is the best trick to be used: * minimize: take it out and delete it, minimize the objects and the number of images help make the structure easier to reed and be modeled. * exaggerate: the other way is take this not stylish component and repeat it, use it multiple times, even always. For example you are not sure if a text need to have a Outline color, you can take out the Outline at all minimize(), or make it fat, stronger color and repeat it for multiple text on the composition (exaggerate).

Harmonia and Elegance dont be afraid, is easy, Everything around you can be represented with math, mathematics as convention to explain the world, Music is math based, and Art too. You can compose your images with a math help, use the “guide lines” to see clearly the position of your object on the page, to calculate the empty spaces … and remember Math, Geometry, Perspective, Harmonia and Elegance are all the same thing ! z.B. Leonardo Da Vinci The elegance is into clear lines, so if you use a Vector Program smooth your lines or draw with a smoother plugin activated: Inkscape you can realize this in many ways; for example take the tool -> [ EDIT PATH BY NODES ] ; now click on -> [ Make selected nodes symmetric ] Elegance has few lines, no many particulars, like an Armani suite :P Harmonia is based on the cycle of the objects, how and how many times the object is represented. If there is an object on the left and on the right is empty, that means the emptyness have a meaning, when there is no meaning make full the right side with something that balance the left content. In history of art the idea of composition is always present, every artist use a personal way to do it, but many people use the 3,14 rule, go check how the greek temple were built, how Eisenstein decide the video Editing of “Panzerkreuzer Potemkin”, how Bruno Munari plan his graphics design.

Alice Z Bognetti Probably I will be banned from many Graphics website after this post, cause those tricks and tips are the precious knowledge of who work and study ART || GFX But… you know what? lets support and produce Evolution: OPEN SOURCE, OPEN MIND, NOT COMMERCIAL, SHARE ALIKE !

Producing small videos, animations and vjset live as a Freelancer, is easy questioning yourself about build a Render Farm machine to aloud to work on huge amount of video data.

In my case will be maximum a Render Flat. I m Not interested producing cinema movies, but compositing for shorter projects. I use Blender, but I also use Resolume for vjing, I know how many frames go lost trying to record generated images, or live sets in digital format.

The machine must be cheap in the materials and eco-compatible with low energy consume.

What is normally suggested to Do is : Do not spend more then 30% you will spend on a true one. A true one will coast a lot around 30.000€ (Render Stream blog entry) minimum 15.000€, the 30% is between 4500€ and 9.000€

I cannot spend more then 1500€

For Networking TK is using old PIII mother board, but for video… I m afraid with low quality material you realize a machine with the same price of a powerful single computer that can maybe do the same work alone.

Lets say I ll start with 8 cpu that will cost around 170€ each one for a total of 1200€ . There is still to calculate the hours of job of the technicians.

After you got the case and cables we pass on the softwares, to connect the CPU with a workload management system Condor High Throughput Computing that will optimize the CPU usage, at least for performances, if not for eco-sustainability (but this sofware solution is even too big for my needs) .

The Big Buck Bunny used Sun’s Grid to coordinate average of 150 CPU’s at a time! producing around 4h per frame.

the best links to projects about DIY Render Farm found today:

Helmer history (self built machine) this lovely monster is my target a cheap homemade in a great Iron case! he promise “…this machine just cost as a better standard PC, but has 24 cores that run each at 2.4 Ghz, a total of 48GB ram, and just need 400W of power!!”

cool explication DIY

MY ABSURD Idea

Considering I m Berlin based will be will be great to build the machine in horizontal and place it like a pavement on the floor, with a pipeline for ventilation with 2 exits, 1 outside the room and 1 inside the room. That can be a good winter solution to substitute coal heating for cheap rents and let in summer the hot air out

Niklas and Tk suggest both to use a Blender script and Tk seems to be convinced to can use one of Synoptx Networks computer, with 2 or 2×2 GHz, but I m speaking about a video-brain, usable for producing different kinds of videos, not an unique Blender output, for example a compositing of stop motion in HD with digital animation. A machine that allows you to promise good quality fast rendering also for experimental effect and live video manipulation. I believe our network machine is enough to start, but in the while you render you will have no much possibility to use the computer otherwise. You cannot risk to loose some frames for overloading and restart rendering the scene. Anyway is a long time project that can be realized before 2012, nothing now and nothing fast. Is only that I have 1000 projects and Im always in doubt how to invest the money, professional video camera, plotter or professional computer? the price are around 3.000€. Analyzing the market and my clients I ll say our computers are always running and the camera or plotter you can rent it for short period. If we use the Synoptx Shuttle PC then we have 1.000€ only for developer and system admin. How much will coast to keep the system running for one year with electricity and system admin?

Ja du verschwendest Deine Zeit.

Du sitzt vor dem Computer, das ganze Internet rast und obwohl du bloggst, hast Du das Gefuehl, dass alles was Du tust im Nirvana landet. 

Ist auch so. Frueher haettest Du das, was Du tust, sicherlich mit jemandem geteilt.

Heute wurschtelst Du alleine vor dich hin? Warum? Weil alle um Dich rum, das auch tun.

Und wenn Du ihnen spaeter davon erzaehlst, nicken sie entweder nur wissend oder verstehen kein Wort - denn sie haben es nicht erlebt.

Egal ob es jetzt um Drupal aufsetzen oder Open Source - Grafik - Software geht.
