Competition Submittal Deadline 9/15/09 by 4pm

Just a reminder, competition entries are due tomorrow by 4pm at the AIA office (1400 S St.). Good luck to all – We are looking forward to all your hard work!!

As the Chapter is hosting the Fremont Park Design Competition, I thought you all might be interested in some of the artwork created for the Chalk It Up event held at the park over Labor Day weekend.

I have questions about Vectorworks.. one of that is.. when I use VW for 3d site modeling, it becomes so slow.. I made layers simple, even classes.. But still slow..
I’m using ‘i-mac’ resent version. How I can make it faster? Change Graphic Card?
Up Grade Memory? Is there anybody knows about VectorWorks?

Thanks! I’ll try it! I really want to be good at visualizing.. !!

I use mostly Photoshop for my renderings, I have dabbled a bit in Corel Painter, and Corel Painter Sketchbook, but I really like photoshop. The trick to the water is its is an image that I found on Google images and distorted into perspective in Photoshop and then pasted into the image…

This looks good. What program do you usually use for this? Especially I like that water
texture. I want to learn it!

something to look at… please provide comments, questions, or criticism. thanks
Bob
