Vectoraster 3 – Vector Halftones in a Snap

April 1, 2009 | Posted in Software | 25 Comments »

Lost Minds has recently released Vectoraster 3, the third iteration of a handy application for OS X that takes images and instantly converts them into vector halftones that can be exported and opened in almost any vector editor. I wrote about Vectoraster a while ago, and version 3 is quicker and has a couple cool new features, one of which I want to show you right now.

This week I’ve got a treat for 3 lucky Windows users. My friends at Electric Rain have just released a new Swift3D plugin for Photoshop CS4 Extended, and to spread the word, I’ve got 3 copies to give away! It’s WINDOWS ONLY, (sorry Mac users) so please only comment if you have a Windows machine. If you aren’t familiar with Swift3D, its a 3D modeling and animation software. The plugin aims to add more 3D functionality to Photoshop and it’s packed with features. Some examples can be found here. Good luck everyone :)

Freeware Find: Hugin Photo Stitcher

I’ve been experimenting with panoramas lately and as a result, I found a very nice free program for stitching multiple images together. It’s called Hugin, and its available for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.
