Useful Thing- HeroMachine This fun program is useful for creating that super hero you've had floating in the back of your mind for the last few years. You know, the one with the odd skin and glowing eyes who could fire bolts of energy from their cosmic weapon. : ) I had a lot of fun using this and I'm sure you will, too. Incidentally, this is a Shockwave program and can be run from the website or downloaded to your hard drive and run locally. Here's the description from the website- "Have you ever been frustrated by an inability to see a character you've imagined? Are you constantly asking (all right, begging ) your "artist friend" for an illustration because you can't draw a straight line with a ruler? Now your frustrations are over! Thanks to the HeroMachine, you can dynamically create your own customized character portrait. With intuitive controls and high-quality illustrations, the HeroMachine offers millions of possible combinations that will bring your imagination alive." The file is 3.35M and can be found here- http://www.heromachine.com/ Program requirements: Windows 9x or better; Windows NT 4x or better; Flash plug-in 5x or better; Netscape navigator 4x and up OR Internet Explorer 4x and up.
