Spencer, thanks for your response! Yes, Ii can see you used quite a mean
system to do that animation - I expected that since I noticed quite a few
good particle effects.
You talk about a deadline - was it a personal deadline for yourself, or was
it for some kind of commercial project? Anyhow, your perserverence pulled
off - good work! What does "MS" stand for?
BTW, congrats with the new family member! I have a little lady waiting to
come into this world in due course.
Regards
Cobus
