@bryan k said: Excellent as always! Cheers Bryan!

@boofredlay said: 8-) Nice work and I really like the Christmas tree on the right. I have a star like that... maybe I make one for real. Thank you, it was a RAM hungry scene because of all the displacement but it turned out well That Christmas tree is cool, right?!

@pbacot said: Thanks for sharing. Congratulations on the article. You're welcome and thank you

It's not as hard as you think... All the plugs match each other. You can't plug the wrong thing into the wrong thing. There are detailed instructions with every part. If you have the ability to make a rendering program do what you can make it do... I have no doubt you can build a computer.

@cadmunkey said: Great video, just the right length too imo. Thanks A minute is definitely long enough I think.

@omikron said: Wow, that's an impressive imitation of real life scene. Thanks

@mike amos said: Very well done, ma'am. A pat on the back and an extra sandwich with lunch, at the very least. Thanks, Mike! Still hugging myself

@olishea said: good stuff, only crit is everything seems a bit "floaty" like nothing actually touches the floor....can you bump up AO or something? Whilst there are shadows, I see your point - at this stage, the simple answer to that is no! lol I don't want to upset the image with noise etc. You know how tricky it can be to get the right balance. To be honest, it is a brightly lit room, with a light floor.

@rich o brien said: 'I don't beleeeeeve it' Victor Meldrew I love it though. nice! Haha, that was an uncanny impersonation! Cheers!

@bryan k said: Impressive! Looks like a lot of work as well. Thanks Bryan, it takes a little bit of time, yes! I use a combination of Photoshop and After Affects, sometimes I have to create the transitions frame by frame but I enjoy the creative outlet

@marked001 said: very nice. i'm slacking on my holiday card this year since I decided to email instead of snail mail them.. need to knock it out this weekend. Thank you! I used MailChimp to send out my Christmas card to all of my clients. Worked a treat

@anton_s said: I like the various animation effects! Such a professional work. Thank you so much for your positive feedback

@hellnbak said: Really nice work! Those are colors I might have chosen for my own home. Needs a big ashtray on the coffee table though Yeah, I know - not "PC", but what is nowdays Thanks! That colour palette is so awesome and would appeal to both males and females alike. Win-win! Come on now, an ashtray would never be factored into the styling of an interior (although, worst case scenario, the tea-light holders could be used if one was 'caught out')!!

@anton_s said: Well done! Thanks!

Thought I'd have a little fun in my downtime...yes. I consider this fun. Clearly, I have serious problems! Anita https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQI5ODpUvyo
