Adding Polish to your Photoshop Designs

So, as a self-taught photoshopper, I’ve learned to find my way around the internets looking for useful tutorials. But it seems the more tutorial sites that come out, the worse the tutorials get. I’ve spent countless hours looking for a tutorial that would show me that one technique I need to bring my designs from good to great. Well, recently I stumbled upon this post from Tutorial9 - and I have to say this is the closest thing I’ve come to that very tutorial I’d been searching for.

Anyway, enjoy. It’s a great post to read.

My First Try at Papervision3D

So I just went through my first Papervision3D tutorial. For those of you that don’t know, Papervision is an open source 3D rendering engine for Flash. I’ve seen some really impressive work done with Papervision, and now that there’s a need for it at work, I decided to brush up on it. This is a super basic example, just a tutorial that I followed at Lee Brimelow’s always helpful gotoandlearn.com. Click on the faces of the cube to follow links to some of my favorite web sites. Enjoy!

Flash CS4… Holy Wow!

I just got done reading a very informative article over at Flash Magazine laying out all the exciting new features that Flash CS4 will have to offer. It’s been 18 months since CS3 came out, and i have to say I didn’t find too many new features to be excited about when it came over, save for the fact that it looked more Adobe-like. But now, Flash is becoming even more of a multimedia powerhouse, with support for inverse kinematics, a brand new method for creating tweens, integration with Adobe’s Kuler web app, and a brand spankin’ new IDE. Check out the article over at Flash Magazine for a better overview than I can write.

And I know some of you will get very scared about this - don’t worry. Change is (usually) good.

Mega Man 9 to be released with a limited NES cartridge

Just look at how sweet that is

Oh yes, it’s true. Mega Man 9 will be reissued later this month in the form of downloadable content on the Wii, XBox 360 and Playstation Network. I found an article on Ars Technica all about it, definitely worth checking out.

Now how can I manage to snag one of these beauties?
