Free Training Class on Complex Fault Modeling
I am pleased to announce the release of a new Training Class on Complex Fault Modeling. This 45 minute video explains, in detail, the processes involved in modeling a complex site with 4 faults and 6 fault blocks. This site is modeled using the technique we refer to as Prehistoric Geology, and we cover how to create the prehistoric .GEO file from your current stratigraphic geologic data in order to create a faulted model which honors the continuity of the geologic strata that existed prior to the ancient faulting. This is a free recorded...

I am pleased to announce the release of a new EVS Advanced Training Class on How to Edit Stratigraphic Geology a.k.a. How to Develop Stratigraphic Geology from Hand Drawn Cross-Sections. This video workbook covers the techniques to employ the complex texture_geology and edit_horizon modules to their full advantage, and opens up new methodologies for customization of your stratigraphic geologic models.This video has been over one year in the making and is one of the most challenging ones we’ve completed to date. Though these two key...

We are pleased to announce the release of Earth Volumetric Studio 2019.7.1. This release features two new modules that provide new capabilities that offer exciting capabilities to customers who strive to achieve photo-realistic representations of their sites. The read_wavefront_obj module reads single image Wavefront OBJ files which can represent photo-realistic 3D textured buildings drawn in software like 3D Studio Max or reconstructed LIDAR data and drone aerial photos like the model shown below. The other new module is read_geometry. The...
read moreHow can I smooth a geologic surface even if it doesn’t honor my data?
If I have surfaces that look like this with lots of peaks and troughs, is there an easy way to create a smooth surface, even if it doesn’t necessarily try to “honor” every point, more like a least squares fit? All of our estimation methods in krig_3d_geology honor your data, as best they can subject to your specified grid resolution. The simplest way to get a smoother “apparent” surface is to coarsen your grid resolution. However this method has some potential pitfalls, since the value computed at any give node...

I encourage everyone to take the time to read this announcement fully, since this software release rivals the significance of the original Earth Volumetric Studio release in August 2016, and other issues mentioned in this email are critical if you want to continue to receive announcements. I won’t recap the history of C Tech as I did nearly two years ago, I’ll just focus on what is new and why it is so special. Earth Volumetric Studio 2018.5 In addition to a large number of bug fixes, stability improvements and minor enhancements, there are a...
read moreThe MVS Resistance
I realize that some C Tech’s MVS users are resisting migrating to Earth Volumetric Studio because they are a bit daunted by the need to use Python syntax in modules like node_computation vs. the non-standard “equation” syntax used in modules like data_math and field_math. I encourage you to submit examples of your most complex equations to support@ctech.com and I will be preparing a short tutorial on how to use node_computation and to demonstrate just how easy it is to do these same operations in Earth Volumetric Studio. By...

C Tech has changed our Accounts Receivable address for all payments. This address can be used for both U.S. Postal mail and courier shipments (e.g. FedEx, UPS). Please forward this information to your Accounts Payable and/or Contracts personnel to ensure that we receive payments promptly.Every month we have customers who “accidentally” send payments to our ~4 year old Hawaii address and at least once per year someone sends a payment to our 15 year old California address. These mistakes generally impact the users the most.Our new...
