Well netrender is killing me. I sat there and watch it endlessly. It is addictive! Here are a couple of shots of the progress. Robert and Paul I may be a couple of days late. It states I have another 36 hours to render with 32 cores. I still have to add 4 more machines to netrender Steve

Great use of splines, quoting Gene, Awesome. Steve

This topic is great. I emailed Mark a couple of weeks ago and wass saying my next thing to learn was treez. Keep it up this is helping Steve

Thanks Guys Once the forum project ends She will have a part in thenext animation. Steve

Good looking hair

Dont give up on the rig. It goes faster each time. Steve

Mark is correct when it comes how close the geometery is to each other. After testing and testing I have found places such as noses, lips, ears, fingers, etc can be troublesome for sss. But Mark great job the look is wonderful. Steve

It is hard to believe I finished the basic shape over a year ago. Decided to start rigging her two weeks ago and the 2008 rig was in pretty fast. Mark helped with the skirt. Now I have to work on the hair and shoulder rigging. That is the hardest area. Ok back to rear window Steve

Happy Birthday and welcome aboard! Steve

Very nice Jody Love to the setup on how you created the hole and routered area Steve

Robert Metal roofs are making their way back into our areas. Living in Tulsa and being a claims adjuster I see more and more metal. The critical component of metal roofing, in my opinion, is the backing. Wether it is foam or other products make sure there is a good underlayment that way the metal lays flat. As far as damagability of metal it will withstand against the smaller hail. The size of hail that hit your house, well there is not much products on the market would have made it through. Steve

Ouch!! Glad you are on the way to recovery. Lovely concepts Rodney, give us more! Steve

I agree with you Nancy! I have been in a funk for a while. I have been working with Chris Dailey on the rear window project and it has helped get things going again, but it wasn't until I was in the mountains of New Mexico on a road trip out to California did things seem to go "aha". All of sudden I got excited about all the projects we are working on! Something cleared and I can not tell you what. But I found that the second half of the trip I was wanting to get back and start up again. Mark, sorry to hear about your brother as well. Steve

Very nice! Excellent example! Steve

Happy Birthday John!

Mark I like this one! This is my favorite look, pose. Very nice

Happy Birthday Paul!! Steve

Happy Birthday! Steve

Awesome Nancy. Looking forward to the interaction with Lothario and the new characters.

Thanks David. The reason I ask, the should looks good. I think the shoulder area with all the dynamics there is a hard area to model. I have concentrated on the last models to do a better job in the shoulder. Anyway, keep up the good work Steve

Hi David looks great! In the shoulder area, how well does the mesh work when you roll the shoulder to wave for example? Steve

I am very sad to hear this news. Paul has helped me several times by his posts on the forum or through email. He will be missed. Steve
