SnagIt 11.4.3.280

SnagIt 11.4.3.280Download SnagIt 11.4.3.280, an advanced screen capturing program that allows you much more freedom that ou can get with other software solutions such as Print-Key and MS Paint.

With it, you can capture not only entire surface of your display, but focus on specific window, custom region, or even an scrolling area. You can even edit your captured pictures by annotating, coloring, framing, cutting resizing, image combining and many more advanced effects such as perspective changing, shadows, page curl, and more.

Everything that you capture and edit can be instantly saved to your hard drive, or with a click of a button shared on the internet (email, FPT) and its popular social networks (Facebook, Twitter, Youtube). As an added bonus, you can combine the power of SnagIt with other popular information gathering tools such as MindManager and Evernote.

What's New in Snagit:

Record Screen Video
Don’t confuse your audience by trying to explain a complex idea with only words. Show them with video! Create screen videos for demos or quick reviews, and share them with anyone, anywhere. Plus, Snagit now records system audio, so you’ll be able to capture sound from your computer during a recording, like a YouTube video, easily.

Centered Canvas and More Zoom Options
When your capture pops up in the Snagit editor, the canvas now automatically creates a border around your image, giving you plenty of room to add annotations, arrows, and other effects. And with more zoom proportions, you’ll be able to edit your images to the exact size you need.

Easier Resizing and Paste from Clipboard
Whether you resize by pixels, inches, centimeters, or percentage, it’s easier than ever to edit the size of your capture. Simply copy and paste from within Snagit, and the canvas will automatically resize to the right size for your capture.

Spell Check
Never misspell a word in your screenshot again. Snagit will tell you what you’ve spelled wrong and help you make callouts without any mistakes.

Efficiently share your images and videos
Save, share, or send your image and video captures to anyone with a variety of outputs. Easily send your image captures to the usual lot, or now share to Facebook, Twitter, and Evernote too. When you’re done recording or capturing a screen video, you can choose to send your video to Camtasia Studio for editing or Screencast.com, YouTube, FTP, Facebook, or Twitter for easy sharing.

- The plugins directory on the Mac has moved to ~/Library/Application Support/SketchUp 2013/SketchUp. We no longer install anything into the Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/SketchUp directory.
# SketchUp Toolbars (Windows only):
- Toolbars now stay put and you can customize toolbars containing non-Ruby tool icons!
- The SketchUp 8 “Save toolbar positions” menu choice has been removed as it is no longer needed - toolbar settings are saved when exiting SketchUp.
- View > Toolbars shows just one menu choice now. Customization of toolbars has been moved to one dialog.
- SketchUp 2013 does not have the ability to create 2 column vertical toolbars (a limitation of the libraries we used as the basis of our new toolbars). If you want to create a setup similar to what is in SketchUp 8, you can either create a few new custom toolbars, docking them side by side to create 2 columns, or you can dock some of our smaller toolbars side by side.
- To customize non-Ruby toolbars, bring up the View > Toolbars dialog. You can move an icon from one toolbar to another by dragging it or pressing the Alt key. Holding down the Ctrl key allows you to copy an icon. Right clicking on a toolbar gives you some additional functionality.
# LayOut:
- General
> Changes were made to improve overall performance with LayOut.
> Shapes can now be filled with image-based patterns in addition to solid colors. This is called Pattern Fill.
> LayOut now has the ability to create multi-copy arrays, similar to the way SketchUp works.
> Text leader lines can now be curved.
> Users can now zoom in to a document up to 10,000%.
> To better reflect standards, dimensions now have dashes to separate feet from inches.

Blender 2.67a (32-bit)

Blender 2.67a (32-bit)Download Blender 2.67a (32-bit), an extremely powerful, cross-platform 3D graphic tool. It comes with multitude of powerful features for editing, rendering, 3d modeling, animation, and playback. Discover the wide toolset available in Blender, defining a complete pipeline (from modeling to sequence editing) controlled by a flexible and consistent user interface.

Blender Main Features:

Game engine
The game engine is fully integrated with the shading and rigging system, it features a very powerful visual logic programing system, python scripting capabilities, bullet physics and state of the art graphics.

Render baking
Blender's render pipeline supports rendering to UV texturemaps; ambient occlusion, normals, displacement, color, shadows and full render can be baked.

Map UV and ID Mask
Mesh objects with UV co-ordinates can be saved in a render pass, and used in the Compositor as input to remap textures. ID Mask node converts a number from an Object Index pass to an anti-aliased alpha mask.

Vertex Color Node
For node materials, the Geometry node contains a Vertex Color name field to access non active vertex color layers.

Sculpt Mode
Sculpt is a mode for editing Mesh objects. Unlike Edit Mode, the model's shape is manipulated with various brushes, rather than by editing individual vertices, edges, and faces.

Imaging
Advanced Imaging system featuring MultiLayer image read/write integrated in all editors and Flipbook playback for compositing, sequences or movie files.

3D object
Supports numerous 3D object formats including meatballs, vector fonts, polygon meshes, and more

* The stroke system and brush texture access has been unified and as a result there are many more tools now shared across paint modes.
# Motion Tracker
* Camera and object motion solver motion are much more accurate and faster because the Ceres library is used now for the bundle adjustment step. In addition the tripod solver is finally fixed and has become usable for longer footage.
# Compositing
* Added border for compositor viewer node, which restricts what is to be composited for faster previews. Also border rendering and cropping are finally working as expected.
# 3D Printing
* An addon to help with 3d printing is now bundled as well as a new ruler tool and mesh-analysis display attributes such as thickness, sharp-areas and distortion.
# Node Editor
* Node Groups editing is less cluttered and more consistent with other nodes. Multiple node editor windows can be used independently.
# Cycles Render
* A Subsurface Scattering shader is now available, to create materials such as Wax, Marble or Skin.
# Python Nodes
* The API now supports custom node types. Nodes can be defined and registered in python scripts like other UI classes.
# Tools
* New mesh modeling tools: Individual Face Inset, Poke Face and Knife Project. Faster image display in the image and movie clip editors. Better support for UTF-8 text in the text and console editors, and various improvements to other editors.
# Addons
* New addons are the node efficiency tools and VRML2 export.
# Bug fixes

Blender 2.67 (64-bit)

Blender 2.67 (64-bit)Download Blender 2.67 (64-bit), an extremely powerful, cross-platform 3D graphic tool. It comes with multitude of powerful features for editing, rendering, 3d modeling, animation, and playback. Discover the wide toolset available in Blender, defining a complete pipeline (from modeling to sequence editing) controlled by a flexible and consistent user interface.

Blender Main Features:

Game engine
The game engine is fully integrated with the shading and rigging system, it features a very powerful visual logic programing system, python scripting capabilities, bullet physics and state of the art graphics.

Render baking
Blender's render pipeline supports rendering to UV texturemaps; ambient occlusion, normals, displacement, color, shadows and full render can be baked.

Map UV and ID Mask
Mesh objects with UV co-ordinates can be saved in a render pass, and used in the Compositor as input to remap textures. ID Mask node converts a number from an Object Index pass to an anti-aliased alpha mask.

Vertex Color Node
For node materials, the Geometry node contains a Vertex Color name field to access non active vertex color layers.

Sculpt Mode
Sculpt is a mode for editing Mesh objects. Unlike Edit Mode, the model's shape is manipulated with various brushes, rather than by editing individual vertices, edges, and faces.

Imaging
Advanced Imaging system featuring MultiLayer image read/write integrated in all editors and Flipbook playback for compositing, sequences or movie files.

3D object
Supports numerous 3D object formats including meatballs, vector fonts, polygon meshes, and more
