Update to my Website (Again...)

[rtgwbmsr]

Yeah...software is WAY too expensive...

I want Lightwave ($1,595) and Poser 4 ($174) still...

I don't even have a Mac desktop computer on which to use this stuff! An AGP/Digital Audio will set me back 650-1000.

If only money grew on trees...

Damn, if I had the money I'd be doing all that 3D crap. The only reason I can use Photoshop is because I bummed it off my friend (and I'm not even going to ask where he got it). Some day...

macman, try this: http://www.macgimp.org/

i didn't look at it too much since i don't have a mac, and i don't know anything about 3d design, but it looks like an osx port of gimp, meaning you get all that photoshop stuff for free, legally, more or less.

might be worth a try anyway? also, if photoshop doesn't run natively yet (don't know if it does, but if it does why isn't it on linux?  :mad:  ) in osx, it's something to consider?

[rtgwbmsr]

Photoshop 7 is OS X native (6 might be, I dunno)

[Pissed_Macman]

Yeah its really annoying to have to wait thirty seconds for Classic to start up to be able to do anything on Photoshop. I'm not complaining though, I'm very fortunate to have that program.

And thanks for the link, Calum. I had no idea Tux was created with GIMP. I looked at the site's gallery and I've been keeping track of the stuff you guys have made and GIMP has a nice look. I'd be interested in downloading it, but it says on the download page "this module isn't active." That's okay, they can't keep it from me forever!

what a shame! i never noticed it wasn't available yet.

people say gimp is not as good as photoshop but i personally haven't found gimp in any way unsatisfactory (but then i am in *no* *way* a graphics power user) still, the fact is that the gimp is being developed a lot faster than photoshop is, so sooner or later (i suspect sooner) gimp will actually overtake photoshop (but the windoids will take 5 to 10 years to notice)

edit: macman, you can *buy* macgimp for (drumroll please) $29.95 this page here and they will mail it to you. compare that with the umpty tum thousand dollars you guys were talking about before!

Hey Dustin, I downloaded all four of your water scape pictures and used the Pictures Folder screen effect to make a cool screen saver. Now they enlarge and fade into each other. It looks really nifty (anyone who wants to do this, remember to click the Keep slides centered check box or it won't work, and keep fading on as well).
