Presentation and Promo at
Photoshop User Group meeting
Mark your calendar and
come see us at the San Diego Art Institute in
Hazard Center near Mission Valley/Fashion
Valley. Saturday November 8, at 1pm, we'll do a
demonstration of the River Canyon tutorial
techniques to create mountain range dreamscapes
with snow. This event is hosted by the San Diego
Photoshop User Group. We'll show how to quickly
create various types of landscapes, snowy
mountain scenes, even sandy desert dunes or
frozen planets and scenes reminiscent of
Monument Valley/Canyon lands, and talk about how
to use Howler 9.5 as a companion to Photoshop in
this creative process. We'll finish with a short
animation, if only to pick the preferred single
rendering amongst a few.
There will be a special promotional discount for
those attending. If you can't make it, read
below for the next best thing.

November is Movember
For some, Halloween October 31st is the date
that marks the day when it's ok to paint your face
with a funny moustache. It lasts less than a
day.
For others, it's November 1st that marks the
beginning of a month-long tradition: Movember,
with an M, as in Mo, short for moustache. But, you
don't paint it,... you grow it!
Please visit http://www.movember.com/
to learn more. The site will redirect you to a sub
site based on your location. In the US, read http://us.movember.com/
This is all for a good cause, to raise awareness
for a good cause: us. As in, us dudes. Us guys.
Our health, our good health, makes it possible,
for example, to continue to develop Dogwafle, on
less than perfect conditions. So what's not
to like about Movember?
Not the hairy type?
You might not have time to grow it, or you might
just not be the hairy type...
Can you spare a hair?
If you can't grow it, no worries, Dogwaffle is
here to help... we'll help you paint it. Here's a
discount coupon for you to use in order to sponsor

Z-buffer Art
When you do a 3D
render, there is some interesting stuff
happening in the Z-buffer, which collects and
stores the depth or distance of each rendered
pixel. If you map the range of its values to a
grey scale from black to white, or similar,
you'd be surprised whay comes out at times.
Here's one that looks like a misty landscape
by itself. The actual rendering got lost, it
wasn't that impressive, but we exported the
Zbuffer and found this one. Looks like a very
rugged mountain range in a misty, foggy
atmosphere.
