A lime render is a coating of lime-based material that was traditionally applied over rough, unsightly brickwork or rubblestone masonry walls. Non-hydraulic lime stuccos and hydraulic lime stuccos are common lime-based renders. In addition to these traditional applications, lime renders can restore some measure of protection to masonry buildings that have been sandblasted. (Sandblasting a masonry building is incredibly damaging.

Yes lime renders can be combined with external, wood fibre insulation boards to create insulated breathable render systems. See technical sheets for more details.

Lime is calcium oxide applied in granular form. Lime helps improve lawn color and density, controls thatch, and increases root development. Lime balances the pH levels in the soil that have been affected by the fertilizer applications throughout the year.

Even the British Cement Association in their publication 'External Appearance Matters' recognise that it is inappropriate to use a hard cement based render on most backgrounds because they trap water behind the render within the wall. The simple advantage of using a lime render is that they allow walls to breathe-out any water that penetrates into them. In addition, lime renders do not put the same stresses and strains on older more fragile building materials.

A render is generally a flat floated coating, which can be trowelled on, or cast and pressed back to a smooth finish. Smooth render, sometimes referred to as stucco is less common in Scotland and in vernacular building. Often, smooth renders were lined out to imitate ashlar stone masonry.

The fastest method is to use bitmap fonts. Typically you would create a greyscale texture which includes all of the letters on a black background, aligned in order of their ASCII codes. You'd then load the texture into your program as a 4 channel image (with each channel a duplicate of the first). Each letter requires texture coordinates, so you'd need to store these in a structure of some sort.

Whenever you determine there is a need for lime. (The idea that there is a correct time of year to lime goes back to the labor requirements of a subsistence farm. If you don't have more free time than subsistence farmers you are doing something wrong.)

Hydraulic lime mortar is a lime mortar that hardens in damp or even wet conditions through a chemical reaction rather than exposure to air. (This is in contrast to standard, or non-hydraulic lime mortars, which harden by absorbing carbon dioxide, a process known as carbonation.) Hydraulic qualities are created when clay is included in the lime mixture.

Lime is a naturally occurring element that can be applied to the lawn to help balance the soil's pH so that it is more conducive for turf grasses to thrive. Included in a lime treatment is also a calcium supplement. Lime naturally helps control the acidity in top soil. To get the full benefit of readily available food to your lawn, the top soil must have the optimum pH level.

Slaked lime putty is quicklime (burned limestone) that has been mixed with water and allowed to age. Slaked lime putty for frescoes is finer than regular slaked lime, and it's been aged longer in order to make it smoother. This is crucial for frescoe work, which depends on very smooth surfaces.

Both of these plasters are typically used for interior applications, but fresco lime plaster is composed of aged lime putty and fine aggregates.

Hydrated lime (calcium hydroxide) has more neutralizing power than the more common dolomitic (calcium-magnesium carbonate) limestone. Dolomitic lime is usually sold in 40-50lb. Bags vs. the small bag of Hydrated lime. This means that for gardening purposes, you should apply about two-thirds the recommended amount of Hydrated lime.

The most likely explanation is that you have rendered the movie at a higher resolution than your computer can play back with the QuickTime compressor (codec) with which the movie was rendered. Keep in mind that full-motion video at broadcast resolution can not be played back by most computers unless it was rendered with a QuickTime compressor designed for computer play back. Please see the "QuickTime Addendum" chapter of the documentation which discusses these issues in detail.

When you generate an AVI you should consider what medium (ie CD or hard disc) you want to put it on, and what sort of computer you want to play it back. The larger the image size, image quality or audio quality, the larger the final output file will be. If you make these options lower, you will decrease the final output file size, but also decrease the output quality.

OpenGL can't help you render caustics, except for texture mapping. GLUT 3.7 comes with some demos that show you how to achieve caustic lighting effects.

Select the menu option "Scene -> Render Scene" or just press control+R on your keyboard. Click on the button labeled "OK" in the dialog box that appears. When the render is finished, you can save your picture.

Render your scene twice, once as it is reflected in the mirror, then once from the normal (non-reflected) view. Example code demonstrates this technique. For axis-aligned mirrors, such as a mirror on the YZ plane, the reflected scene can be rendered with a simple scale and translate. Scale by -1.0 in the axis corresponding to the mirror's normal, and translate by twice the mirror's distance from the origin.
