          Hi Guys,

          I've downloaded the Jing Project (free) for the Mac also registered with ScreenCast, free for 60 days. There is also a Win version of Jing. I can highly recommend this set up for communication.

              Crazy bump

              A very nice little program that dos normal maps, specularity maps, displacement maps and occlusion maps. Pretty pricey at 300 dollars for a commercial license but a really nice program to use.

              Almost forgot to mention it does a real time preview of the map and how it affects the mesh.

                cpuz

                If you want to know something about your CPU this is the app for you. It tells you pretty much everything you need to know plus quite a lot of other stuff.

                I believe theres also a gpuz, if your so inclined.

                  Tree[d] from the maker of Gile[s] is the best tree generator I've found and... it's free.
                  You can also use images as "crosses" for even more low poly branches/leaves (see pic 2).
                  Can export animated trees in .x format.

                      Did you mean that you have Vista?
                      It runs fine on XP and even better if you have a fast graphics card.

                          Microsofts directx file format, for game engines and such.
                          (I think there is a .x importer exporter for SketchUp.)
                          The great thing with three[d] is that it exports animated trees that looks like the wind is blowing.
                          I've done some tests with it and DX Studio and exported buildings from SketchUp.
                          Nothing to show yet though.

                          While I'm at it DX Studio http://www.dxstudio.com is a program for making realtime visualisations and such. Also comes in a free version with some limitations but great for trying/learning it. (New version to be out in september.)

                            I did indeed mean that ive got vista, can anyone else confirm wether or not it works on vista? (might just be by machine spazzing out.)

                              I got it to run just fine on vista 64bit last night. Cool Program, I'm interested in playing with it more.

                                Cute PDF

                                Surprised noone has mentioned this yet.

                                Basically it installs itself as a printer on your computer, and if you send a document to it to be printed it is converted to a PDF. Pretty nifty ๐Ÿ‘

                                  I use PDF995, it works pretty well, I've had a licensed copy for a while now.

                                  Save the Earth, it's the only planet with chocolate.

                                    Is it a stand alone program? (as opposed to a cutePDF type program.)

                                        Well, it needs to be installed as a PDF printer doesn't it? There are some other components avaiable that are part of the 995 suite and that are standalone and some integrate.

                                        Save the Earth, it's the only planet with chocolate.

                                          Remus - I added Objectdock and like it quite a bit. Thank you!

                                          I suggest strongly using iGoogle for your home page too - add all your daily websurf links, weather, news, rss feeds etc...
