Damn, how to you get your cat to do that? My cat sleeps all day, ignoring me completely. She waits by the door for my girlfriend to get home, and turns super friendly. I am basically a food dispensing unit.

Hahahahhah, the more you ignore them, or are away from them, the friendlier they act towards you when they see you. Try to pass her off to your girlfriend, and go by and visit from time to time, you’ll see it’s exactly the other way around!

I myself had a couple of dogs… loved all of them, but I lost each and every one of them in the most gruesome manner (freak accident, dog-napping, poisoning by gardener). I’m done having a pet, for life… or at least for as long as I can’t move somewhere in the mountains with my girlfriend and future wife, and know they would be safe.

Yeah… I jumped to CS3 from ps7, so I think skipping 1 or 2 versions won’t be that much of a leap for me. I did see a few MAJOR improvements regarding 3D integration in CS4 that kind of lack in PSCS3 , but I have a 3D modeling background, so I just do that part in Cinema4D…

I’m still stuck at cs3… I think I will cook up the necessary $$ by CS6 .

It is a very good point, i will exsplain below

I am a little strange but i hate being the same as everyone else, that why i dont shop in highstreet shop for cloths i get one offs and things custom made and i carry this principle all through life!

That is why i have never bought any thing of the web for use in my own projects, i want it all to be new and fresh and not for other people to have the exact same as me, i would be a lot more tempted if thinks were limited edition,

In being different, we are similar… there’s quite a lot o people out there that live by that mentality, and that’s a good thing.

Excuse the off-topic. Motion Reactor made a pretty good point, so I can’t add much to that, except for the fact that logo design and corporate branding are two really touchy subjects that require exclusivity, and are rather prone to be done by a freelancer that’s in direct contact with the client, rather than have the client buy something that’s on public display. (I know, there are dozens of sites that offer such services, but I would still advise any client towards hiring a designer rather than buying already visible ideas) since the internet is the greatest pool of inspiration, which can lead to copy-cat syndrome even if some aren’t necessarily aware that they are being influenced.

If you see the word ECTS it means European Credit Transfer System… At my university, Technical University Vienna, Austria, under the bachelor for Architecture, 3 ECTS are equal to 90 hours workload (including class, homework time, lab time), and for my profile I need 180 ECTS , where the average course gives you 2 ECTS , and the maximum I found was 10 ECTS for studios, which generally imply literally moving to the University grounds since you need to be there for 10 h a day… some days.

Currently going on 60 ECTS , and am pretty fond of this, but I need to start working in parallel, because prices over here are killing me, and you literally can’t do more than 35 ECTS a year. If you need further details about ECTS credits, and what permissions you need to get certain courses and so on and so forth, just contact me through my profile page.

Anyone know how I can export vectors from an Illustrator file to an icon set size? Perhaps a script for Illustrator? I’m trying to create an icon set and release it in multiple .png sizes. - Thanks

You know you could just save all the png’s and open them up with photoshop, and batch process them there. Correct me if I’m wrong, but PS supports PNG , and there are a lot of actions for that sort of job. You could even quickly create one to serve your purpose. The whole operation would take anywhere from 5 minutes to 30 depending on number of size variations you are willing to offer, and number of icons (as in how much time your computer actually spends applying and saving new files into folders)

What he said, but use white/transparent on a new layer instead. Using white/black can cause issues when you cut the black. In order to get it to fade out, you need to create a layer mask and then apply a radial gradient.

What he said, but you could use my method as well, and simply grow sellection 1-5 pixels and then delete HA! (it’s just a matter of how twisted your workflow actually is)

p.s: thanks for adding the radial gradient mask part, forgot to mention that detail…

You could fill up your canvas with a really thin stripe pattern (black and white), then go to filter, distort, polar coordinates, click it and then be sure to click the first check box, I think that’s the right one, although the preview should be pretty much self-explanatory. After that, remove the dark contents by clicking select, color-range, fuzyness maximum, click black, ok, then delete. And you should have an elegant white/transparent polar effect, like the rays shown there.

Hope this helped.

Just started following on the list (ContrastBdesign is my id) I have no 3D models up yet, but I do however plan to add some in the near future.

added you thanks for following… I’m same, I want to make some files for 3DO, learned the basics of blender 2.5 this week, and I practice now modeling and sculpting

I have extensive Archicad, Cinema4D, Zbrush, and 3Dstudio max background, but I really lack the time, due to the university… I might actually even mix business with pleasure and spice up the marketplace with some yummi interior architecture (as that is my background) I had to do for the university

Thanks for adding.

@_freshface: Impressive! With only two items you amassed the same amount of sales as i have with almost 24 (i think).
