I hope the authors will make a generous donation to the ODE developers, since they have made most of the work by creating the physics engine.

Take a PayPal account, many hosts accept it and funding is relatively easy.

Thank you all for the tips and comments. They have been very helpfull. I hope I can release a free version soon.

53s overclocked to 1.1GHz.

69 seconds in Athlon 1.0GHz.

How about making one standard scene to the freebies section - and start collecting information. Someone, who is familiar with PHP (or whatever those form prosessing scripts are) could do a webpage to collect information about rendering times as a table. I could do it, but I would have to do it by hand.

The lights are greyish - but the skin color is light too, because it leaves more room to play with skin color. The high resolution version with bump is going to be in the marketplace (I'm unemployed)but I'll release a lower resolution version as a freebie. Do you think 10$ is okay? I'm planning to do a couple of custom (bump)maps for different facial expressions too. The eyes are a mix of highlight, reflection and transparency - I'm still not satisfied with them, but this seems to be the best I can do.

Anyone know how Athlon performs? The FPU should be much faster than on P4.

I could recommend Graphire 2. It is so much cheaper and still high quality, if you are not a professional. It is propably the best thing I've ever buyed. I have no experiences with the intuos series though.

Well, I got hooked up with "The Wheel of Time" fantasy books and Tuath'an means one of the traveling people. They are people who follow "the way of the leaf" harming no-one signing and dancing while the world is going mad around them. They are on a kind of a neverending quest to find "the forgotten song should brings harmony back to the world". (Blush)

Hi! The graphire mouse (which I don't like very much) has a big metal cylinder inside it - just to give it more weight. I found the mouse... eh... less unconfortable without it. It is really easy to remove (and reattach if you decide to do so)

She is great - Thanks!

I actually added some color to the eyewhites before the suggestion ;) but the eyelashes are short on purpose. Although the camera angle in the picture above makes them look shorter than they really are. For the upper lip I agree. I've been experimenting with them, but I just can't seem to get them right. I guess i'll have to find a good closeup picture of lips and see what makes them "natural". Thank you for the comments.

Great site, Thanks!
