  1. I'd explore the "need" before going full on production.

     

    Ok so maybe every one is not as efficient as you are. But based on the national Christmas Tree Association over the past 5 years their have been on average 25,000,000 live trees sold in the US. If I sell to just 1%, well you do the math.

     

    I've always taken the stance "nothing ventured nothing gained". Or you could think about this way, there were other 3D programs on the market when Martin started Hash, he just had his vision of how it should be made. The WaterPixie is my vision on the most practical and aesthetically pleasing way to water your christmas tree.

     

    One other point I'd like to make is my target audience is women as opposed to men.

  2. Way to go!

     

    One concern though... has this passed health and safety tests for consumer products? It is just the idea of having lots of people pouring water into the reservoir of the "WaterPixie" when it is suspended above Christmas lights. Perhaps some careful words of guidance would be enough.

     

     

    Thanks for the comments. Because it a complete "kit" the instructions on the back of package explains how to put it on the tree to only fill one cup of water every 1 to 2 days. The national Christmas tree association has tested and found on average a 6-8 ft tree will absorbe 1 to 2 cups of water per day. Disclaimers will also be in place.

  3. Just wanted to show off some examples of hoe I use AM for product design and prototyping.

     

    Bell1.jpg is a product called "The WaterPixie" (patent pending) that I have created a Rapid Prototype of see waterpixie_Open.jpg

     

    The WaterPixie is an ornament you use to water your christmas tree with. No more crawling under the tree. HA!

    Any way production will be happening end of 09 - 10 for sale in stores christmas 2010.

  4. Latest info I received yesterday

     

    Yes, we will be designating both versions, PC and Mac, as freeware. Please check our site (www.anzovinstore.com). In a day or two, we should have both links up.

  5. Remember, too, that you can use Boot Camp to partition your drive and install Windows. You can also buy Parallels (or VMware's Fusion) and run Windows without having to restart.

     

     

    Have you had a chance to compare the rendering speed Mac vs PC. I wonder which will be more efficient.
