Ugh. I certainly don't want to make this project (or this thread) about me, but since Luxpose progress is obviously of interest to the community, I have to relate some news that affects it. Rather dramatically.

My paid work over the last six months has been outstandingly busy and I have been working very hard - so hard that at times I was rather sick from lack of sleep. Most of the work was for one company. That company just informed me a couple days ago that they can't afford to keep me involved as before and they are terminating my contract at the end of the month. Coincidentally, the other two projects also end Dec 31.

Which means that my currently identifiable work/income is absolutely zero starting January 1. Needless to say, I and my family are pretty much freaked out at the moment, especially with Christmas just a few weeks away and my daughter's next term of tuition due January 1. Ow ow ow.

Please don't anybody take this as looking for sympathy - I'm just telling you guys honestly what is going on with me, so you won't think I'm too much of a jerk not working on Luxpose. While I'm still under contract, I need to cram as many billable hours into this month as I can. I had actually hoped to take most of December off and get the Luxpose material editor published. That is no longer my plan. I hope you'll understand and bear with me until I get my personal house in order again. I already have made some progress toward acquiring new work for January and while it's not a deal yet, I have high hopes that it will close.

Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
