Great! Both, the model and Rich´s "what it is"

Prima!

Great! Hopefully the glass panes are thick enough!

Breathtakingly good!
(I was constantly expecting this stairs rushing down hordes of terrifying creatures like in a scary movie )

what a nice guy!

Klasse!

so horrible these thing (but cool also) - based on the pestilence masks of the medieval doctors with this equally horrible gas mask interference - really so horrible
If I read correctly I wish you a good recovery Box!

...ja, so simple actually but still impressive

...so impressive - thanks for sharing this!

... wunderbar! your help and your great "headache" term explanation and of course the current discount Thanks a lot and everything worked fine!

Thanks Tig !!!!
While you were writing your kind helpanswer to me, I accidentally clicked on the "Manage License" button and another window appeared. Really, I have never encountered the English term "Obtain" before. Anyway, I landed on the page which I was not able to find until now.
Thanks again!

and just in case others fail to buy already like me I´ll add this screenshot

Hi All, hello Fredo
I want to buy the entire package of the Fredo6´s tools which need to be licensed now.
Yes, embarrassing for me but I can't even find out how the purchase process works or where to do it - could someone please have the patience to guide me there?
(is it possible to buy such a "package"-license at all or will it work as a separate license for one specific plugin at a time?)

Bryan, these kind of procedural stories are your brand here and I love them!

so great Rich! - how did you make this great weld detail?!

Hi - yes, your observation is correct and drove me to despair at that time
In fact, texture projection behaves a bit like an old slide projector or beamer. What has worked for the projection of the top face does not work so for the side face.
So you can "set up" your projector again with one (or more) further suitable texture-image projections which you then pick up individually with the material pipette and assign them to the corresponding faces of your model then...
Even if this method seems a bit "dusty" at first sight, it is still my preferred texturing method, as it is sufficient for most texturing tasks, at least for me
(I´ll add a schematic sketch and an example below)

Klasse! and again this great explosion drawing!

klasse! also Alejandro Soriano once chose a headphone which is simply a perfect model choice for SUBDeeing

...klasse! I love this "exploded" SkUp-drawing showing all this used pieces

hi Dale - as I am also dealing with this issue I found a way through trial and error

... then copy and paste the animation details to each of the other three props...

Hi Dave I just can't figure out how this copy-paste procedure works - I find and can click the copy button of any movement but after that I have no idea what and how I have to do next to paste this movement to any other object(s)...

yes, nice!! and your render turned out really wunderbar!
