Nice. I also like the "Everybody Talk" for the contract.

...and thank you for the bug report. Are you going to continue to work on the bugs and make fixes available to the purchasers?

Bloodsong, In my humble opinion Zygote should offer a refund for their dragon :) Your work is amazing - Robin had told me, but wow - seeing is beleiving. Expect an order from me as soon as I can scrape the money together (mac and cheese time, here we come!) One question - aside from the 'magic square' items - what's the uvmapping on the rest of the bits? And would you like some texture maps made? :) Love the white dragon in the gallery.

heyas; wynter; you can see i fixed some small things, but not everything. been kinda taking it easy. gotta get off my butt and re-do the snake head jaw spiky front morph. the croc head membrane and reptile eyelid weirdness are gonna be harder. first, i gotta figure out what their problems actually are :/ keep bugging me, and i'll be sure to slate some time for that. :) lyrra: the other items have custom uvmapping. most of the props are flat-mapped front and back. the body parts have more involved mapping. you can download some of the templates to look at, there on the no-bs page. i'm not sure the maps are done the best way, but i tried. it's such a toss up between getting undistorted maps and un-overlapping maps. :/ i think the dragons need some basic bump maps to paint over, but not colour maps. if i were better at bump maps, i'd'a made some by now. maybe i'll post scar's bump map.

Wow, its done. It looks amazingly cool, and I placed my order as soon as I saw this posting. I'm not sure I can even imagine the amount of work required to pull this off, it boggles the imagination.

thanks, geek. :) sometimes i wonder how long it would've taken me, if i were a team of people ;) (but coordinating everything would be a huge pain!!)
