2002 XTR Group - sorry about that. I added the date to differentiate from the new XTR stuff and blew it anyway. Pffft. No one offers more component value than Giant. Your road bike opinion is as misguided as most hiker's opinions of MTB'ers.

Reply to Donationware - should you pay the author for their skins? (discuss) in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Well don't expect much. I don't mean that to sound like your skins aren't worthy, but the majority sentiments are: A: The "free!" crowd obviously won't donate. B: Other skinners often feel like they've "paid their dues" already by skinning for public consumption. C: The "typical" user when confronted with the minor moral conflict of donating or walking off with a freebie with no consequence, will opt not to donate. I think that setting up the donation service, and actua

Do just about anything on your computer and notice if the computer is waiting on you, or you're waiting on the computer. Disclaimer: Bryce renders or other pure processing time not included. Actual creation and input is what I'm speaking of.

Reply to 3d modeling, look what I found, this is amazing!!!!! in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Styl, I use 3D studio MAX ver 5.1 (just upgraded) for the bulk of my modeling and rendering. Some of my modeling I accomplish with various CAD tools including AutoCAD 2000, Unigraphics, and AutoDesk Inventor. I'll use these when it's job related or there's a high level of dimensional accuracy involved. From those programs, I'll export a .3DS file and import it into MAX. In MAX, I'll assign materials, do any animation setup, and create appropriate lighting. Rendering is done mostly with

"Or would they prefer a WB4 release for XP to be in say March and then Win9X show up in Fall of this year?" Probably. I use Win2K at work since XP is not our corporately supported OS. I think the current version of WB skins almost every conceivable control in Win2K, so that wouldn't bother me if there was a delay for Win2000. The stuff like skincast doesn't really interest me too much. The poll makes it sound like WB would be an XP only product - as if it wouldn't run under 200
