Gary - Thanks for all your hard work! Where did you find Jonna? Does Jonna participate here under another name? All those bugs are beautiful. Maybe we need to have that kind of bug thread here.

Big Frank looks to have done a fantastic job on his guest tutorial. I look forward to reading it and your glass interface tutorial.

Thanks, Ross

Love those bugs! Joana makes it look so easy. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif[/img]

As for the VW - 20hrs to do - thats after how many hours of practicing on smaller items!

It's late (UK wise) so I'll check out your tut tomorrow - had a quick look, but like a fine wine it deserves to be appreciated at a more oppertune moment - at least this month I don't have to convert it to CD7 - managed to steel a few extra free days on the 30days, as my machine crashed and I had to rebuild C:

Maybe you will do another neon tut someday. Got me to playing with the shirt design I'm currently working on. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif[/img]

Your comment reminded me of a photo shoot I art directed back when Nissan was called Datsun ( a long time ago).

We were doing a still photograph on a sound stage in Los Angeles. In one of the adjoining sound stages, another crew was shooting a TV commercial. The crew lighting for the TV commercial had used every light they could find, and the cars were lighted from every angle. Not a shadow to be found anywhere.

On our set, the photographer, one of the professionals who shoot only automobiles, had used but two lights and a big reflector overhead. The car looked like a piece of glass or like a jewel. It was breathtaking.

Some of the crew from the TV shoot were on a break and popped in for a look.

"Wow!", one of them said when seeing the elegant and stunning lighting on the car, "How long did it take you to do the lighting?"

The photographer remarked offhandedly, "Oh, about two hours", and under his breath he said "and about 20 years!"

Kudos to Big Frank and Jonna for making it look so easy :-)

Refer to the thread from BCDeb > Help Gary or Help, Gary or Gary Needs Help or ksjpo osieml snkipois Gary or... BCDeb's thread

I screwed up. Colors three and four are wrong.

I have updated the tutorial and the Zip file with the correct colors.

My apologies.
