Ya, I'm with you Moth. It's a weird time of the year, where a lot of little stuff has to get done, after parking the brain for three months.
Ron, you're stuff is absolutely terrific, and I do appreciate that you do post here. As I had mentioned in an earlier thread, I'd love to discuss your use of Zbrush in creating textures along with their application.
As for your work, the stuff that really knocks my sox off are those like Claw and Devise 3, that's where you excel, in my opinion. This is where I would love your mentoring. The spacescapes are great, just not my cup of tea, hence I defer comment.
If you are in fact, movin' on down the road, I for one, will miss your contributions, and hopefully we bump into each other in an other incarnation.
