Hi again. Thanx for putting some thought into that Linda! You gave me some things to think about. I'm in the process of creating some "art work" based on Vlad and Loiosh, and possibly Loiosh and his mother before he hatched. I figured if anyone on the planet would be insterested in my work in progress, it would be you fine people, so I've posted some of the material in it's current state. I've found that getting reactions from people half way through can motivate me to finish! This is a working model of Loiosh in a real-time 3d engine. You'll need a decent computer to be able to rotate around it smoothly. It also requires Shockwave to view. (if you are prompted to install Shockwave when you try to view it, make sure you uncheck the yahoo toolbar that tries to install with it!) http://www.stuffycorporatedesign.com/misc/loishviewer.htm I realize that most people aren't power users like myself, so I took a "snap shot" in case you don't have the capability (or desire) to view the actual project from the link above: http://www.stuffycorporatedesign.com/misc/loiosh.jpg His textures still need work, but it's getting close. The animation, such as it is, is an authoring pose that exists only to test Loiosh's 3d mesh. I'll be doing a 5 second or so animation in the next few days to put the model through it's paces and make sure he moves ok. I'm really excited about how cool this will look once I'm done with Vlad (end of week most likely)! Wish me luck, and thanx again for the feedback. -Paul- _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!
