Sweet! I was looking at that one too when I grabbed the truck model from there
last week. I'm glad I could jog your memory about the challenge - it's good to
see you are actually doing it. You're off to a good start, that's for sure. I
see Ive's interested too, any more POVers up for it? Let's show 'em what we can
do :)
I have the challenge models but haven't started on it yet thanks to the SSLT
distractions this past week. But those distractions have actually opened up a
new way of thinking for me that will come in handy on that theater shot...
Cheers,
Rob
