Sunflow rendering on Fedora 13

How to install Sunflow ?
It's pretty simple just download the zip archive from here.
Unzip and edit the sh script sunflow.sh
from the sunflow folder.
By default the script is:

#/bin/sh

mem=1G

java -Xmx$mem -server -jar sunflow.jar $*

If we run this script will have this error :
$ sh sunflow.sh 
Invalid maximum heap size: -Xmx1G

Could not create the Java virtual machine.

The solution is:
$ whereis java
java: /usr/bin/java ...

Now change the script :
#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/java -Xmx1024M -server -jar sunflow.jar $*

And run it ...
$ sh sunflow.sh 

The result is :

Blender 3D - ISSUE 28: Blender 2.5

As you know the magazine Blender Magazine is a magazine known to those who use Blender 3D software.
The title of this magazine is "Blender 2.5. In this issue we find some interesting articles related to version 2.5.
However I expect some to be more specific. I expected to find some more specific tutorials.
New version 2.5 has new tools and hardware required. For this reason I wanted to see something more complex.
The magazine comes with sample files. However it seems that the magazine is a success.

FEATURED CONTENTS :

I love my Bubble
Up to Speed
Blender 2.49 Scripting (Book Review)
High resolution rendering @ speed of the light

Fedora 14 - next wallpaper concept.

The new concept of wallpaper on which I worked.
I used Blender 3D. Rendering time was short, less than 2 min.
This is because I used some tricks.
It seems more appropriate for a wallpaper.
