Contributions from Richard mostly, and Tracy only rarely . Albert unfortunately, is no longer with us to type his thoughts - however as most of them were unprintable, it's probably better that he can't type them.
BIO
Richard's a Mechanical Engineer specialising in Stress Analysis. Due to the poor state of Finite Element Modellers he's spent a fair bit of time writing translators to enable packages like Poser, Studio, Truspace etc to act as modellers for mechanical products. Why not use CAD.. Because the file formats are too complex! Tracy is a Library assistant in Europe's largest learning resource centre (University library & computer department to most!). We used to have a character cat called Albert. He features in a picture or two.
Richard occasionally makes a few freebies which he distributes with the aide of Renderosity, mostly as a way of saying 'Thank you' for the help he's been given over the years by other members of the community. Though, making these items does also act as an outlet for a need to create that is occasionally stifled by the paperwork associated with his job.

May I offer a little prop of a toy I made for my daughter's birthdays when they were young. It is a little balloon hovercraft. The balloon is blown up through the little hole on the underside, then you put it on a floor or hard surface and it then scoots around on a cushion of air when you knock it. It stops when the balloon goes down.
It turns out it was much more fun for the adults who came to the parties than 3yo kids!
There are 3 morphs, Shrink (of the balloon as air goes out), and balloon bend or side-side to simulate inertia as you knock the balloon. The model is texture mapped, but no textures are used.
In reality it's a cheap & fun toy to make if you have a lathe and a few spare CD's (use the lathe to knock up a coupler to glue to the CD and interface with the baloon). Definitely something the kids will never have come across before.

Thank you. Just a fun toy. The room, dining table, crockery, cutlery & chairs are all Ness Period Reproductions Regency Dining Poser sets updated to DS, and the remainder of the furnishings are LaurieS Victorian Furnishings. I thought the juxtaposition of antique furnishings, serious ancestral portraits with a couple of obviously modern adults behaving like children was fun.
