March 26, 2009 | Posted in Freebies | 411 Comments »

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. You don’t need a fisheye lens to make panoramas, all you need to do is take a bunch of overlapping images and let Hugin do the rest.

Freeware Find: DrawBerry – A Free Vector Editor for OS X

September 15, 2008 | Posted in Software | 15 Comments »

I recently found a little gem in the ever-growing list of software of the Apple site. DrawBerry is a free vector graphics editor for OS X. It has a slick, Pixelmator-like interface and is pretty easy to use. It’s not as powerful as Inkscape, but it’s much more lightweight and it’s very easy to use. Some features to note are, layers, opacity, blending modes, history, fill shapes with images, SVG support, shape alignment tool, and much more. Check out the video below, and screenshots to get a closer look.
