yes, it can be used for 3D also, but I don't think anybody really uses 
that feature :p

nice explosion btw !  I really like the "halftoning" effect :)

I knew it!  I knew that whatever I thought it was,
it wouldn't be right.  So these are mesh objects rendered
with pure ambient then?  Even simpler than my approach.

Not quite sure I follow.  Are you saying that you have a lot of time off 
or that your job requires you to run around naked and crap in dumpsters? 
  If the former, I want your job.  If the latter, I'm not so sure.

Me too, so I have learned to have even more patience.

Romantic.  It has been a long time since I have visited a museum with my 
wife.

Never really held my attention either.  But he kept his studio in the 
Village and seemed a nice enough guy in interviews etc.

Ah, there you go again, with your "htfdhdt?" style. Nice one Shay, and as 
always, another move forward in the direction of non conformity, which 
should always be a plus in the world of 3d engines.

      I'll have that bomb on a black T with Stephen's suggestion too. Medium 
size will do.

      Nice to see you back.

lol. Reminds me of a conversation with a psychotic friend just after he 
began receiving a "nut check" from the governement. During an evening of 
his typical deranged behavior at a club, I asked, "so *this* is what you 
do for a living?"

I have a lot of time off. Two weeks on, two weeks off.

Quite sure it's better even today in the North Sea than in the Gulf of 
Mexico. What isn't cheap is "southern fried". I nearly got smacked 
insisting the corn dog *must* have been invented in Mississippi.

~~~ These hot dogs ain't worth a flip, cusin. By the time you put 
ketchup on, you cain't hardly taste the grease. Let's batter and deep 
fat fry 'em.

Don't think Zazzle can pull off the two-sided printing for the entry 
wound, but I'd be happy to send you a one-sided in black. Who's best to 
print and send it your way? I'll get the address when I get back. I'm 
off to Singapore[1] tonight.

[1] Singapore ==> The rig. It was made in Singapore.

   Hey, thanks! I'd love to wear one. In return, I'll send you some of my 
favourite (locally made) herb and garlic sausages for your hotdogs. That'll 
keep the boys quiet and they won't need ketchup.  ;)

   I guess, as you mentioned, the Big Z? Not sure. Mail on its way.

   Heh, I'm liking that setup you've got there - hard work, and fun too. My 
step dad was on the rigs and was in charge of health and safety, he even 
received awards for whatever it was he did to deserve them.

   Later,

Rumours say that 3D will not be supported anymore in version 3.7.....
