Articles

Nice books on the game industry - Related Quest if you want to develop anything close to a game with it.
Don’t Listen To The Fans - Article why not to listen to your ‘fans’ if you have created a game. That’s right. NOT listen to your fans. Quite a fun read.
Women in Gaming - The hardcore gamers’ worst nightmare. A woman. Playing a game :).
5 Principles For Programming - I think some or all may be applicable to Quest3D too, nice read nonetheless.
Tools
Taskbar Shuffle - Tools that allows you to shuffle the programs open on your taskbar.
Launchy - Another GTD and productivity tool, it reduces the times you have to point in the direction of that strange ’start’ button, instead just type what you need and it will open de appropriate tool, like Quest3D 3.5.
Color palette generator - Create a color palette using an image.
Tutorials
How to Create Professional HDR Images - Do you own a camera that allows you to set exposure manually then you are a few steps from creating your first HDR image with nothing but Photoshop CS2
Resources
The Cloud Appreciation Society - So whaddayouknow there is one. Now we can all be experts on the clouds department. But seriously this is a nice resource if you need to create a sky.
Photoshop Brushes - This site claims to be the “Largest Photoshop Brush Resource Site on The Internet”, they may even be right.
Hopefully this is enough to keep you busy for the weekend!And since we’ve already seen all these cool things you could leave us a reply with some more cool stuff to keep us busy in the weekend.
