Where's Ross

[Ross Macintosh]

Thanx all! Yes, I was away - took the family to a themepark want-a-be sort of place. Now I need to recover from all the rides that seemed to be designed to induce nausia rather than thrills.

Regards, Ross

Gary,

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR>Speaking of persons missing, Jens > Jay etc. seems to also have gone missing. I guess he must be in transition between his three places of residence? <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Thank you so much for asking! It's good to know that at least someone in this world is missing me (except my wife and the macaws).

You are right - I have been in Spain for some weeks, and dialup connections with a global roaming account are kind of expensive (50 cents per minute on a modem line).

So, currently I am in Germany, getting ready for another move to Denmark.

And yes, I survived the heat without aircons, got a slight suntan, finished almost everything, and now I am heading for 3D training - just rcvd the new Cinema 4D XL version 7, which is a powerhouse.

My first task: improvement of my famous knot.
check it out at

http://jens.highspeedweb.net/samples/knot-v7-03.exe

it's a self xtracting archive (made with winrar) and contains an AVI movie.

You might ask: what's that thing have to do with XARA? Simple: I shaped the knot spline (= vector) in XARA and modified it in the 3D space :-))

Have fun, and thanks a lot for caring about a 'missing member'.

Thought your avi file was fantastic. I tried to recreate in XaraX as an animated gig.
Eventually I cheated and used screen grabs of your original avi file.

However I did apply a transparency to the gifs to add a glass like effect. The file is 46 Kb against your exceptionally smooth 433 Kb original.

I don't know about you getting lost or your whereabouts, but it took me an enternity just to find this thread, where you'd posted the avi link!
