seems like you had a good time even with the bad weather you said you had there. I pushed this so I have to ask... how did you like the food???:)
The best thing at the beaches in SJ is not the ocean breeze or the warm waters.... is the view my man, is the view...;)

I'm sure! there is nothing like a good puertorrican home cooked meal! Did you guys go to "el morro"? that is one of the most visited places in SJ.
to say you're "chained to your desk at NewTek" you get about a bit Proton!!!
come on admit it, it's one big holiday working for NT!!! ;)
WilliamVaughan
10-16-2003, 02:40 PM
Working for NewTek has been a blast.....it's alot of work but getting to meet users from all over the world has been a treat!

Great Pictures....That water looks so warm...our Pacific waters are always freezing....
Was the Living Forest done using LightWave?... I always thought that was Maya...
Titus
10-16-2003, 08:03 PM
Yeah, the Living Forest DVD shows clearly people working with Maya.
RuiFeliciano
10-17-2003, 05:52 AM
I'm curious about that myself. I thought Dygra Films was a Maya house. At least The Living Forest was undoubtely done with Maya.
WilliamVaughan
10-17-2003, 08:09 AM
The Living Forest was Maya....it is a great film and should be in everyones collection!
klarsen
10-17-2003, 09:09 AM
Living Forest huh??, any english dubbed versions available?
WilliamVaughan
10-17-2003, 09:16 AM
Not yet...I'm hoping that someone in the states will pick it up and start distributing it....who ever does will make good money!
Titus
10-17-2003, 10:34 AM
I know, a little off topic.
It's a shame The Living Forest (El bosque animado) didn't made well on the box office. And wasn't distributed outside Spain.
WilliamVaughan
10-17-2003, 11:13 AM
It actually did quite well in Spain and parts of Europe....They are still trying to get it to the US....I'm trying my best to help!
klarsen
10-17-2003, 12:19 PM
I wonder if ADV FIlms here in Houston would distribute it? They distribute Anime, but maybe they would want to branch out to other genres.
WilliamVaughan
10-17-2003, 03:15 PM
I'll send them a link and see what happens....great idea!
