So what exactly is a handynummer??? I do believe I have watched the first one over a hundred times and shown it to at least 20 people. I cannot wait to see the new one. I hope I don't have to give away my handynummer though??? Wade

I had to show my two year old how to hit the space bar to start it again....and again...and again....all night. Sadly, I actually did not get tired of hearing it over and over. Too funny. Wade

HOLY CRAP!!! or as my son (who is addicted to online games) would say...OMFG!!! Nuff said, Wade

I have been to the tut several times in the past but could not find it this time. Glad to see the update and thanks for a great resource. Wade

Thanks for the link to Parlo's model. I will download it to see. I am not concerned with extreme closeups so the 5 pointers might not be a problem for me. I would still like to see yours if you still have it. I think you might just be getting to work around now and I have been at work now since about 3:00 your time. For some reason my search for 'screw' and any date any forum did not turn up that link. I guess searches do not automatically look in the archive. Good for future reference. Thanks again, Wade

Phillip would you be willing to share that screw model. Sadly making a screw has escaped me for the last 2 hours and I am loath to spend any more time on it knowing that you have such a great model just waiting to be used. I actually only need the head of the screw but the whole thing is just so nice. Oh and I need the slotted one. That is why I cannot just use the Phillips Head and attempts to modify that one revealed some bad extrusions (extra layers of extruded splines that make mods a headache) so I gave up on that. Please, please, please, Thanks Wade

Couple of things. I gave Heath a hard time about not updating the trips so now maybe he will get them caught up. Although I suspect he will just ignore me. Don't ever go looking for strip clubs in downtown Atlanta. I am holding some pictures of James and Heath for ransom. I expect my copy of version 12 in the mail any day. I did this whole post with the new web browser on my PSP. Am I a huge geek or what? Oh yeah one more thing...Jewel Staite aka Kaylee on Firefly is a goddess! Wade

The last event listed on the Trips was in March. I suspect they are just not updating that list. Wade

Sweet. I hope everyone can get there. Will has said that he might go as well but no commitment yet. I will be there for the whole weekend hoping to suck James into another room party. You would have to ask him for details. As an aside, the entire cast of Firefly is going to be there this year so I am actually looking forward to the autograph room this year. Normally I only go down there to check out the centerfolds of yesteryear that are desperate enough for cash that they will trot out some pics of themselves from 30 years ago and sign autographs for scary guys dressed up as klingons. Too much fun. Wade

Dragoncon is right around the corner. Who's going???

I will be very close to you guys but in Cartersville for my brother's wedding. maybe next time. Wade

Has a great anime look to it in the toon render shot. I like it a lot. Wade

That blown up shot looks great, but please, please, please color the mirrors and roof the same color. Standard Cooper color scheme is body color all the way around or all white roof and mirrors or all black roof and mirrors. I hate to be stuck on this point but it is killing me. Wade

Is it possible to import the Gala model complete and just hide the portion you don't want. then the lip sync would still work right??? Wade

I can't answer your question. I just wanted to comment on how great that model looks. Wade

Holy crap!!! I watched all of the animations on your site. They are great. I think my favorite is the sneaking one. Forl not using facial expressions, the way you use body motion to express emotion is fantastic. I am so far away from anything even remotely close to that level of skill. I am very impressed, Wade

Hey Melissa, I don't know if you caught my post in the New User's forum. To paraphrase, we just had a meeting on Saturday in Atlanta and ironically Will Sutton himself was there. Check out the User Groups forum and Go here for a little more detail. But what you are asking for is a link to Will's UV Editor Tutorial Have fun and great job for a first, Wade

Will, i will call you tomorrow. I have quite a few PDF books that I got from a programmer friend. Even if you are not making your own game engine, some of the info is great from a design standpoint. I will pick out the best and most appropriate and burn them for you. Makes for some good brain ache reading while the wife is watching Desperate Housewives or whatever. Man am I glad my wife doesn't watch that show. Wade

I'm in! Will, I believe I have your phone number in an email somewhere, I will give you a call this weekend or early next week. We should ride together. If my car is not in the shop getting my road gator damage fixed, we can cruise in the Mini. If it is in the shop my other option is a piece of crap 95' Ford Ranger (this is ultimately my son's car if he would ever make a decent grade, he turns 17 today, my wife will not let me have her Sorento). So if that is the case, you can drive. Wade

Looks fantastic!!! Yes it counts. Would the 'blade' cast a shadow? Wade

It looks awesome! But I agree that hte spline count looks WAY heavy. If you model the rest of him with that kind of splining I think you are gonna be in a bit of trouble. Wade

One More:

Mine:

David, can I send mine to you and let you texture it for me? Those are sweet! Or should I send them to Wegg

That's fun. I was just posting on my sword thread how I probably should have bumped the handle of the hilt and then I look at your and it is almost identical. Good work! I like it. Wade
