thought I would add a few images, I work mostly digital but started with ADs, Prismacolors, and pencil, Am loving Corel Sketchpad, Corel PainterXI, and Photoshop, base work is done in AutoCad, Sketchup, Sketchpad, or scanned original, rendered on Wacom Cintiq in combination of Painter and Photoshop…

Land F/X is a great tool if you are going to do a concept to working drawings set and are looking for real world ability to create and modify a great set of plans, it is functional within Autocad and now BricsCad ( a cheeper version of ACAD, which looks very powerful for the price), and LandF/X functions with SketchUp (which is not a TOY as stated…[Read more]

Great to see examples of everyone’s work!

I know several who have taken his Color Mastery workshop and were very favorably impressed.

Has anyone taken Richard Scott’s Sketching on location workshop?

yep, sure I could contribute! well done Jennifer

I noted Rico listed Ace Torre as an influence. I recently completed an extensive article profiling Torre for next month’s (May 09) issue of Landscape Architecture Magazine. It’s an in-depth look at his design drawing philosophies and techniques, with step by step photos of Torre in the studio creating one of his famous “tilt-up” aerial drawings.

Whilst I am glad you all find the discussion useful – let’s avoid blank statements and overlooking the progress some applications had achieved. Every release of each application brings many new and sometimes very good features. Some of these upgrades make a huge difference and change the appeal of the software.
So for 2D – AutoCAD LT is g…[Read more]

I’ve been using Rhino and just a word of caution, it is primarily an industrial design 3D modeling program and I’ve found that it does not work well for large scale applications. It exceeds in designing small elements, which can then be exported into other programs that work better with land manipulation.

I think this conversation is great…[Read more]

After using AutoCAD for about 12 years of drafting, and then switching over to Vectorworks Landmark, I would say without hesitation that the advantages of working in Vectorworks over AutoCAD are immense. The only reason why I had been using the “industry standard” is because I didn’t seek anything better. Many take their work out of AutoCAD to do…[Read more]

Great idea for a group! As I accumulate drawings with each class, I am at a loss of what to do with it all, what is worthy to include in a portfolio and how best to create a portfolio.

Has anyone looked at Viz Terra?

Hi Tyler! I am an ’06 OSU grad and work for Crafton Tull Sparks in Tulsa. It is funny talking to anyone who has graduated OSU in the last 20 years. They all have their stories about professors… Welcome to Oklahoma!

That is funny, hope you are enjoying Tulsa Tyler.

Hello, OSU Grads.

My name’s Tyler and I just moved to Tulsa from Minnesota. I graduated from the NDSU Landscape Architecture Program in Fargo, ND in ’08. I’m working at LandPlan Consultants. It’s funny to hear you talk about the professors. Almost everyone here is an OSU Grad. I have heard Janell Milbrum and Michael Crumb (current employees and…[Read more]

Stupid Economy!!! I agree Cassi lots of room for improvement. I think an internship requirement for a semester in fourth year would be a huge improvement.

Besides no boss wants to spend a year teaching you. Not his job.

Me being the slacker not you Cassi.

Cassi,

Coming form the biggest slacker in school. Do not see things so shortsighted. School is where you get your first set of tools for the profession. It is a time that sets a foundation to be able to learn efficiently in the field. Could the program be updated sure always. As a professional would you want others just to be able to start…[Read more]
