Hello group

Gee,  these are kids!!! would it be better for them to spend their time
putting up websites with death threats on them, or modeling? I feel sure
that as generous and trusting as Lutz seems to be, he would be willing to
make a small donation to give todays troubled youth a more positive
direction. How about it Lutz? A special rate for students maybe with a
limited time span while they are in school? These guys are not making
millions animating feature films for Hollywood, but they might one day with
a little encouragement
I am a 45 yr old man with a wife and two daughters to support on a small
medical disability pension, and I managed to register my version, but lets
help and encourage the kids all we can. How many of us have said before
"Something has got to be done to stop the violence of our youth" I propose
that 3D modeling may help in some small way.

You may note the post, one message above yours, saying,
Note: Offline- it says that lutz'll be gone for a while. So, it might take a
while to resolve this.

Most companies do offer student rates, as well as rates for educational
institutions. In fact, I have found that I can get soft F/X for around the same
price as moray using a student rate...hmm...

You Know You've Been Raytracing Too Long When:
  Rather than hang a picture on a nail you just yell at it :
object {
 union {
 object{
 Painting
 }
 object {
 Wall
 }
 }
 And can't figure out why it keeps sliding off.

I agree, but it doesn't need to be 3D modeling.  Music composition on a
computer could work as well.  Anything to give the kids a project.
