Thank you sir!!! :salute:

Thanks for the encouragement, extensive use of the VRay Rendering Engine was the principal task at hand here , its ability to create subtle lighting changes is a marvel in the creation of paintwork and VC textures.

7 paints , one from each was aged 30 years and a new American livery in black and gold , a paintkit was produced and uploaded, its exact location and a link i will need to verify, the website was being updated late last night and might have more to do still.

Addendum , and Mia Culpa .. it seems i have scandalized some of our more devout Muslim clients , a few emails have come in regarding the passenger, who while fully dressed is intricately modelled with all of the curves well represented in animated mesh.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>
<o></o>
While musing on a figure to model an associate mentioned the Lear was a favoured ride for Rock Stars and their entourage and Traffic out of Miami during the 80's. An anecdote from Steve during the beta test raised the same point , citing some hanger chat related in an email to me " I used to share a hangar with a Lear 25 and those guys always complained that our King Air always flew Monday through Friday and always for business and their Lear sat all week and only flew on the weekends and only flew for whores and golf. "<o></o>
<o></o>
I apologize to those who feel i was given to folly over Polly, but to Mr Mohammed Achmed , an abject Mia Culpa , it was insensitive of me to have strained the limits of moral turpitude by having added a trollop to your aircraft .<o></o>

I do like her better now that I've gotten to know her.

cheers,

The lady in question as imaged from the camera view provided , a flexible mesh model with three sets of bones , one for the wrist spinning the water glass ( also animated ) , another set for the head and neck and a last pair in the left foot , i was trying to make her look impatient , and a bit like Annie Lennox.

I got mine from Just Flight will you be uploading the update to their site?

 

[Chuck_Jodry-VJPL]

Just Flight and the other Resellers were all notified and linked up with the new installers Friday, about half got the update posted the same day and others ( Just Flight ) will have it up today i hope, i will go through the list and ensure all are up to date.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>

The one exception is PC Pilot, they have not replied to any correspondence for some time and have become a concern for Xtreme Prototypes and a number of other companies, some of whom have pulled their products, it’s quite possible that there will be further issues to resolve if client services cannot be properly attended .<o></o>

We pulled all of our stuff off of PC Pilot three weeks ago.
