Today we were notified that Dr. Tony Alley, author of "Exploring 3D Modeling in CINEMA 4D R9, passed away after a long battle with brain cancer on January 15, 2008. Not only was Dr. Alley an accomplished author, but he was also a Professor at Oklahoma Christian University where he was a mentor and inspiration to many. He taught a variety of CG courses including MAXON's CINEMA 4D. It was an honor knowing and working with Tony.

I didn't know Dr. Alley, but it's very sad to hear of his passing. It's a shame to lose anyone to cancer, especially one who shares the same passion that all of us here share.

My deepest condolences to his friends, family and colleagues.

I didn't know much of him. But I have a soft spot in my heart for those who are smart and curious. Somewhere in the code of C4D someone should name a function call after him. Just so he lives on in something he loved.
