Macs in 3D and Architecture - News around the Web, pg 1 Over the last couple of weeks there has been more news items to cover then time allowed to cover them. In this brief two page article we play some catch-up. Was This A LandMark Article? Last week we were alerted to a feature article on the Macintosh in Architecture Record. Architect Louis B. Smith, AIA, wrote an excellent piece on "How Architects Use the Macintosh in Practice". For those of you who receive the architecture magazine you may have already discovered the article. This article was a landmark piece of writing for the magazine, which hasn't devoted an entire article to the Macintosh platform for well over a decade, if ever. We believe Louis is a frequent Architosh reader as he gathered excellent material on the article from the many prominent members of the AIWUG (architosh International Web Users Group) listings. He also mentioned Architosh first in his list of resources for Mac-based practices (albeit with the MacNN.com Web address versus our own...opps! could that have been a typo?). In any case, kudos to Louis for a well written and hopeful article. Mac 3D Around the Web Late last week Blender for Mac OS X was announced on Maccentral.com. The free 3D software is powerful stuff and runs on many platforms (including UNIX's, Linux and Windows, in addition to Mac OS X). Also in the news was AXELcore and AXELedge, both for Mac OS X and due at MWF. | Bill Gates' House Designed on Macintosh? PowerBook G3's Win at CAD Shootout!
