What's really fascinating and amazing is how quickly Tomas Petterson (aka DrPetter) developed this app into a beta that was addictively easy and usable. I recall, before he was hired by Pixologic, in February or so, it had been barely 3-4 months since he had started developing Sculptris. and bang! there it was, just beautiful. He had done some other great code dev before, such as music and synth stuff for audio in games. I kept a short collection as a reference on my site, because even though we like to promote Curvy 3D, this one has us doing the "Hats off to you, brother!". I'm just saying kudos to him for keeping it free. They must have really been scared when they saw his stuff. When I saw it in February I thought, uh oh, there goes zbrush... either they'll hire him or someone else will, they'd better hurry, ... kudos also as they allow him to keep it free, for now anyway. Wowser and thanks DrPetter!
