Description
I'm Back! Sorry for the long delay. My desktop fried itself and took everything else with it. Fortunately, I had backed up all my models to my external HD the day before.
Unfortunately, I lost all the Poser versions. Fortunately, they're all here. I can't afford a new one, but picked up a small laptop, cheap, at the local second hand store.
While not powerful enough to handle my larger models, it is JUST enough to handle the hawk, provided I hide the sections I'm not working on. As you can see, I'm UVmapping
the CM at the moment.
Alas, both Titans from WH40K, the CCS2, and the Kraken, are on hold until I can afford to replace my fried desktop. Still, it lasted over 10 years of almost constant use, so
I definitely got my money's worth. ^_-

that really sucks... Did you lose all the Connie upgrades as well?

Nope, Connie set one and two are safe on my backup drive. Just the Poser version of set one is lost, but since it is here on my site, it's not really lost.

I am waiting patiently for the connie set 2 to be released. Even if its just obj's. Love the original set. Hope everything works out for you.

It should, If I can be patient. Not exactly a strong point of mine, I'm afraid.
Once the Hawk is done, I can try to split the CCS2 into multiple files, but I'm
sure it's to big for the laptop to handle. Even the Hawk crashes Modo due to
resource shortages. I just have to keep model to 400K polygons or less for
a time. Once I can afford the desktop replacement, size won't matter so much. ^_-

Sigh, not much I can do until I can get a new desktop. I am, however, going to see if the laptop can load the file, at least.
If it can. I may be able to split the set into smaller parts, like I'm doing with the hawk. Once a section is UVmapped, I save the section as
a separate file for the texture work. I may be able to do the same with the CCS2, if the file isn't too big. I'll let you know one way or the
other once I finish the Hawk. ^_-

I'm really sorry to hear about your computer problems, Eric. Tech wise, the loss of my PC is my greatest fear. I have a 8 year old laptop as back up but it'll never be up to proper work so I watch the PC like it's made of porcelain. I hope you get up and running soon as your models are amazing and you have a real gift.
Cheers Pete

I thank you, and will be getting back up as soon as I can. I got my dollar's worth on that laptop. Not nearly as powerful as my desktop was, but within those
restrictions, it functions very will indeed. And for only $100, it was a bargain. ^_-
