For instructors and students involved in the visual arts, a pressure-sensitive tablet is crucial. A mouse simply won’t cut it–not in the professional world, not in an educational setting. It used to be that I’d pretty much universally recommend Intuos tablets to my readers. Now, however, with its comparatively low price point, wealth of high-end functionality, high-quality display, and surprising portability, I can’t help but move the Cintiq 12WX up to the top of my recommendation list.

Unreal Tournament 3 – Unreal Engine powered workflow The Krall featured in the original Unreal Tournament as a low-poly ‘wide-mouthed frog’ with a spear, supposedly a fierce warrior. “We felt that this character could totally be transformed into a really mean looking beast,” Jones says, “and with some additional concept work the character maintained the tribal feel but also incorporated more of the UT elements that we look for; large bulk, adornments, armor.” The high-poly version went through a few further changes, going from more lizard-like to more beast-like with a more aggressive posture and facial features. Kevin Lanning worked his magic to take this model to the next level, using Mudbox and 3ds Max to create a seamless modular character. The latest Creation Engine Catalog is now available.

I talk to newly minted designers and they can’t wrap their heads around the concept that anyone ever used tables for layout. They just do not get it. That shift in the field is as much due to what tools like Dreamweaver output as it is advances in browser support. (The two being inextricably linked, of course.) JL: My company, WebAssist, and you recently collaborated on a new extension for Dreamweaver called Eric Meyer’s CSS Sculptor. Does having your name above the title in a piece of software get you a better table at a restaurant or change your life in any other ways? EM: Well, sure — people at conferences are constantly throwing the horns at me now. So thanks for that, Joe. Also — and please don’t mention this to my city’s architectural review board — I’ve installed an Olympic-size pool in a specially built sub-basement of my house to store all the cash that’s come pouring in, thus fulfilling my long-standing dream of becoming a real-life Scrooge McDuck. Otherwise, no, not really. JL: Seriously, though, do you think CSS Sculptor has changed the general landscape for Dreamweaver designers? If so, how? EM: I’d like to think it enables more rapid CSS-based layout development. I know it’s one of the few interface-driven products I’d consider using myself, which is a pretty high compliment given that I’m an old-school hand-coder. (You’ll have that in a 14-year veteran of the field.) But I think what is really important about Sculptor is the way it exposes nearly all the CSS properties one can use in a compact interface; and that it shows the document tree, with the application of CSS to it, in a relatively intuitive way. Those two things allow designers to better internalize how CSS applies to the document, and what can be applied. They make Sculptor a learning tool in addition to a development tool, and that makes me happy. The Genesis Project: Making Vista play nice – make it bend to your will For the record, Production Premium CS3 is and has been Vista compatible since we shipped: Production Premium CS3 System Requirements These questions along with work that I need to do this week led me to spend some time bringing my Vista machine up to snuff and prompted me to start making it act the way I want it to.
