Quite useful!

I had problems the whole time I was in school with my desktop crashing because my video card didn’t have enough umph. What solved the problem was more memory in the video card itself. You can also check the auto-cad sight to make sure any card you are thinking of getting is ok with auto-cad. The laptop I bought when I graduated is a 64-bit with a…[Read more]

Awesome… thanks for the tips… that’s exactly what I was looking for.
THANKS!

I can attest to newer Geforce cards.  I have a 470 from last year, and it runs like a champ.  MIGHT end up going to a dual card setup, but that’s caused more by “Battlefield 3” than work…

Can anyone recommend me a video card to be able to work on Sketch up, photoshop, illustrator and CAD? I am getting a new computer and wanted to see the minimum requirements I should have to support all those software.

Thank you

I don’t speak Mandarin or Bahasa?
Appreciate any input you can give me…
Thanks…

great idea this group! it is exactly what i was looking for! 🙂

Peter,  your comment about approaching your portfolio from a print format perspective is interesting.  I think many of us who spend a lot of time at the drawing board suffer from this, and moving our personal work to digital format is a jump for some.  I think that if you have a standardized filing system in place that is reflected on your co…[Read more]

Thanks for the feedback, Page! It’s funny, looking back now I obviously should have clarified a number of issues you picked up on.
The document is set up in an 8×10 Blurb template (because most of my sites are portrait orientation) and the “cover page” is actually Page 1 of a Blurb template (the cover is a separate document at this time because…[Read more]

Mr. Lin,
 
when will your next 7 day workshop be in the United states?

Hi all…Just joined and am really interested in Chinese and Japanese landscape architecture.  China is what made me switch from International Environmental Policy to Landscape Architecture and so I now feel the need to give back in some way shape or form.  Excitement abounds.

@ Peter Coyle.  Regarding the pdf portfolio you uploaded to this wall, here are my comments on layout.
Cover page:  clean layout but a missed opportunity to immediately showcase your skills.  Consider some of your images as a semi-transparent background, or a small thumbnail strategically placed.  Re-format the cover to landscape orientation so…[Read more]

Hy everybody¡¡ what about the shaderlight ?

Hi All,
I am the UK’s leading recruiter for landscape architects. I will soon be opening a new office in HK. I am interested in developing professional relationships with landscape architects in HK / China. I will be in HK 8th – 18th August. If anyone would like to meet please let me know.

Hi! I also would love anyone to review my attached portfolio and offer any critiques! NB: this is a low resolution copy for upload size reasons, so smaller text is illegible (focusing on general content/layout). Thanks in advance for any comments!

Hello
I am Charles Cobble recently returned to Shanghai from a year or so in Abu Dhabi.  It is good to be back home.  I look forward to learning more about not only the design of landscape in Asia  but also the business of it as well.  I hope you all are as busy as you want to be.

Dear Zach,,,,Thank you very much for such valuable information,,,one more question ,,,Is there are many differences between the free version and payable one ?,,,,best regards,,,,kiwan

In regards to the first comment about the program operating very slow, I would guess that either there are so many objects in the file that it is making the program run slow, or hardware on your computer such as your CPU and/or your Memory are not fast enough for the program.  In regards to the CAD to Sketchup, Google removed that option in the…[Read more]
