Re: Oliphaunt

Show all headers | View raw

And SO, having opened another historical Can Of Worms, I headed over to 
where Chris Creek is now the CEO of HiveWire to check out anything new that 
he and Ken Gilliland (Songbird REMIX guy!) have come out with.  Oh COOL! 
Lizards of the World with our beloved li'l Carolina Anole in it!   And he 
did an excellent character of it too!   Yeah I bought it.   YAH!  MINE! 
LOL!   :D  I got birthday bonus points which I spent on that and some other 
goodies.  Heh!   I do love working with LIFE figures and scenes.   Of course 
they are more difficult to 'get right' in a render.   But so worth the 
effort.   :)
