new degree AIP

Hi friends.

Just thought I'd say hello to all. Paul,
it is crazy cool that your site will be out west now too!

I have applied to the Art Institute of Pittsburgh; with some success I hope.
I plan on attending in Oct. to pursue a BA in Game Design.
20 classes from Canisius will transfer, wooppeee. It's a 180 credit hour program, but I will be a 3D studio max machine when I am done in 2 years. Pittsburgh seems to be a pretty cool city, especially because their sales tax is lower than 9.25%!!!
We should have passed that red budget for a year or two to catch back up with things.
Well, I'm not going to get into politics, it gets me fired up.! :(

Paul, does your 3D class have a site this semester; I long for my 3D modeling days back. The world of prepress/print is the most stifling creative environment ever. Sonn I will be free in Pittsburgh.

javascript woes!

I am having trouble writing a javascript that will print an Adobe Illustrator file and dynamically print each layer to a different postscript file.

I have been successful at creating a script that will print each layer, but it prompt's me to name the script and choose a folder.

Does anyone have any idea what the code would look like that would name the postscript file by the name aready given to its AI layer.??

I know javascript pretty well for use on the web, but creating scripts that run in illustrator are more difficult because I don't know the objects.

The only documentation I can find is that which is on the Adobe site, which is a marginal help at best.

Thanks to anyone that may be able to help.

mushrooms

what is the sudden buzz about mushrooms lately? they are strange looking creatures. I guess no one mushroom is the same! I personally like them. Paul, I too have many pictures of mushrooms, which I took myself.

I was playing around with textures, and this is what I came up with.

alleghany

I spent a week at Alleghany state park at the end of August. It was awesome to not think of work for a week. I got to hike around and break my digital camera in. Check out my amature photography and let me know what you think. I even found some magic shrooms!

This is a pretty coollooking water pump. It didn't work, but the texture on it is great.!!

work work work

I figured that after I graduated from canisius, I would have free time to spend drawing, painting, or modeling. BUT!! the only thing I have yet to do is work. My internship from my last semester hired me. All I do all day is prepare stuff for print. Some designers have no idea about print rules, they're really good designers, but don't know a damn thing about print production.

I have fun at work, it is nice to get paid for doing something I studied at school. Just wish I could design more things. By the time I get home from niagara falls and eat dinner, its 6 or 7 pm and painting or looking at a computer screen is out of the question.

I miss school big time, I also feel that I am a bit dumber by not attending this coming semester.
