So I guess it's sung to the tune of "Sittin on the Dock of the Bay"

Don't worry, Tiny. I got the reference, and your joke.

Guess so. That's how I read what you wrote.
Thanks to Morgan, Tiny Snapshots is up and running again with "Tiny Järvafält" as the latest addition – Go have a look and tell me what you think.

"We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent.
I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita. Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says,
'Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.'
I suppose we all thought that, one way or another.

OK. I'll stop searching for an obscure Swedish folk song and get back to work now.

Just a quick update for everyone.

I spoke with Jim today for a short while, and he tells me he has about 15 items done in 3D for the new background and he is pleased with the way things are going so far. He has about that many more to go, and several other items to work out, but progress is definately continuing and things are looking good.

Hot damn. That is good news. And while I'm here, I'm watching what about Brian and guess what I saw? In the lawyers office he had the Gold Fish playing on his system. I thought it was cool. Just wondering if they had the ok to use it?
Thank you for taking the time to read this.

You would have to ask Jim that question, but I doubt he has an answer. Unfortunately you just never know what problems might arise. The only thing that can be said with any degree of certainty is that things are going pretty well right now.

Doc's right, not a chance. It would have to be in Beta testing now for a Christmas release, and it's not even close. There are still MANY objects to model, and I've already done the easy ones.

I'm sure you just forgot the, "each rendered with hundreds of polygons" part, right?

But, but, we've got super powered GPUs to keep busy... You don't want them to be bored do you?

Sounds good to me, I would love to see some check boxes available that would give a 8800 something to work on.

Only half the polygons are in, and I'm dismayed to find that I'm already down to 40 fps on this machine in Oregon. My California computer is still holding 60 fps.

So you're really going to hobble this thing so it works on a TnT Riva?
