A visit to Corel in Ottawa

July 26, 2001 in Uncategorized

I did go to visit the Corel folks in Ottawa a month ago, to teach an advanced Bryce seminar to various Corellians. [see description and pictures on my weblog.] One interesting observation about Ottawa: it’s flat. No mountains anywhere nearby. Kinda strange after Bryce has been developed (well, okay, apart from Paris, France) near the Santa Monica mountains and the Santa Ynez mountains. Developers can go outside and see mountain terrain. Not so in Ottawa. It’s very green, though. No wonder they came up with a tree lab! ;)

About this site

Formerly “All Things Bryce” this site is home to the professional consulting business of Susan A. Kitchens, AuntiAlias & Associates.

What is AuntiAlias, anyhow?

AuntiAlias is a pun on the word antialias. In computer graphics, anti-aliasing is the process of adding what seems to be blurry in-between pixels to smooth the image so it won't appear so "jaggy." The pun came about in the early days of Bryce, the 3D landscape software. Bryce's final rendering pass is anti-aliasing. On the software's support boards, I'd sign my posts as "Auntie Alias." I thought, "Hey, I'll make that into a screen name!" The 10-character limit resulted in this spelling you see here: auntialias.
