[Free Programme] Gloodle

[Tami]

Gloodle A fun little app -- Now available for free! Full info & download link at the end of this post. [quote]Gloodle is "doodle with globs" -- drawing using 3D shapes to create 2D images with a lot of richness, complexity, and depth. I guess it's similar (but on a much, much smaller scale) to ZBrush, but my intent was never to make a tool, just something fun to play around with. I wrote Gloodle in 1998, just before starting work on particleIllusion. It was intended to be a simple programming exercise and a way for me to gain a little more experience programming for Windows. Also, it was sort of an "audition" for me -- a way to prove myself to Mike Halvorson at Impulse. Gloodle is a simple app that shows some hint of the immediate feedback that makes particleIllusion so fun and useable: in Gloodle you just draw on the window and cool things happen. Not much thinking required. There are plenty of controls to experiment with, and (like particleIllusion) a lot of power hidden under simple controls. Gloodle is now available for free! Impulse and wondertouch have now released Gloodle version 1.03 for free! This is not a demo or a restricted version, it is the complete version that was released in 1998. What can you do with Gloodle? You can create many interesting and organic images with Gloodle, with powerful features including:     * Several symmetry options, including polar symmetry.     * The ability to import an image and "gloodle-ize" it.     * Create a "pattern" out of a drawing, then draw with that pattern (can create some very intricate images!).     * Add shading to a drawing (or portion of a drawing) to simulate depth, or use Chromadepth coloring (if you have the right 3D glasses!).     * Import your own shape images to draw with.[/quote] [attachment=529:attachment] One of my experiments with the programme. To be able to export it to other software, don't use the standard SAVE commands. In the menubar, go to Image>>Save it will then allow you to save the image you've made as either a .bmp or a .jpg file. One drawback in this programme is that you can't change the brush size-or at least not that I've found yet. It is a fun application to muck around with though. While you're at the site, check out the promo trailer for their main programme, particleIllusion. It's a large file, and the programme itself looks pretty cool. Definitely something the animators and game developers might want to look at. [url=\"http://www.wondertouch.com/gloodle/gloodle.asp\"]Full Info and Download Link[/url]

I can't seem to get it to install correctly. It installs it just doesn't install the exe so when I try to open it it trys to "locate" it /huh.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':huh:\' />
