ADVANCED HOW-TO BOOK: SOFTWARE

Winner “The KPT Bryce Book“

Susan Kitchens

Addison-Wesley Publishing Company

Judges’ Statement:

An excellent software how-to book should be much more than a thorough discussion of a software program or operating system. It should also be well-designed, make good use of typography and color illustrations, and it should have true literary merit. The KPT Bryce Book, by Susan Kitchens, is the complete package. It stood out among a field of strong competitors.

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.
