iChalk 3.41 gives a flexible, efficient Rendezvous-enabled full color chalk board program for OS X. With Rendezvous technology, a group of creative people can set up a shared doodling-board and spill their creativity all over the net. Yet, there has been a learned argument made about the Masters having used a gadget called Camera Obscura in painting their life-like masterpieces. Learn by tracing the Masters! Or just grab an image from Frame grabber module off your camcoder.

With built-in QuickTime interface, one can archive the history of an on-line doodling session frame by frame. One of the vital techniques in creating a smooth animation is "rotoscope". iChalk features Roto-for-dummies. Use it to create a cute Valentine card for your beloved. With newly added text/caption tool, make your own cartoon series neatly packed into a Quicktime movie. The possibilities are endless now with full color support and adjustable window size, even during shared session. Very pressure sensitive, of course! (for tablet users) Owners of iStorm may use iChalk for free.

2. Rotoscope for the masses: Built-in QuickTime movie generation.

iStorm 3.41 gives a flexible, efficient program which a group of people, serious or not, can use for an impromptu collaboration on a shared media rich document within the LAN and over the internet. Over the last few years, Apple has made revolutionary strides with their iApps, iTunes, iMovie, iChat and iDVD. With the exception of iChat, however, they are geared toward creative "solo" activities. A Cassandra, if on a bad day, would go even further and worry that they are supreme digital "consumption" vehicles which submerge us further deep in digital garbage.

iStorm started with a somewhat rebellious pose. Why not simply connect creative people together and let them stare at a blank page for a while? That was version one. Over the past year, it has acquired useful tools, which are discreetly hidden in understated user interface lest they should disturb the gathering creative pulse.

For scientists, it taps into the TeX engine in a very creative way. Mad inventors would enjoy doodling on the shared chalkboard. High school students attempted to use it to duplicate their reports on the Scarlet Letter. (The square ones later decided to use MS-Word instead, since it made their paper look more "polished"?) Your bosses sync-navigate your PDF report and add their comments, welcome or not. Future New Yorker cartoonists work together on their panel stroke by stroke. What it does not allow, to our dispair, yet, is to collaborate on music making over the Pacific in real time.

Major Features:

1. SyncPDF: Shared Navigation and Annotations of PDF Document
2. Captions in the chalkboard, perfect for cartoons and chemical formulae.
