Thanks for advice Phil--and indeed a 64 bit system....just wondered if there were any newer plugins that folks found very useful that might not have been around in version 12 days--- Rich

Quick question as I am pondering upgrading right now to version 16 from 12 ---what is status of the usable plugins in version 16 compared to what I might have had in 12 . Thanks again for all the advice and help so far guys. Rich

Yes ----smiles ----maybe if a suggested topic or wip or whatever was hinted to be a topic then more folks will get onboard. Certainly if a new TAoAM is done that could be a weekly chapter or chart session for sure and I would hope would get new users to participate in. I think that really makes it easy to participate in...If you have a chat session on advanced rigging topics for instance I for one would probably be lost and even if I joined would probably not say much-----smiles....but if i worked on a chapter of the new TAoAM I would almost certainly have things to say or questions to ask. So for me newbie subject matter makes me more participatory. As a suggestion --since I am and surely other newbies may be interested now in getting to be able to model and texture --It would be helpful to have like a small forum project to model. Then have the new folks try and model it the item and have some of the experts give some pointers or helping hints. Especially focusing on good practices and techniques. Rich

Dizzifying indeed........but so inspiring to know what one can do with skill and effort. Rich

awesome and amazing modeling !! --------kudos indeed! Rich

Wow and more Wow.......very inspiring to see such great detail and care in your work..Amazing!

Rodney-- I think the idea of community chats would be great to boost excitement for AM and help in the learning process and to build an even better community. I support this initiative completely Rich

This was a great little project indeed--fun watching and inspirational for all I am sure. And nothing better to learn by then trying to complete a project with set parameters that force you to come up with solutions . So look forward to seeing a new community project. Have to get learning fast now.
