I haven't been following the POV-Ray groups lately, but I'm having a spare 
moment and thought I'd drop by and say hello again. :)

Things are progressing nicely with my Locomotion System which I'm writing my 
master thesis about. The latest interactive demo can be seen here:

Compare with the walking system for POV-Ray that I worked on back in 2001:

What I'm doing now is really what I dreamed about doing back then; however 
the features in POV-Ray just don't lend themselves to building advanced 
animation technology on top of it so I got kind of stuck back then. Now, 
with a game engine that supports skinned characters with skeletal animation, 
animation blending and whatnot, as well as import of keyframed animation, 
progress is going rather fast.
Nevertheless, I got the original idea while working with POV-Ray.

As for my trip in February to the Game Developers Conference in San 
Francisco, it went really well too. It's a great city, the conference was 
really great too (and *huge*) and we even got quite a bit of interest and 
attention about our game Flipside. It has appeared in a number of gaming 
magazines in various countries and just recently, a video interview have 
been put online with me and one of the co-developers on the game. So have a 
look if you want to see me speak English with horrible pronunciation:

Generally, language did not turn out to be a problem though...

I see that things are the same old here... Threads started by Andrew seem to 
be approaching 50%, hmm. :P

Gotta get some sleep now.
