That is all. After that, Aceman, have a blast and I wish I could go.

What would he do with all the models in the world even if they would give it to him!...it's ALL LIGHTWAVE..ehehe.. and Ace is a Max man..

..and anyway, he does'nt need to go to BC to get the models he wants...does'nt he..

His poor choice in 3d programs is not the members fault :P Lightwave models will do fine

mwuhahahaha- We LWers do alright when it comes to models as it is, ain't that right Al?

AceMan: I will chime in with one suggestion / request.

It would be really cool if you could take some texture type of still in addition to reference shots of the sets. So if you saw a cool looking floor texture or bulkhead texture try to get some shots that are dead on straight (as much as you can) so we might be able to use them for some texture work on our models?

**Samurai** · 06-05-2007, 03:37 PM

^that sort of shot will depend on the lenses Ace has at his disposal, the Standard 18-70 D80 lesn can be susceptible to barrel distortion. It is possible to put it right using Photoshop however, so it may not be the issue it forst seems.

**JeffrySG** · 06-05-2007, 06:20 PM

^yeah, that's true but at least if they are kind of straight on shots we can try to undistort them with some PS filters and warping, etc. Better than trying to take out all the perspective from a general shot.

Truthfully, I'll be happy to see and read any stuff that Aceman can get!

Now All we need to do is to hook aceman up to a live video feed

I have no probs with Aceman going - It's a thank you I think he deserves.

Also slightly related - I loved the "Send Aceman... " banner ads - any chance you could post them all in one place to take a look?

Yeh. It was the same for me... Want to sent something quite a time ago. Well. You got some bucks from me now Ace! Enjoy the trip and... hmm.. the life feed is good idea!!
