Looking at this now is way less foreign to me since I have had time to experiment with nodes. I can't believe this was a year ago! We don't hear much from Catharina these days. I was wondering what she is working on recently and how she is. Anybody heard from her? I miss her.

Where else but the 3D world would you pay to acquire a virus? I got Escherichia coli, Girardia, the animal pack (which has a many of the animals that came with Poser; but a couple of animals that I did not have, but they are unrigged and not UV Mapped), a neuron, and nice tutorial on how to "Become a 3D Art Professional". The catch is, it has to be 100 dollar or more value to use the 100 off coupon. It ended up costing me 3 dollars and something, after I used the coupon. I may or may not use this stuff, but it was well worth it to me just to check it all out. And I am sure I can glean some kernel of knowledge from the tutorial, and may end up playing around and rigging or texturing some of the other things. I think it shows an effort on their part to reach out to the hobbyists rather than just educational facilities and medical schools.

We wish Allen a speedy recovery and he is in our thoughts.

Looks great, Jepe!

Same here. I don't mind decoding.

Lyrra, Never can be too much goth! Never too much bloody boring "everyday" either... That's what makes your site great; the variety. Okay, now back to the personal stuff; tell us MORE!! We want the really good, juicy gossip, okay? We won't tell... <>

Don't you worry about it, Steve and Lyrra. We know you will get things fixed when you can. You've been so good to us in the past, providing us with some of the best quality content out there; the least we can do is patiently wait and understand your situation. Thanks for giving us the update.

Thank you!

LOL. I have been asking Steve and Lyrra for something for House Mouse too.

Now, who knew our own Steve Shanks was such a handsome lad? Thanks for the awesome updates.

And thanks for making me realize I am not crazy!

YES! That's it, Hawkfyr. Did Anton Do that? It was a whole image, though. That has been around a loooooong time.

Anton, I remember; and I swear it was you. There was this render....it was Posette (before we called her that) And you had some image with her that bowled me away. You rendered a woman with all these treasures of gold and jewels and she was sitting like on this throne, and I remember a peacock feather or feathers in there somewhere. Am I ringing any bells? Anyway, I was BLOWN AWAY that someone could do a render like that with Poser. Back then realistic textures on a the characters were just not normally used. That was in the EARLY days. But I remember the render was awesome. It was an eon ago. But do you remember? Did she have white or platinum hair like in a beehive? What year would that have been. That was WAY before 1999? Or am I dreaming this? If not, do you still have that image? It would be fun to reminisce...

I got a subscription for Christmas, but I don't get the first one till March. : ( But I already have everything but VY3, so I can't complain.

Awesome image!
