Well...dunno if you could even call it a 'return', since I never really had a strip up, BUT...<P>It's been several months since I did anythign with the site, but I haven't been <i>completely</i> idle...and some good things have happened since then.<P>Good thing #1: I was able to convince my employer that, if they wanted me to do any presentation graphics work for them, they needed to buy me the latest version of TrueSpace (v5.0, then, and it was $799). They did. YAY! No more working on 2.0, which was 16-bit and slow slow slow!<P>Good thing #2: I got my 300 MHz Celeron laptop with 96MB of RAM replaced with a 700MHz PIII with 256, so I won't go insane when I'm trying to do rendering stuff on the laptop anymore. Also, I bumped my home machine up to a 700MHz Athlon Thunderbird with 640MB of RAM, so there's some serious processing power available to me, FINALLY.<P>Good thing #3: I recently ALSO convinced my company that, since I own Poser, and since they had bought me TrueSpace, that it would be cool for me to be able to use Poser people in TrueSpace for work presentations (... <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/wink.gif">...). BUT, in order to do that successfully, I'd need them to buy me a little plugin called TruePose, which is designed to do just that.<P>They bought it. WOO! And with that, the final major <I>technical</i> stumbling block for <B>Duality</B> has disintegrated! Now I just need to make/find time to get going again.<P>And last but not least, I got some new models for my apps, and have completely redesigned Kaja. Someday I'll do a before and after thing, but for the moment, here she is:<P><img src="http://duality.keenspace.com/images/DualityLace2001.jpg" height="600" width="400"><P>Comments, criticisms, anything? Talk to me, folks - I know there are still a few people waiting to see what happens... <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/smile.gif"><P>-Shannon
