-right re subs and software (and hardware too)...  14k sheesh! 

It's a good idea to somehow become a merchant and sell something, or at least try to, and that way everything becomes a tax write off I guess :p

I have to say, it's a great way to storyboard and do animations, to have unlimited creativity.

But I'm very very surprised, in all my exploring all the forums etc out there, that nobody seems to have a repository of pz3 scene files, nor bzh animations, nor anything else beyond the components/parts/chars/props.

Wouldn't folks want to share their scene files and animation files?  That's what I'd like to suggest we all do, somehow... eg "this scene requires (list of characters etc)", download the .pz3 here ...

make sense?

hmm well back on topic, others want to vote on $ spent on characters?  this is interesting to read... I really like the entire idea... and agree w/point that this is a friendly forum, which is a nice change from many out there..
