Even though I dont use Maya... I am still signed up. I am sure the same princables can be applied to other programs. And god knows I could use some help with lighting :)

[TeviH]

yea, lighting and texturing is hard! I'm signed up :)

Does anybody else here love UV unwrapping?? Seriously - I love it!

[Mathias]

Hehe. I love to tweak lights for hours but there is nothing I hate more when it comes to cgart than to unwrapp models and texture them properly. ;) But I sure need to practise on it, although I think the book would be more usefull in another guys hands than mine as I don't use Maya at all, but I'd like to stay on the mailinglist. :)

Congratulations to all our hopefuls, and we'll see you next contest!

[TeviH]

yay for the winner!

btw - anybody who was not interested in listening through the podcast again, could have just clicked to see the whole filmlist, and sort the films by date.

:)

[AnimWatch]

Yes, they could have done that, but unfortunately that answer would have been wrong, because some of the films no longer appear in the filmlist... Don't fear the podcast, baby. It won't steer ya wrong.
