FineArt 3D 1.4.1 is designed as a future-rich and trustworthy program in which 3D models can easily and quickly be converted into elegant images that closely resemble hand-drawn pen-and-ink illustrations.

Inklination FineArt 3D offers many benefits to a broad range of computer users, including architects, advertisers, graphic artists, Web artists, illustrators, industrial designers, desktop publishers, and hobbyists. It sports nine built-in rendering styles, plus numerous variations on each of these styles, allowing a variety of images, from formal illustrations to loose sketches, to be created from the same 3D model. It is compatible with many QuickDraw 3D applications on the market, and it has been designed to be easy to use.

Inklination FineArt 3D affords many more advantages. First, the pen-and-ink images that it creates take far less storage space, and can be converted to more compact formats, such as GIF, without loss of quality. These images also exhibit a traditional elegance that is unmatched by any other automatic rendering style currently available on the market. In addition, when used with a host application that has been updated to take advantage of Inklination's FineRes technology, Inklination FineArt 3D is able to generate crisp, high-resolution black-and-white illustrations that mix well with text and reproduce flawlessly on most printers. This last feature is ideal for creating small-size images that fit in multi-column documents.

Finally, Inklination FineArt 3D can also be used to create cool animation effects that are guaranteed to get attention. Inklination FineArt 3D packs the power of advanced, patented computer graphics technology into an easy-to-use product. Users trained in the graphic arts will enjoy it as a new medium of expression that also increases their productivity. Users with no formal training in the arts will enjoy its ease of use and the great results they can readily obtain with it.

Requirements: It requires QuickDraw 3D 1.5.4 or newer, a host application that supports QuickDraw 3D plug-in renderers, and MacOS 8.0 or newer.

iTAS nice and wasy-to-use image display tool that takes album art from the currently playing track of iTunes and displays the available art in its own window. It is an iTunes art switcher, so to speak, but a lot more. Read below.

iTAS 0.5 may not sound like much of a program. After all, iTunes already displays the art for you. So, what gives?Well, iTAS does give you some advantages.

First of all, if iTunes does not have the album art, you are given the option to display your favorite pictures (yourself, your girlfriend, wife, partner, fantastic scenes, and whatever you choose from your image files. iTAS will display it for you. Sounds cool?

But theres more! To avoid getting lost in the midst of listening to iTunes and looking at the display, iTAS displays the current track and artist together in one text field. And, to bring more life to the window, the song-artist combo text scrolls every 15 seconds (a la ticker tape in Wall Street; is that how they call it?).

Enough? Well, theres one just one more life-giving feature. The window is displayed at random locations on the desktop (a la screensaver, but not really) every time the track-artist combo text field starts scrolling.

This program is still undergoing further development. If you have suggestions on how to improve it, please send me an email - see my email address below.
