| 10-27-11 / 11:57 PM : AppCode : lite Cocoa/iOS editor (cjed) |
| JetBrains, now the editor of famous IntelliJ IDEA, presents AppCode, an Objective-C editor that manages MacOSX and iOS targets. It requires XCode (notably to edit Nib archives through Interface Builder, now part of XCode since version 4) and uses Google Protocols Buffers technology to launch iOS Simulator (as it isn't available on Windows, AppCode can't be cross-platform). Among first reviews (see here and there) some problems are reported with files/imports, however auto-completion seems more powerful than the one in XCode, and the interface looks closer to Eclipse one (and simplier than XCode one), despite being less Cocoa compliant then (see AppCode UI overview). As for IDEA the solution isn't free (131 euros for a commercial license, 61 euros for a personal license), however its quality and support level, and its lite interface that allows faster acceptance for developers used to Eclipse, may be interesting. A mac will always be required however. A demo version (30 days trial) is available. |

| 06-02-11 / 07:20 PM : Pixelmator / Acorn / GraphicConverter (cjed) |
| Pixelmator is available for 29,99$ at the Mac Appstore, and the update to version 2, expected this summer, will be free (it may bring support for vector graphics). We can also find Acorn 3 (49,99$), that still manages vector graphics and provides a brush editor. A comparative review (that also includes Photoline) is available here. Finally Graphic Converter 7, a new Cocoa version, is available (priced 34,95 euros), however it does not manage layers. |

| 05-30-11 / 05:19 PM : LumentRT Review for SketchUp available (cjed) |
| E-on Software presented LumentRT Review for SketchUp, a plugin for SketchUp (free or Pro) that allows to navigate through a scene (with better quality- textures and lighting - and in realtime) after some initial processing step (a few dozens of minutes). We can watch videos here and download LiveCubes (pre-processed scenes as standalone applications). It however requires a 512 Mb graphics card (does not work on a mac mini). It is available at a reduced price (195$ instead 295$). |

| 05-22-11 / 01:29 AM : Bryce 7 PLE / 6.3 update (cjed) |
| A free and full featured (no watermark nor size restriction) version of Bryce 7 is available (for personal use only). We can also download a Bryce 6.3 update from the online account (click on reset on the Bryce 6.1 element, and a new link will appear a few hours later). Samples scenes from Bryce 6.1 aren't however provided with the update. Bryce 7 Pro brings textures animating, lighting enhancements, particles and Instancing Lab (similar to Vue 9's Ecosystem). It was provided recently at a reduced price. We can also find free Poser models. Many users however reported that Bryce memory use increased a lot since Bryce 5.5. |
