Recently, I've been looking for an easy way to create icons and some web graphic. I don't consider myself a graphic designer, but I like to experiment with creating some cool graphic, often with not satisfactory results.

The state of the art tool every good designer uses is, of course, Photoshop. But in order to take advantage of its huge power it requires constant usage, knowledge of the hundreds of functions it has - and from my point of view its learning curve is not trivial. I think I know and I am able to use no more than 10% of its power...

A few weeks ago I found a product which suits my needs: creating icons, either 2D and 3D, creating 3D models, render images and much more. The name of this product is RealWorld Icon Editor.

It's available for download the Requirements Management demo application I mentioned a while ago.

This is a demo application I wrote to familiarize with the kind of UI and features I plan to include in the biggest project ActiReq I'm currently working on.

In the latest couple of months I've seen lot of interest in the DotNetNuke SMS module I planned to develop, but later I had to stop its development (although still at a very early stage) because busy on other activities.

Also, I previously started the development of a Requirements Management application (code name ActiReq), which had and still has higher priority.

Due to interest shown on the SMS module, I'm thinking of getting my hands again on it - but I'm afraid that I won't be able to dedicate enough time to release a version in realistic timeframes. If there is anybody interested in partecipating in its development, please let me know, by leaving a message either here or better in the dedicated forum.
