Thanks Silver, the fact that I still remember it and the fact that I've just remembered that it was on the CD that my original version of Bryce came on does make me think that I wouoldn't be adverse to doing some animating for nothing provided: a) the subject matter interested me; b) I could work more or less at my own pace (I'd probably need a gentle bollicking from time to time); and c) the project had the backing of someone like Curious (I hadn't realised that Meta had backed the Planetary Traveller one). I can see the point of having a director and continuity might be a problem. If the project was going to get true kudos then yes I'd invest some time, but not 4 - 8 hours a day, I have my own projects too.....
