• Academic Super Store

  So far I have had good dealings with these people and they seem to have some of the best academic version software prices.

• Barb Carlson

  Sci-fi fan and speaker for ferrets.
• Cinema 4D (New link)
  www.cinema4d.com
  My newest favorite in 3D software. Maybe not the most powerful graphics software but I found C4D resonably easy to learn and also at a resonable academic price. They have a tryout version. Check my C4D computer graphics page to see some "dabblings" I have done with it.
• Community College of Beaver County
  www.ccbc.cc.pa.us
  Nice rural college where I teach part-time.

• Dave Dorman
  www.dormanart.com
  Award winning artist. Met him at the Pittsburgh Comicon comic book convention. His artwork is some of my favorite comic book art.
• Form•Z
  www.formz.com/
  This is perhaps the best computer 3D graphic modeling sofware I have ever used. Saddly it is very expensive and they do not offer individual academic pricing. My old version 2.8 is from 1996 and it lacks the render module... Grrrr!
• Nils Hammer

  Long time friend from the Pitt student sci-fi club.
• Linda Park Official Site
  www.lindapark.tv
  Official fan site for Linda Park who plays Ensign Hoshi Sato on Star Trek's new Enterprise series. No, I'm not a fanatic fan, but her performance on the show provided me with a good mental reference for a character in a SF story that I'm writing.

  www.rhino3d.com
  For anyone into 3D computer graphics, this litely advertised software has an extensive reputation. It has a great academic price too. Look up its ultra-photo-realistic render engine plug-in Flamingo, and new cartoon/sketch render plug-in Penguin.
• Rock-n-Roll StarShip II

  Independant movie that I did a little bit of computer graphics work on. Hopefully I will be listed in the credits.
