Alternative to Acrobat Professional!

Well, I've been looking for a pdf editor to do a fairly simple task: Just adding small text elements and rotate them in various degrees. To do this it's waste of money to pay more than 600€ for Acrobat Professional.
After testing almost every pdf editor tool in the world wide web I was so relieved to finally find Infix PDF editor! It's beautifully designed, intuitive to use and (!!!) there are shortcuts! I love using shortcuts and just pressing "t" vor text tool, "r" for rotate and "v" for placing your objects - wonderful!!
You should really try this. Apart from my simple task, Infix is a extremely powerful tool with hundrets of features - and it comes in three versions (free version, standard and professional), so there should be one version that fits best to you!

Pig papercraft

Hello Folks,
couple of months ago I created a papercraft model, this little piggy!

Here at the Filmakademie we have this fancy new 3D printer, so I also printed it from my original 3D model. Have a look.

If you want this sweet always good-tempered piggy too, you can build it yourself! I offer it here at Dawanda or just write me a message and I send you the pdf (for a few $ or €) so you could print it out and start cutting and glueing :-)

Schniebelschnee

I just invented this word. It's when snow is falling in quite small flocks. You could say "Its schniebeling" :-)
It could also be a mix between snowing and raining.

Because Google does not return any results I want to post this beautiful word here and wait how long it takes google to find it.

Cheers Wolf

[edit] Almost immediately this article could be found in google. Maybe it's because blogspot.com belongs to google?

Drawn Animation Test - Cat Walk

08.Jul.2008
Finally I did a short drawn animation. Done in TV Paint which proved to be a very good program for me.
On this walk cycle I tested how the bouncing ball principle works with walk cycle. I chose a quadrupled creature with three bouncing balls (Head, shoulders, hip) and the wave principle in the tail.
