We were playing around the other day with creating new characters for a project we are working on and an idea came up. We have all been leaving messages on this board for a while now, but there are a lot of us who have never seen each other. The idea is this, each member creates an animated character of himself, say that will fit in a 100x100x400 unit box, animate it for 30 frames, download it to the ASOFT forum. They can all be assembled into a single animation and rendered out for all to see as an ASOFt family picture per say. Is anyone interested?

He-He…the thought totally cracks me up! Let's see what kind of response you get, Andrew. Should be interesting… -Alan Iglesias

These animations would be especially flattering for those of us awake, animating, and on CIS at 4 a.m. <g>. John Tissavary (La Luna cie)

Andrew: Sounds like a great idea! However, I'm going to submit mine with Alan Iglesias' picture mapped onto the image! I figure it'll confuse everybody, and make me look much better, besides! <g> Greg Pyros

This is along the lines of Martin Foster's suggestion that everyone upload a JPG or GIF of themselves. I actually intend to do this (as Martin has) as soon as I get my scanner hooked up after I finish my curent project and can afford crashes and hangups. I'd consider an animation of myself, too. Just so's you know. David Taffet

This is great. Does it mean that now I need a hair cut before I log into CI$? Or maybe I will scan my driver's license and get thrown out of Compuserve for indecent exposure. Gary Yost will need a 64 bit per chanel scanner to get his shirt right.

I think Gary's shirt will require 64-bit stereo sim-glasses as well as under-the-counter comestibles/combustibles to REALLY get his shirt right! <g>
