A plurality of artifacts, in a plurality of repositories, are maintained under revision control. A plurality of artifact tuples, in another repository, are maintained under revision control. At least one first artifact tuple comprise first information providing access to at least one of the artifacts. At least one second artifact tuple comprises second information providing access to at least one other artifact tuple. Each of the artifact tuples are associated with at least one of a plurality of product development processes. An apparatus comprises a plurality of repositories, each maintaining under revision control a plurality of artifacts and another repository that maintains under revision control a plurality of artifact tuples. A workflow process is adapted to allow users to associate each of the artifact tuples with at least one of a plurality of product development processes.

Techniques supporting collaborative product development

Disclosed are an image editing user interface system and method. The system includes one or more computers with one or more graphical user interfaces, and a receiving process for receiving one or more rendered two dimensional images on the computer graphical user interface. Each two dimensional image represents reflected light from a lit three dimensional object model, and the reflective light at each point of the two dimensional image corresponds to an object point on the three dimensional object model. The system further includes a changing process for changing a portion of the two dimensional image by changing the light intensity at a set of one or more points on the two dimensional image. The change in light intensity at the set of points causes a change in the three dimensional model to correspond to the change in the light intensity.
