I don't even know if this is the right place for me to be posting this but I just wanted to say that I'm right in the middle of watching the head tutorial even as I'm typing this; during the second movie Mike asks if we would even want to watch him do what he's doing!!! Is he kidding??? Or am I the only one who would just sit around all day and watch this guy work!!! I mean, seriously...O, right like I'm the only one who thinks this guys work is awesome...or am I just the only one who admits that they're a fan. Anyways Mike, to answer your question, yes, I would sit around all day and just watch you work man all the while I'd be taking notes. Thanx for the tutorials and keep up the good work!! O, and by the way do guys have like t-shirts or stuff like that? if you don't you should get some so I can get one...Tanx u gys!!

Rage.... in the tut I cover image planes, using nurbs to get basic shape and proportions, coverting to polys, then coverting to sub-d's to shape and pull details. I'm up to section M and almost done just have to add the little things like ropes and how to model with using curves. It long most likely about 3 hours.

I dont cover Texturing in this tut. It will be done buy the end of the month then sent to Kev..... As far as I know he has the cd design for the cover and just has to print them.

Do you have ICQ.. if so PM your# to me..

Cool thing is on the Cd you get my finshed model.... to play around with..
