Jay Hilgert — Fri, 15 Apr 2011 02:00:01 +0000

Hey all you freebie lovers, here’s an opportunity to win an iPhone app. The first BittBox iPhone app contest, but it’s design related so I thought BittBoxers would like it! PrintProof is a simple checklist app geared towards junior designers as a helpful tool to remind you what to check before preparing a document for print. Or as you prepare a document for print, rather. I wish I had this app at my first job, but the iPhone didn’t exist back then… I have 3 copies to give away, YAY! Be sure to read the rules, and good luck :)

Congratulations to honki, Caspian, and Maruis B. They were the 3 lucky winners of a shiny new copy of Pixelmator 1.5! I hope you all enjoy the software, and thanks to the Pixelmator team for a great product, and for making the giveaway possible.

Free Stuff: Pixelmator 1.5 Giveaway – Comment to Win

Jay Hilgert — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 00:09:33 +0000

A long time ago, I was one of the eager souls awaiting the release of the original Pixelmator software. Well, that was, like I said, a long time ago and Pixelmator has made many strides since then. Currently at version 1.5, Pixelmator has too many improvements to list. Among the copious amount of new features is one of my favorites: Save for Web. Being a graphic designer and a blogger, this tool alone is a makes me like Pixelmator even more. I’ve got 3 licenses to give away. Read the rules after the jump, and good luck!

Pixelmator is truly an image editor built exclusively for OS X. The more you read about it, the more you will realize that this software has OS X at heart. It blows my mind how Pixelmator is the product of only 2 brothers. Not to sound overly positive in this mini-review, but I find extra value in a product that has heart and soul behind it, instead of corporate management and quarterly statements to worry about. (not to mention, a fair price)

Ok, I’m done blabbing. Here’s the skinny. Pixelmator has come a long, way, it’s awesome, it’s affordable and I have 3 copies to give away. Good luck everyone!

Free Stuff: 3 Copies of Swift3D V5 Up for Grabs, Comment to Win

Jay Hilgert — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 17:39:01 +0000

Its time for some more free stuff everyone, and I have a good little giveaway for you! The kind folks over at Electric Rain have offered up 3 copies of Swift3D V5 ($249 value each) to 3 lucky BittBox commenters. If you’re not familiar with Swift3D, it’s a very powerful 3D modeling/animation software that makes it super easy and fast to create stunning 3D animations and import them directly into Flash without writing a single line of code. Even if you don’t win, enter the promotional code “BITTBOX” to save 15% off the regular price. Details and more on the software after the jump.

About Swift3D V5:

If you haven’t ever used Swift3D, or you’ve never heard of it before, here’s the low-down. Swift3D is a 3D modeling and animation environment that makes professional animations that can be exported and integrated very easily into Flash. Not only does it make 3D animations a snap, but the interface is easy to use and even a beginner can start animating in minutes. The thing I like the most about Swift is the fact that you can create things in a 3D environment, and export them in vector format, yes vector. I like to design intricate 3D scenes and export them as an AI file to use in Illustrator, but you might be more interested in the Flash side of the program, I don’t know. In fact, I wrote a tutorial a long time ago about using Swift3D as a powerful 3D Illustration tool, if you’re interested in reading that.

Key Features:

Import 3DS and DXF files.
Export Vector OR Raster animations
The only 3D animation software that directly integrates with Flash.
Drag and Drop preset animations (rotate left, right, up, down, etc.)
New to V5, Export to Papervision
Save as AI, EPS, or SVG vector formats
Export to Silverlight (If you’re into that)

Like I said, I use Swift3D mostly for exporting single frames an vector format to use in Illustrator, but that’s what’s great about this software. It can do so many different things, I’m sure many of you could find plenty of good uses for it. Good luck to everyone! Let the contest begin :)
