Guilty as charged, doing music and graphics as long as I do coding. I am pushing becoming a pro digital painter in the next 3-5 years. I have been to an art school last year, but I prefer learning alone. Goubier Thierry wrote > Not me. > > I'm often not impressed by the tools used by graphics designers.

The challanges that GUIs have to face are just pure insane, the level of complexity just overwhelming because of thousands of features that constantly are dependent on each other. To be put it short, 3d apps are GUI coder worst nightmare. 3d app are for very hard to use for users , power users , coders , amateur artists , traditional pro artist. They don't care about any of them. They focus on a single group , 3d artists. This is why you will rarely find any serious 3d app sacrificing complexity of the gui for luring in other groups. They are nuclear weapons meant to be used by people that have high depends and want to do million different things with them. The only exception is Scetchup. But even that is not used by 3d artists as much as regular users. Blender belongs to the mediocre examples of GUI design for 3d app, best implementation by far being Softimage XSI. That program is a seminar how very complex GUIs should be done. Music apps also have the tendency of large complexity with very solid GUI Designs, an example is Ableton Live. -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/default-monospaced-code-font-tp4714433p4714547.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Developers mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
