    3D trueSpace 3, free

    If any of you don't have a modeler/renderer yet, trueSpace legacy version 3 is totally free to download (you'll probably get junkmail solicitations for registering, tho'): http://www.caligari.com/products/truespace/ts3/default.asp Don't be put off by the example art at their site Caligari has...

    Application Convergence expands!

    Hi Doodad-- I'm sorry, Doodad, but you're only allowed to be an amateur once and not in perpetuity! ;) Hopefully, all of us together can prove that there are more similarities than differences in respective applications' tool sets. For me, CorelDraw was a jumpstart for Xara, and the late Aldus...

    Printing ID Cards with Photoshop

    Rick Hi Rick-- The first thing I'd do is go to WalMart and ask the store manager: Who makes your ID tags? or Can I see the machine that makes ID tags, or at a discount club store such as Sams or B.J.'s: where'd you get the photography machine that makes the instant member cards? There's no...

    Application Convergence expands!

    Nikkie, AC, the main area will always be for fun stuff, and hopefully you, I, and others will keep the new forums from getting stiff and dry! [honesty] -g-

    Application Convergence expands!

    Hi, p?tr? Hopefully, the new forums will help focus content without narrowing it. IMO, there is no clear, decisive winner in the modeling/rendering category, so I intend to run with the apps I have experience with and punt or hand-off (SuperBowl jargon 8}) the ones I'm clueless about...

    Application Convergence expands!

    Hi, folks! To better serve the graphics community, Mark and I concluded that it would be good to expand and rearrange the current Application Convergence offerings. We now have 3 new forums: ?Photoshop and Xara (and Illustrator): http://www.photoshopgurus.com/forum/index.php?board=32.0...

    The Free (or really cheap) App Thread

    Morguefile Check out morguefile.com. Many, many free for commercial use high-res stock photos, presumably recued from magazine morgues. My Best, Gary

    Partially off-topic and political

    While the current administration is under scrutiny for spying on private citizens and accepting bribes, they've now turned their sights on Google. I'm not a big Google fan because their software such as Desktop is invasive (similarly, your iTunes are monitored, shades of Sony), but without...

    Camera Tidbytes

    Tangentially, recent news is going to impact on Photoshop users. ? Nikon announced that they're ceasing production of film cameras, except for one high-end one. Large format cameras are going to go away, and this leaves me wonderering how the heck a photographer is going to be able to adjust...

    Stupid Application Tricks (&tips)

    Wonderful! Shaun, that is a marvelous image! You did it+what apps if you did? I got a Xara workaround trick. I know a lot of use use blends to do a shadow, but I get lazy on occasion and feather an object. The problem with this is that if the shadow needs to tuck behind an object in a photo...

    The January Free For All

    Shaun I like it! Good idea there, putting it on a layerto merge down in a blending mode--unobtrusiveness is key. Wow, that's quite a feat writing with a mouse. I've rarely tried, mostly because I've been unsuccessful; the mouse is an input device and not a pencil. The more so, I mouse...

    The January Free For All

    Re: The January Free?For?All Thanks for sharing, winterhawke -- As far as copyrights go, my advice to those who are only now getting into the Web, is if you want to post it, be prepared to give it up. A logo I did once for a wedding music caterer was not only appropriated, but the theif...

    The January Free For All

    Further stuff I'd like to open this month's non-competition a littlr further. How do you sign your work? Forget about small company logos for a moment. How do you watermark your work to protect it from theft when you post it? My Best, Gare

    The January Free For All

    Re: The January Free?For?All Hi, nitro! The logo certainly states up front what your services are :righton: To address the possibly thorny gradient problem, why not halftone it for black and white? See below; the halftoning would be a deliberate design element. BTW, BeesKnees is one of my...

    The January Free For All

    A vector lense flare A good photographer avoids lens flare, but a lens flare can be an interesting artifact and also helps disguise a rendered model or photorealistic illustration as being synthetic. Photoshop has a lens flare filter, but if you've played with it, it's hard to center and it...

    The January Free For All

    I thought a good way to start the new year would be to freshen up your logo. This is not strictly speaking a Free?For?All because there will be no judging, no contest. I'd like to see how everyone signs their work. Tips: ? A good logo works in black and white (for business cards and stuff) as...

    Adobe releases their Aperture-killer: Lightroom

    Adobe Lightroom is in beta and can be downloaded at http://labs.macromedia.com/technologies/lightroom/ Evidently, Adobe considers Apple Aperture to be a threat--Lightroom was deveoped for the Mac first, with a Windows beta forthcoming. My take on both Aperture and Lightroom is that both...

    ronmatt Thanks, ronmatt-- I'm a career author and I've written magazine articles for the trade publications such as photography mags, but don't really gather industry tidbits as well as http://cgw.pennnet.com/ does. My Best, Gare

    Movie Reviews

    Aslan...got it. I'm bad with fictional names (it's taken me a month to spell Aragon correctly...which might make a good "Big Movie" in the future after the author completes the trilogy). I, too read the whole Chronicles, but only last year. Doesn't this film (book three I believe...C.S. Lewis...
