Thanks

Its back in production. Im settling into a new job at the moment so Im easing my way back in slowly but surely. My afterwork hours are a little less now because its a real job. Have been very lucky to land a character modeling job at a VFX house in London. So Im building heads all day and revising other work for correcting. so very busy!!!

Im hoping to have the end of this Outlaws chapter ready for Xmas anyway. I'll let you know if its any sooner

Cheers
Jay

Dunno mate, they could to be honest as were platinum members so all I need is the licence to activate the download, i'll probably still have to e-mail autodesk to activate it anyway.

But at least I'll have the CD, lol!

We dont have an option to go direct as its all prefered suppliers etc etc, so were sort of at the mercy of the supplier.

edit - should say i'm not complaining as i'm not paying it out of my pocket, just you know want to get my hands on it!

I've been waiting over two weeks for my copy of Maya 2008, had to download it and use a temp license for now. It works but It's not the same as having the box and manuals and my dongle.

Hope you're backing up your work this time jay, when working in your precious spare time you can't afford loosing work.

Also hope you get the time to keep Outlaws going how you want it.

Hey G

Cheers. Ive backed up on my external HD just need to do some dvds now for extra stuff.

Yeah Outlaws is going again, a bit slower than I'd like but its getting done all the same. Ive posed up most of the characters for the last chapter now.

Whats wrong with these resellers, they cant even supply a full license, now when Alias were around......
