Nvidia Photoshop Normalmap Filter is not working with 64bit CS4

just for info.
do not try to get it working..its useless.

wow, now we have GPU using to be disabled, when using xp64, no "use adobe dialog" when saving and the useful nvidia plugin also do not work with cs4 64bit... its amazing

seems the usability of cs4 have increased only in parts that are hidden to me....

old stuff heated up

this is an old one, but i cant leave my hands off it..
so thats a forest path, that i once modeled by (from?) a photo reference.
i pimped it a bit for the rederosity forums.

December Games Academy class is done

So, the december class Art_I_07 is through.
heres what we did:

• modeling and texturing of dunes and set up a foggy desert rendering
• modeling and texturing ingame stairs
• create some ingame props like fern and a bigger branch to arrange an outdoor scene
• object placing for ingame use. exploiting the parallax effect.
  

you will find some tutorials on it later. its quite much to do atm.
so make sure to check back.

Favourite folders in Photoshop save dialog

need to save into favorites folders in photoshop CS2 and CS3?
no more favorites in the photoshop save dialog?
don't know what i'm talking about?

ok, time for you, to see this cool tutorial!!
(note: this not works for CS4)

EDIT: in CS4 this option is gone. favorite folders are impossible. But you can exchange the default windows locations in the left of the save dialog by doing this:

To exchange a location to the left-hand side of the Open and Save dialog boxes use the group policy editor:
in Vista it's same as XP,

Go to
Start > Run > gpedit.msc > User Configuration > Adminstrative Templates >
Windows Components > Windows Explorer > Common Open File Dialog

Enable "Items displayed inPlaces Bar"
type the path to the desired location.
Alternatively navigate inside the Explorer to the desired location, and copy/paste the path.

I got this useful tip from Rick Moore from www.adobetalk.com
