Hey Alex - wondered where you'd been hiding. Obviously hard at work. Great work as usual, and always nice to see SU integrated into a production pipeline. Always look forward to your posts. Andy.

I had looked into it, but the materials used for 3D printing tended to be quite fragile/brittle, as far as I could tell. CNC milling from real materials (i.e. aluminium) seemed the way to go, although more expensive. I also couldn't find anyone capable of printing semi-flexible 3D models (i.e. hard rubber), instead of solid resin. Is this because it is impossible? Thanks for the help AJ

Wonderful work. I want to read the book the first one is the cover for.

Ensure you have a 'proper agreement'. Ask for "your money" [politely] NOW ! Point out [politely] that they should you pay within NNN days, from "NOW". Point out [politely] that if they don't pay you "NOW" that they might be subject to 'penalties' [be vague ?]... Since the anonymous 'accounts' are often dealt with by someone who is quite different from the guys you initially had dealings with, then c/c those guys... They might have a conscience ? ... If all else fails appeal to those guys' 'better nature'... if they have one... If 'all else' fails sue them !!! ... We are all in the same s**t ! We can only hope that 'they' see that they can't stop the "wheel going round" and then continue on as they are..... Rant over.

thank you very much for sharing..

I've solved both problems now - please see my other thread for the finished plugin

hmm cannot see the pictures

I agree with anssi, I like SU image... Nice job! Regards

Coen - If I knew how to program html sites , I would probably do that. Unfortunately, I don't have the knowlege, the software or (to be honest) the time to learn it all. Knowing flash was sort of a by-product of doing animated presentations - I learnt flash long before I knew you could also use it as a developer tool. I guess, like everything, it's a trade off - not having to pay a web developer vs. having a flash portfolio. I know it would be better, though, so it's on my long list of things I need to learn Thanks for the feedback! AJ

Thanks for that bit of info Maggi. "If you would place a baby in an ultra clean room directly after birth, it would not be able to digest its food." I alway thought that all of this emphasis on cleanliness, antibiotics and sterilizing everything was getting out of hand.

absolutly beautiful. Wonderful use of SU for massing and beautiful "painting" Great Work!

..exactly - i'd be perfect for the job..
