Take two Motrin and call me in the morning…(smile). Honestly I do not remember what I've uploaded or quite where but you can find anything I have using the keyword "klammer" in the libraries. I have found that some of my avi's are a little too large for the speed of my 2400 modem. so I cancelled in the middle…don't know if the first half makes it to the lib. You know it is frustrating to be labeled Guenuis from early on in life and find the only useful thing the IQ does is to remind me how really stupid I am. (smile) heheh I have allergies too but I think I'll not devulge my secret overthe counter formula. Right now I think it need a little salt. (grin) Whew, I hate root canals..I honestly asked my dentist to yank them all out…but nooooo! But she does a real good job and they doo look pretty. Terry are you in charge of the cd project? Reguardless Anything I upload is public domain as far as I'm concerned. Would you like a multimedia sketchbook? Hmm a virtual TS art gallery of my early works on paper might be nice…Faces lots of faces superimposed on each other of the same person (per image that is). Let's see i'll have floating cubes slowing rotating and each facet shall have a different drawing. Now that should test the limits of my ram! (chuckle) I am thinking of building a face from scratch using TS and I have tried a few times with some dissapointment of my ability to do so. I tried using the primatives the first few times (mind you these were all half-hearted play arround efforts) but found that method rather tedious. I halve since purchased aninexpensive trackball and find that it has better controll for this type of work for me. I have been practicing like made my spline technieques and am getting to the point when I can product a fair likeness of anything I concieve. Then comes the new territory …navigating 3-d (an I thought I wanted to be an astronaut!). Because I am a bit dyslexic changing the x-y-z- switches slows me down a bit however the trackball seems to make this process easier. I think my mouse was shot. I seem to have a problem with the primative when editing vertices like to do a cut-off I have trouble distinguishing whether I am in forground or background and miss many of the vertices or points that I thought I was selecting. Perhaps if the background points would be a different color, I would be less likely to miss the tchosen target. However I also know that practise makes perfect and that I will get very much better as time goes on. (Whew) Anyway I am happy to know that I have spread cheer and flattered that at my age to be called enthusiastic (your asking me? sp? HA!) I really thought I had toned down. hehehe Now I am wondering if I'll be hyper at 90. Take your time answering, I have lots and I understand what goes on behind the scenes of serenity. always a pleasure to chat, Ken –artist
