Very usefull windows utilities

There's a massive amount of software out here for windows. usually it's cluttered with about 50 apps that do the same exact thing. Take WinZip for instance. Why in the world would a home user buy WinZip when they could get identical functionality out of tugzip?

There are the occasional few utilities that make one step back and think "wow, why didn't anyone else do this?"

One these apps is called resize enabler. It's available from www.digitallis.co.uk.What it does is simply allow any window to be resized and when you resize, elements on the page resize in real time along with it. Ever get a dialog you can't quite see it all? use this. How about an old windows program with a open/save dialog you can't resize? Use this.

Another one that deserves mention is Windows enabler. That's available from Steven's home page. This one is a real life saver. What it does is simply enable any grayed out control in windows. Have a program with some options grayed out? Simply use this program. The recently released gold version of windows desktop search has a bug that some options are grayed out and it complains that the desktop search is not loaded. You can't change many options. Using windows enabler you can use those grayed out options. Came in quite useful

Bryce 5.5

I got a Chance to play with the new Bryce 5.5 that Daz3D put out.

It's quite a bit faster in rendering then before. That alone is worth the upgrade

There's also a new feature. Full integration with Daz Studio, meaning you can finally import poser figure without any hassle. you can even edit the figures after they have been imported. That's a life saver. It was always a royal pain to get poser figures imported correctly, this does all the work.

Even includes the ability to show an openGL preview of your scene while you are working in it :)
