More Free Design Software
June 21, 2009
Free download of Alchemy 007 graphic design software found at Alchemy.org – check it out! Here’s what the site syas about their software:
Alchemy is an open drawing project aimed at exploring how we can sketch, draw, and create on computers in new ways. Alchemy isn’t software for creating finished artwork, but rather a sketching environment that focuses on the absolute initial stage of the creation process. Experimental in nature, Alchemy lets you brainstorm visually to explore an expanded range of ideas and possibilities in a serendipitous way.
It’s unlike any other design software I’ve ever seen, and modifications are underway to incorporatea a music feature which will sketch the sound wave lengths…wow. For a sample of the designs I’ve created using Alchemy, visit my Flyingdiscs Zazzle site to see my “Sun Warriors” series.
Terragen
July 14, 2008
Terragen is a graphic design software capable of photo-realistic results for professional landscape visualization, special effects, art and recreation. Of course, everyone will get a better idea and feel for just what it is if they first try it out. To such ends, the following information is made available:
Free Version: to obtain a 100% free version of Terragen v0.9.43, visit the following link and select which system (Windows, MacIntosh) you intend on using Terragen with- http://www.planetside.co.uk/terragen/download.shtml
Newer Version: this version, of course, is available only by means of purchase, and can be found at the following link – http://www.planetside.co.uk/terragen/tg2/index.shtml
To see a sample of the sort of images that are possible to make using Terragen, you may visit this link – click here.
I’ve used the free version for some time now and completely enjoy it. There are limitations, however, such a maximum allowable images sizes, upper end resolution limits, and the finality that, once the user has saved an image and quits the program the file is no longer editable. I suspect that each of these issues are resolved with the better, pay for use version.
Have fun with Terragen!
