I am not one to use online Email services. It is often more of a headache and a vulnerability I would rather no deal with. As I needed to print an e-mailed receipt, the program hung up, a variation of crashing but the program does not actually go down. Well, this was a OLD version of the E-mailer, about 20 years old. Hey! It worked with out a problem until now. But it should still function as a standalone program, it was not overwritten in the installation of new program. So I got the latest version. Works with only ONE problem. I can't import my old account folder to that version. This by itself is not a problem except now I can't run the old version of my E-mailer. I do not have access to, most importantly to me my Dad's last few Emails to me. I basically can not at least look at my old treasureable emails. I still have my E-mail address, as old as the hills. And as I am seriously contemplating actually finally returning to commissions, this also means I will have to ask for

I am NOT bringing this up to denigrate, discount, or downplay those awesome modellers and artists who spent the time, took the classes in some cases, to learn to work with Computer Aided Design (CAD) programs. But like character, creature and asset modeling has been heavily augmented with polygon sculpting (polysculpting) and the plethora of tools to make that work for animation, such as retopologizing tools, the hard surface modeling, associated with mechanical design, and architecture, to name abut two usually inorganic applications, is about to see perhaps a huge step forward for the first time since the innovation of Non Uniform Rational Basis Splines (NURBS). That reminds me I still need to get a copy of "Moments of Inspiration" (MOI), and fairly basic, rather inexpensive, but complete NURBS program... For the Artist? A Computer Aided Design program. I have yet to try it, I just found out about it TODAY, and the program is still "very Beta". It is by no means ready for more

Aside from being prime numbers, with in the same week two important programs have released... Blender 3D 3.0 and Krita 5.0 They are free to download and so deep, especially Blender 3D, that you will wonder exactly how they are free and how they keep expanding and/or improving FOR FREE. I just wanted to say something before the year was out. Enjoy.
