Turn Ideas into 3D models with the MakerBot CupCake CNC
In: tutorial
11 Feb 2010WebProNews got to check out a very cool invention at the Makerbot booth at CES 2010. The Makerbot Cupcake CNC is a 3D printer than can create almost anything up to 4″x4″x6″. Using 3D modeling software, the user can create anything they want and the printer will use ABS plastic to build it into a 3d model. Users can also check out Thingiverse to see what other people have created.
The cost of this cool 3D printer is around $750-$950.

In reality, 3d images do not exist. 3d images would be holograms, or reality. Any given image is 2 dimensional, even if it depicts a 3 dimensional scene.
Most 3d packages let you create screen shots.

The most popular software for editing photos is Photoshop.
==== DETAIL ====
Photoshop can do just about anything any other software can do. There is a process that mimics "air brush" but that term is not used in Photoshop. PS is kind of complicated and difficult to get started. But once you do, it is very powerful. I would say that about 80% of the Photoshop users only know how to use about 20% of the software features.
The only "free" photo editing software (that I know of) is Gimp.
The only thing is that I found (a) installation is not simple (b) features are limited (c) software is unstable – crashes.
The last part (software crashing) is the worst part. I would edit for 5, 10, 15 minutes and then the software would crash (losing everything I've done). But that was about 2 or 3 years ago, so things could have changed.
