James, thanks. >>I have to admit, though, I'm _almost_ sad you shared it.<< Well, it's been shared for quite a while – I wrote that message back in Feb. I just had to dig through my File Cabinet, Cut and Paste to answer Jason's question. >> It's kind of like a master magician revealing one of his illusions.<< So, I'm a "Master Magician", eh? I always considered myself to be a "Special Effects Wizard" <bg> But, really – I don't ever upload samples of my work that I'm not prepared to tell people how I did it, or have planned to publish the technique (Planet Studio, etc.). I be an @ss to share something with everyone, and when I get a barrage of 'how'd you do it' questions, say "sorry – can't tell you." – It's just bad practice – Also, I don't consider many of my techniques to be that great, they are very straight forward to me. One thing I generally don't do is upload the source meshes/maps -that just encourages people to capitalize directly on my art – I think that animation and modeling is 50/50 split between technical processes and artistic talent – I can give you the technical process, but I can't give you the artistic side. -Kyle
