Wow! Daz'z newest sale is a great one! They're calling it the Economic Stimulus Bundle. It's $1300 of software for only $199. You get:
Carrara 6.1 Pro
Hexagon 2.5
Bryce 6.1
Mimic Lite
Mimic Pro
Mimic Pro for LightWave
It's a fantastic deal and makes me regret being one of the people who bought early. I bought Carrara 5, Hexagon 2.5, and Bryce 6.1. For me to upgrade to these same versions without using this bundle would cost me $149.98 to upgrade my Carrara 5 alone, $69.95 for Mimic Lite, $199.95 for Mimic Pro, $299.95 for Mimic Pro for LightWave. $719.83 just for me to upgrade to this exact package.
If you've thought of working with 3D programs this is a fantastic opportunity.
I am so excited about the upcoming release of Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended . I've been watching some tutorial videos about it. The new version allows use of and manipulation of 3D objects right there in photoshop! If you're interested, have a look at this page: http://www.russellbrown.com/tips_tech.html Scroll down to the CS3 Extended Edition tutorials and watch the one called Russell Brown and the Argonauts. I can't wait!!!
TantraNova.com has been completely converted to Joomla now. Feel free to wander over and have a look. You can even sign up for a free account with them and interact in their forum.
I'm busy converting and updating ForeverReiki.com . The content hasn't been added yet so there isn't much to see, but I've been re-doing the template. I've also got a list of things to do for EssentialHM.com. If you know a module or component that will create serialized gift certificates, please e-mail me and let me know about it.
I've also been editing/reviewing more than 700 photographs.
I'm looking forward to all the new things going on here at SilverGroveDesigns.
SilverGroveDesigns.com will soon be offering user blogs and a forum. I'll also be tying in my CafePress.com items and more references to the art products that I use.
