Hi, everybody.

I'm a designer and computer graphics researcher.

I joined here cause I believe forum is a great source of good information.

Best regards.

Hi, everybody.

I'm a designer and computer graphics researcher.

Is this psychological research you're involved in? Does it involve the mental disorders of graphic designing?

Then you're definitely in the right place.

Welcome!

(Have you seen my blankie?)

Huummm ...

My researches are more "graphical" and less "mental". :p

In fact, I'm always involved with algorithms and math models. I'm that kind of strange people who deal with what is behind Computer Graphics softwares.

In my humble page you can have intuitive examples concerning what I'm talking about. ;)

A lot of thanks for your interest. :)

Welcome. If you were to change your mind and study mental designers, then you would have plenty of subjects here to pick from :D

I have two brothers who are programmers. One now works fulltime in the graphics software market, the other lives and breaths the math behind a lot of image and data analysis--more specifically as it pertains to the field of cardiology. This brother also spent a few years in the satellite imagery analysis area and is author of a lot of research papers, some books-- a lot on fractal analysis, a lot on ... I'm not even sure what. Bet you would enjoy a shop talk session with these guys.

Me? I'm an user/abuser. Though in that small way I've given my two cents to many a project's interface and feature list.

Very nice! Maybe someday your brothers and me can talk about math. In fact, CG developers are not so strange ... just a little bit weird. :p

I see a lot of parallels with programming developers and designers.

More and more of us seem to be focusing on designing design-tools. Content delivery 'creative packaging' that our customers want to contribute THEIR creativity into, or at least be able to easily tweak to suit THEIR tastes and strategies.

Kind of like a programmer who designs high-level programming environments that most people can grasp, and use for practical purposes. Like, VBasic would not be any real professional programmers main choice as a development platform, but might there be big markets waiting out there for more things like this?

In the GD side, it might be a website where posters are encouraged to write, draw, submit Photoshop work, music, advice, or logos, doodling-- anything that's considered creative content. Usually with no renumeration for the owners of the 'package'.

Is this a good thing? Depends on where you're standing, I guess.

Open source creativity: the death of professional creatives?

The subject you reached now is really important. Anyway, It's not easy to be a free provider of content or software ... many times people have only ceticism and critics. People want to get a professional product ready to use and free of charge like if it was a right and not a gift. Almost nobody is interested about give some help for the improvement of free initiatives.

I have never worked as designer for free, but, as a free CG sw developer, I can give my testemonial: don't wait for anything. No grateful, no award, no recognizing, nothing. Make it for yourself if you believe what you do.

And worse: beside all of that, there is the piracy.

I just heard the word math and my brain shut down.
