Congratulations to Jen Woodbury on winning the special edition “bronze” catfish. Also, thanks to 3D Art to Part for supplying the sculpture.

A good time was had by all.

I’ll see if I can get Jen to send me a picture of it.

I didn’t want to unpack it before I got to the meeting. Sorry!

I was in tech/college last week and the head of faculty gave a talk about encouraging students to try and start their own businesses, and how the tech would support them and all that.
He then mentioned that he was waiting for a new £30000 rapid prototyping machine to be delivered…

Hopefully i’ll get a chance to speak to him on monday and ask what sort of machine it is and how much stuff costs to make (and if he would let me use it…)
Would anyone in the uk be interested in getting models made?

if you get a cinema 4d file…i presume it shouldn’t be in a hypernurb? and the smooth/phong tag shouldn’t be there?

what about file sizes…i converted one of my models and the file size was 50meg in c4d and 150 as an obj file? how do you go about getting this to you? is it an upload process?

also i know this might sound odd but i’m unsure on one of them about holes in the mesh…would you guys be able to check once the file is sent for a quote

can you give us a few more details for those that are UK based.

cheers
