How about Blue Tongues CEO Steven Spagnolo?

I always wanted to learn more about Blue Tongue and their plans for the future aswell as why the name Blue Tongue was chosen etc...

I dont know about other people but i just want to see a staff member of Blue Tongue to be interviewed [:)].

It would be cool if you were able to get at least one highish level person from each company for a short interview for the site, we'd have like an encyclopedia of Australian game developers...

Yeah. Hey how about you interview that Sumea owner guy called Souri? I hear he lives in a box and is drunk 90% of the time... [;)]

Anyway, any progress on some interviews? [:p]

I'd like to see one of the NZ crews interviewed for something different...

:)

PS: Go black! Yay!

Chris Mosley was the founder of Blue Tongue, so he's probably the person to ask about the company name. He's steering another game developer though called Tribal Ant.

So yeh, an interview with someone from Blue Tongue, Mario Wynands from Sidhe Interactive.. anymore?

How about one of the guys from TwoHeaded here in Tassie. I don't think they are up to much these days, but they worked at Beam back in it's day, so they could probably give an interesting interview...

Just a thought...

Another NZ crew is Binary Star in Auckland, not sure if they'd be keen for an interview or not but that have an interesting projet going. Contacts are on their webpage http://www.binary-star.com/

Yay i get to see an interview with the Blue Tongue founder!

Hey Souri, just wondering how do you manage to go about getting people for interviews? Do you just explain who are you are, your mission, what you provide to the community etc...? (Queer question i know, but worthy enough to be asked i would think.)

Well, they all know of Sumea and what it's all about, so I don't really need to explain much at all. I've done a fair bit of questioning for interviews from the agdc 2002 winners, to the art directors/leads for the portfolio article etc so I have had reasonable contact with a lot of developers. And then there're those who visit the site (but don't post much) [;)]

Two Headed - I didn't receive a response from them before, so I'm unsure if they'll even reply.
I'd love to do an article with Team Bondi as well. Brendan McNamara being the director of SCEE's The Getaway etc...

Nice [:D]

Hey Souri, not sure if you know this but whenever the page loads up I get a runtime error saying

Line:0

error: Expected Identifier

But that's probably one of the nigglies you mentioned, looks good though.

niiice, is the whole website gonna be switching over to this red like theme or just that section?

I have to say that you should leave this design already, the new isn't that good as this one, also it is more hard to navigate then the other one. Good job though.

change is good.

are you planning on putting the new design across all pages?

Just a note:

I think the coder section lists anyone from ACT as actually being from Tassie. I noticed I have an orange block next to my name. If you have to lump ACT in with some place can it not be Tassie ;)

whats wrong with Tasmania? [;)]

two heads are better than one!

also, I am in Tassie, but the coder section has put me from Northern Territory...

Ok, I think I have it fixed now.

I reckon the new section pages looks much better than the old one. It compliments the design seen on the front page more. The old section pages with the scenery art could have been from another website [;)]. It's interesting to hear that you think it's much harder to navigate than the old one though.

Anyway, when I have time I'll be putting the red design on member profile pages and gallery pages, both of which are in need of a new look..

HAHA! i was going to suggest that the other day when it was my birthday [:P] good mod!!

Where?, What are you talking about?

On the main page there is a little section down the bottom that tells you whos Birthday it is today.

Today nontacky just turned 14. Happy Birthday ya little scamp :D (yeah I realise that the age is just the default 13)

your family would have an isp email, ask your parents or whomever has it if you could use it just to sign up. Failing that do you have a school email?

I can make a concession for you to use a hotmail account - just let me know via the comments so I know you're Bullet21. Hotmail or other free web-based email accounts are disallowed because, well, you can register multiple accounts and abuse the service with the anonymity. If you have a legit email address, you're less likely to be an ass, and I can see if you're a local too.

I still haven't got any emails...

I could've sworn I added you a few days ago.. anyway, you should be recceiving an email notification now.

You've named your large image wrong..

my bad :( u can delete this thread

I know Ionized is still alive because his been posting at cgtalk. http://www.cgtalk.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=132514

David's working at AntJuice now, so he's probably too busy to be posting...

Dave also doesn't have net access at home yet since he's moved to melbourne, so he doesn't get around the net much at all except when he's at work...working :P
CYer, Blitz

hey blitz, why aren't _you_working, [turns around to annoy blitz]

Interesting, I was just thinking this myself yestday. All my coworkers and collegues have now resorted to calling me Munkee, with Chris being just a little to common of a name. Anywho, again, not a big deal but :)

I think you need to be an admin or moderator to change names. Anyway, I have changed your username for you.

thank you [:)]

gday!

Sounds good to me, even though I didn't go to the IGDC and haven't been to any meetups before.

I am all for the whole thing, but of course there is the undeniable fact that I live in Tas-no-gaming-mania... [:(!]

sounds great to me, and i reckon youd perfect for our melbourne guru wombat :D

Sounds like a plan! I'll throw out my nomination for heading up the Perth Meets, although they'll have to wait until after July 15th :)

I'd come along. Let's have it in the school holidays. It's in liek 4 weeks

Sounds great! Let me know what you need from the site to accomodate Sumea meets! I'd be happy to make a new forum section for it, and anything else on the site to help out!

Sounds like a great idea Mark :) As for Canberra I'd be willing to take that on!

I was talking with Aven last week about trying to organise a meet-up here so this is all in good timing!

I can finally see the faces behind the text :)

The question is do you really want to? I mean, I'm quite happy with Imagining each and every one of you as a Cyborg sent back from the future to come and take over the human race through game technology....or something :) So I guess my question is, would there be anyone in Perth willing to meet with me :)

Well we may just be cyborgs, but just with really good texturing for our faces...

I'll come along to a Perth meet in December, DaMunkee - got a 2 week in-law visit scheduled for Chrissy :)

I spose I can drag myself out of my hermit-esque seclusion to nerd things up for a few hours.. Err at Canberra I mean.

*pokes jac*

Woo. SB will finally see daylight. If there are any other Canberrans out there (tbag ;) ), then we should organise something. Lunch or a movie :)

yeah...i had the same problem for a little while.
what i found out was, that it was a browser issue.
i had to use iexploder to solve it.

netscape also works.

hmm, im using linux here, and i thought mozilla wa netscape, or rather netscape is made using mozilla?

The upload function has been tested on IE and Mozilla only, and they work for both. I'm not sure if there is any other way to make it compatible (I remember looking into this ages ago since someone using Opera had the same problem). I've used the only examples available from the company that made the upload component.

ahh, ok, i thought you may have written the upload componenet yourself ;o) and be able to play with the internals of the system.

well it seems that the mozilla test was for an earlier version, as i said im using mozilla 1.6

any way of getting it done manually?

Just a quick note - check your firewall level is not too high - i had the same problem for a while but that fixed it.

Yeh, I put that calendar in an iframe which is placed in an exact location, so it'll stay at that exact spot no matter what screen resolution/browser size. It looks normal at 1024x768 mode, but it'll probably look funny on other screen modes. WIll look into a more elegant solution later [:)]

btw, if anyone has sent me an email, press release, job ad or anything lately, I won't have time to respond until later in the week. I'm at an internet cafe, and I can't remember my darn password for email. Waiting for the phone connection at my new place.

oops, "sumea news archive" button at the bottom of main page is a dead link (link url goes to "http://www.sumea.com.au/snewsearch.asp")

I have no idea why that page disappeared.. Re-uploaded.

nope, its cause this is a snitz forum

d'oh. Thanks for the reply

I'll see if there's a modification so you can do that.. Will have to look into it when I get phone access back at my new place.

Sweeet. Just thought it would be a cool idea if ppl were online (not in chat) and would like to speak to a member that's online :)

I've just put private messages up for the forum. You can send each other private messages now! At the moment it seems to be stuffing up the forum memberlist search (which I'll try and get fixed), but private messaging works! You get an inbox, you can set your preferences etc

That;s sweet, top job souri!

Ok, that little problem is fixed, and all works perfectly now. [:)]

Thanks for adding that in Souri. It is very handy :D

Would you be able to add the option of having a popup great you when you have new messages though?

Sounds like a good idea.. I'll have a look into it.

Hey, I thought I wasn't going to get an invite! w00t!

Depends on the time for thurs as I probably won't get to Melb until 8:30-9:00 (depends on traffic too!). Unless of course I put my good car back together in which case I could probably shave a half hour or so off of that. But I'll keep my rule-bending driving habits to myself!!!

Friday night general havoc (with a 'c'?) is cool though, I am up for that!

Whats the details, where and When?

Maybe it's havok (with a k) and we're gonna spend the evening doing physics simulations and experiements!
CYer, Blitz

just a note...i think its havoc with a 'c'...I think its only the physics Havok that has a k

hav?oc
n.
Widespread destruction; devastation.

Disorder or chaos: a wild party that created havoc in the house.

[:D]

dunno :) maybe its the same as color and colour.

As for place I am up for options. Was thinking if CombatWombat was coming along it may be easier to get a list of places that are more accessable for him.

Well not looking that great for me with attending that much of the conference - my monster truck (aka wheelchair) doesn't do steps that well :-( But I'm definitely there for a sumea meetup on the Thursday! [:D]

The souri-meister and I had a quick discussion on IRC about this one a few months back - I think mexican ended up on top of our impromptu cuisine list.

Anyway, what kind of cost are people willing to spring for? (eg would $16-20 mains break the bank?) Any preferences for particular types of food? I'm happy to rustle up some suggestions for places with a little direction from the rest of y'all :)

I am up for Mexican!

mexican sounds good, cant give any all clears about wether or not ill be there until i have details tho. Also i understand if youd rather meet me at the confrence being a "minor" and all (16yrs).

Nah come along, MoonUnit - can't have our sumea town neighbours going hungry, after all! :)

A couple of URLs I've collected on the mexican front:

"Fiesta Mexican", South Yarra, http://www.fiestamexican.com.au
"Mexicali Rose", Richmond, http://www.wguides.com/city/84/75_150949.cfm
"Tres Tacos", Flemington, http://trestacos.citysearch.com.au

I've been to the first two, love 'em and hear the third is quite good too.

well im all for the first atm, its got a bigger vegitarian menu then the third and the second dosent have a menu on show. Yes thats right carnivores, im a leaf eater (by allergy).

Mexicans great. I don't suppose theres any mexican closer/in the city though, in case people want to avoid catching an extra train etc. ?
CW: The conference is in a CAE building, i'd be somewhat surprised if they didn't have wheelchair access?? I think it's like mandatory for educational institutions or something...
CYer, Blitz

Mexican ey? Sounds scary :) Shouldn't be too bad as long as the food isn't 90% jalapeno chili...

CW: The conference is in a CAE building, i'd be somewhat surprised if they didn't have wheelchair access?? I think it's like mandatory for educational institutions or something...

The conference is actually spread out over 3 different venues, all close by. The CAE building has access via the goods lift at the back, it seems the one, possibly both the others, do not have access (still trying to confirm this with the organisers though).

WRT the legal thing - I believe all new public buildings must have access, but other than that, it's a matter of what is reasonable for an organisation to do.

Re: extra train - I'll see if I can find something closer. I found one in Lonsdale St, but it's Lonsdale St in Dandenong (only an hour by train :)

there's a place in the city on the corner of russel and bourke street, Taco Bill which is pretty good

Nah, let's not go to Taco Bell.. that's a fast food joint [:)] They'll probably want us out within 15 minutes!

Naw - Vic doesn't have the Taco Bell's (fast food). It's Taco Bill for sure.

D'oh! Foiled by those evil stairs again :-/

Yeah that also looked to be the only mexican place in the city too...

Hmmm...

how bout we eat something else besides mexican?

Nando's Chicken

Ok, I got myself a copy of The Age's Cheap Eats guide... How's this one sound:

Lebanese House, 264 Russell St, CBD, mains $13-15 (3/3 stars = "Somewhere really special")

It's about 500m from where the conference is being held.

lol :) That sounds good to me. Hurray for lazy!

Is there good access for you at the place, CW?

Yup no worries on access there, thanks Cheryl.

Just wondering, what is Lebanese food?

is it like kebabs and stuff? (my completely clueless guess)

any chance of anyone pickin us up a menu?
lebanese dosent sound like it'll have much in the way of vego

I've had lebanese before and there is stuff for vegetarians moonunit falafels etc, I assume its a pretty common type food so they should serve it

Lebanese food is excellent for vegetarians - lots of dips with bread, and the cheap eats singles out their falafels (= crushed chickpeas, garlic, mint, etc rolled into balls and shallow fried) as being "as good as you'll find in downtown Beirut". (There are ~50 restauraunts listed for the CBD, and this is one of about 10 of them that are listed as having a "V" for good variety of meat-free dishes).

I'm thinking I'll go do have to do some "research" on the food there [:D] For purely selfless academic purposes of course!

ah sounds ok then, was just a bit wary because of what i know as typical lebanese food from some characters at my school.

Anyone here in Brizvegas going? Coz I wouldn't mind going but I'm just wondering how anyone is getting there. [8D]

oh yeah I got it today and was like yay yay! Go sumea!! oi oi oi!
anyways, nice to see sumea getting recognized! awesome site!!

Yeah I saw it too. Was a nice surprise considering how rarely I read PCPP.

Didn't win Far Cry [:(].

I got approached by a game magazine last year. I think they were doing an article on the local game industry. I turned down any participation though since I'm not really an industry bigwig or anything. I did pass them some details on local developers and associations though.

But yeh, magazine exposure for the site is very cool [:)]

do we have any new members as a result of the magazine spot?

yer i noticed yesterday, good to see your back on track :D

i felt naked.

I noticed the loadup time straight away ( im on dial up )

Hey Souri,

I don't know how often it's said, but this site is GREAT! Thanks for taking the time to set all this stuff up and for remaining active in it. I for one appreciate it :)

Chris

Very nice of you to say that [:)]

Souri fanboy! look at the flags hes frantically waving about!! .... ... he wears a souri teeshirt as well!! WTF!!?!!?

ah well ...

Yes! Need more fanboys to do my evil bidding!

1. Any kind of modelling (high or low) is welcomed.

2. A general rule I guess for new members is to upload all your good work in one post, so they're grouped together. This prevents new members from taking over all the slots on the front page in one go.

Those kind of pieces are fine.

3. You can submit after every creation, but do be considerate of other members work as well. If you submit too many, you're pushing others work off the main page. If you have a lot of recent stuff to post (more than 2), please group them in one post.

0x0d 13 '
' Carrige Return
0x0a 10 '
' Line Feed

In DOS/Windows you need a Carrige Return and then a Line Feed, so 0x0D then 0x0A. In Linux/Unix it's only a line feed, and on Apple/Mac it's only a Carrige Return...

But for ASP scripting I have no real idea, you could insert the character '
' or something, since that works in C & Co... ?

Yeh, <%=chr(13) & chr(10)%> is a carriage return and line feed.. Anyways, I figured out what the problem was. The carriage returns were in there, it's just with the way I was looking at them (printing the results on an asp page), you wouldnt see them. Saved the results as a txt file on the server, and the carriage returns were definately there.

you big voyuer you! [;)]

moony likes to watch !![:p]

and twill be a field day for inglis, will give him much opportunity for tweaking his picture defacing techniques [:D]

which i might add dosent exactly encourage people to put pictures up [8D]

i promise i wont mess with any if that helps?

I am all for random craziness, and it's easy enough to implement on Sumea.. pics could be uploaded in the admin section via a simple upload like the avatar uploads. Descriptions are no problem. It would probably be a good idea to restrict image shots to 640x480 or something like that..

inglis - ROFL looking at your avatar and then reading that comment - i can just feel the sincerity!!

i think it would be good for a laugh

traditionally web cam portal images are 320x240 and dw, they dont have to be good quality :P (for those of us who dont have 6 megapixel digicams the size of postage stamps).

example site: http://www.inktank.com/cam/webcam.cfm

yes they are indeed crazy people, by the way if you dont know that site check out the angst technology comics, its about a fictionaly game developing company :D note: theres also a webcam FAQ link at the top of that page

oh and sorry if i put this topic in the wrong section (well i obviously did cause its been moved :P )

everyone could scan in their ID photos, be in license, passport, whatever. then we can see everyone at their ugliest.
go on. just chuck them in this thread lol.

if you show me yours, ill show you mine [:p]

*bump*

only cause with the confrence comin up people could upload some snaps from it after its over

I'll have to get onto this sometime after the next update. I've been doing a website redesign and huge code overhaul for the section pages (modeller, mapper, coder etc), linkstation, sumea profile etc.. (I haven't forgotten about the ICQ, MSN etc details either).. anyway, those pages will run much faster, but it's a huge heap of work too.

no worries, sorry if im being a hassle or something, just wonderin if it was forgotten

Now we really get to find out how MoonUnit got his name... ;->

This isn't going to be pretty!

youve allready seen my amazingly awesome mug shot... which was made considerably less awesome with a bit of help *cough*
you can witness the awesome tomoz nite anyway @ dinner
did i mention awesome?

I think my post suffered from a critical humour failure... Won't be the first time, nor last I expect. Don't worry :-)

not souri.
but yes you are.

More than welcome to Silent Sniper, id like to see some of your work definately.

oh... not souri either :p

Yeh, gun models are fine. (I'm Souri, btw)

Checkout http://www.webaccess.com.au -- it's a blatant plug, I work there :). Basically we're in the middle of launching a new site, the prices will be lower and the servers will be in our own datacentre in Brisbane. (The current packages listed on the site are hosted in the US however -- the new site will be launched in around a fortnight). I'll see if I can get the new pricing ahead of time and email it to you.

Well that Best 100 deal is better than my current hosting plan, although I'm not sure if the site exceeds 5 gigs of bandwidth per month.. what's the policy on ASP components? Does Webaccess have any components available/charge for their use?

There's no extra quarterly/yearly fee for ASP components, however I'm not sure if there's a setup fee (assuming we dont already have the component installed). I'm just waiting for one of the Windows server guys to get into the office and I'll find out for sure.

Are there any particular components you need? Also, what backend/DB does the site run on (mssql, access, mysql, etc)?

it looks like it supports asp as well as php, so you could probably use php for stuff like the image manipulation if you wanted

Yeh, I ask about the components fee (for the use of) since there are a few hosting companies that charge it. Their reasoning is that it causes an extra load on the server, or something like that. The components I need are SoftArtisans FileUp and Persits MailSender.. I'll be needing some free image manipulation (thumbnail) components like Redwyre mentioned..

The the amount of multimedia online, one would think MS would included these functionalities. In fact, one of my previous jobs was to write an ASP Com component to allow image minipulation/creation and file uploading for ASP pages. The company I was working for was tired of having to liceanse out such things from others.

PHP on the otherhand, sort of includes an image library. Having only used it a little bit, I'm not too impressed though, it's resizing function kind of sucks.

Just as a side note, with backbone pipes being so huge anymore, what about using a company outside Oz? Example, www.Site5.com has $10 a month (about $13AUD a month) you get 1gig disk space, 37GB bandwidth transfers. They have a high uptime and their support kicks butt :)

(I setup a site for my brother with these guys and it was a joy to do).

Wow, that sounds incredible [:)] With that kinda space, Sumea could offer to host independant game developer's demo's, member animations and other large files.. I'll annoy them through that chat applet for some more details..

Ok, it's getting close to changing host time, and I'm just getting started looking around. www.Site5.com is interesting, but it looks like they only offer php/msql/linux server plans..

Anyone have any recommendations (local or overseas), please post!

I'm querying a friend on this and he needs to know what DB you use? mysql, access, mssql, etc....

MS Access... (hides) [B)]

Sumea's going to be relocated to a U.S server in a few weeks, so things might get a little shaky around here. I'm pretty sure a lot of things are gonna break, and the site might even disappear for a while, but it should be back! The new plan will have 5 times more webspace, some new useful components (uploading images will be so much easier), and a whole lotta other useful stuff for a site admin like myself...

Ok, just an update on things for those that care. Yeh, bit of a ramble, and probably not much interest to most people, but anyway. The US server is pretty kick ass, I'm loving it! Tonnes of features and options for me as an admin..

I've put up Sumea on there and it seems to be working fine with the database so far. There is an issue with latency however (as Daemin has pointed out to me), it's slightly slower grabbing files half way around the world to us locals.
Anyway, I've found a pretty simple but more costly solution. I'll be downsizing the current local plan that the site is already on to 20mbs, and have it host just the website gfx and thumbnails, and have the US server host the database, the pages, and all the hefty member images.

I've been checking out on what I can do with the new plan and it looks like Sumea can offer some more services to people. Ftp accounts, website under the sumea domain with own seperate bulletin board, sumea email address etc.. I'll probably offer a package with 20mbs space per account and charge some annual fee (thinking $60) for it. It'll be nuts if I give it away for free to everyone, space and bandwidth isn't unlimited, and it'll help me recoup at least a tiny tiny bit from my work.

Maya is turning another one :cue evil laugh: ;)

I have DSL and I am always looking for stuff to download. IF you would like me to download anything, just let me know. I also have a DVD Burner.

Firstly, its not 30,000 members- its 111,000+

Secondly, you can not download all the training videos straight away after becoming a member.
They have just put in a system where you get stars for the more active you are in the 3dBuzz community. And you need x amount of stars to download more than the basic intro videos.

I joined 3Dbuzz way back in the day when they started mailing out the videos on cd. Now the member base is 10x bigger and cant really do that.
So I actually have a few cds here, they are:

Motionbuilder Issue 1
Houdini Issue 1
3dsMax Issue 1
3dsMax Issue 2
Maya Issue 1
Maya Issue 2
XSI Issue 1
Quake 3 Issue 1
Photoshop7 Issue 1
PHP/MYSQL Issue 1 (on the same cd as Photoshop 7)

Darn, I knew it was too good to be true. [:)] Anyway, that begs the question if you would be generous enough to share those cd's! (I know it might be too much to ask but it's worth asking and would save a lot of time - people can try getting what you don't have).

id be happy to download some tuts if u like (bigpond cable unlim).

yeah i can share :)

how?

i might just make some copies and mail them to you Souri?

Hey that's great! Excellant!

I could be the nominated person to do the compiling if you guys like. For those contributing (sending in what they can download), I'd be more than happy to cover the blank dvds (hopefully not tooo many!), burning task, postage and packaging costs, and sending it to you once we fill up discs.

So I guess we can get started on what needs to be downloaded, and who's willing to download what?

btw, I have Maya Fundamentals..
01 - Maya PLE - Intro
02 - Maya Modeling Basic
03 - Maya Animation

(totalling about 600mbs)

plus the Unreal editing stuff which is near 7 gigs [xx(]..

i have downloaded:

Unreal Technology Issue 1: Introduction to UnrealEd
Running Time: 18.5 min | Size: 7.48 MB

Zbrush Issue 1: Basic Overview
Running Time: 32.1 min | Size: 23.8 MB

sounds like a good idea.

all the 1s i hav have all ready been noted. but im on cable (optus 12gig) so any other 1s need dling im happy to help out.

I have the 3Dsmax intro to the poly modelling ones (issue 3) and i also have the alien head modelling one (issue 4) so i can contribute. I am currnetly trying to get a star so i can get more but anyway, how can i send them to you. With me and inglis we have th 1st four issues of the 3dsmax VTM's

Oh and yeah i've also got Lightwave VTM's (issue 1) and the Gamespace VTM's (issue 1).

Also i have bigpond unlimited cable, i know we are all going to download stuff that's already been downloaded by someone else so maybe if you (souri) nominated the people willing to downlaod stuff to download particular VTM's.

Sorry guys but i couldn't find my lightwave one so i cant contribute that one, but like i said i have MAX issues 3 and 4, it's just that i don't see my name up there for those ones. and gamespace issue 1
PS the gamespace one is kool, you get straight into modelling.

Oh and yeah how do we get them to you Souri?

I've updated the list. I'm going to be setting up a P.O box next week so you can send it to me through there (do you have a cd/dvd burner?). T-shirt orders will be sent to that P.O box as well, so more info soon.

Can someone nominate to download any of these issues? Creating Concept Art (1 & 2), Lightwave, PHP & MySQL Issue 2, Combustion - Issue 1, and the HumanIK stuff?

Yup i have a cd burner, I would get the rest but you need a star. Otherwise you can only get the first one

Get what you can and let me know. Can our contributors put their hands up on specific issues they can download, so I can jot your name on the list?

Have u set up the PO box yet? also can you watch it on a DVD player or just on the PC

I've applied for a PO Box. Just waiting on the post office to process it and call me back if there's any free ones available (or when one will be available). No idea when that will be though. [:(]

once u get a PO box ill get these VTMs

HumanIK Issue 1
Concept Art Design Issue 1
Concept Art Design Issue 2
PHP & MySQL Integration Issue 2

Hey I've got a few 3dbuzz tutorials lying around:

3ds max issue 1
3ds max issue 2
3ds max issue 3
3ds max issue 4
3ds max issue 5

Photoshop issue 1

and a few other non 3dbuzz video tutorials on particle flow, max 6 etc.

Stu

Good stuff! It would be great if you can send in 3ds max issue 5 and those other tutorials you mentioned (max 6 etc).

I was just about to get my P.O box this afternoon - I filled out the form, handed it in, waited for them to process, and got the call to pick up the key/pay, but I've decided not to get it. I'm in the process of moving in a few weeks, and it'll take me an hours drive to check my P.O Box. So once I get a P.O Box happening near my new location, I'll let you guys know.

Also, for those that want Sumea t-shirts, I might not have a P.O Box in time before the IGDC, so since I'm flying down to Melbourne for the conference, I'll just bring some shirts with me, so if you're going to be at the dinner or the conference, you can pick it off me then. It'll save you $5-6 or however much it is for the packaging/postage costs as well. (Plus you get to see the shirt first to decide if it's worth buying or not [:)]

The shirt design is done (including tracing the art through illustrator) and it's ready to be given to the printers to print, I've just been pre-occupied to call around to get quotes.

so were not sure on prices yet?

Not sure on prices yet.

What's happening Souri?

I'll be applying for a P.O Box at my new location (just finished moving yesterday) so I'll get this all happening and let you know where to send stuff!

Ok, I have a P.O Box... the details are:

Sumea
P.O Box 161
Bonnyrigg NSW 2177
