Youtube offers a wide range of Adobe Creative Suite software tutorials. Their viewing makes me think of a famous statement uttered by 12th century philosopher Bernard of Chartres: nanos gigantum humeris insidentes.
Indeed, imagine what the profession of planning would be without the contributions of innovative planners and software engineers. What are the new horizons of graphic ahead of us? Or rather, to turn this question on its head, what are the graphic possibilities they may hinder?
The future will likely bring new tools to represent cities. But as technological change sets forth innovative ways to frame and answer questions, how do we balance the virtual hand vs. the sketching hand? When do we choose one vs. the other? Perhaps, this is an open dialogue, one which must be geared in relation to the specific task at hand. what do you think?
Anyway... enough of pondering about the virtual Hand. Here are some cool tutorials. Check them, try them and come up with your own conclusions to this evolving story.
Happy computer rendering

Note: If you accidentally launch the perspective tool (like Alvarro and I did), you can close the feature by hovering over the perspective symbol that appears in the left-hand corner after launching the tool with your mouse. Just select the "hide" option when it appears.
ReplyDeleteKaren this is a great tip. How did you discover this?
ReplyDeleteFernanado, I happened to find it accidentally while frantically moving my cursor around Photoshop. The help feature and Google were of little help.
