Great to hear from you again, MM.

I fully agree with what you're saying, and Part 6 (when it EVENTUALLY surfaces) will probably more styled in the same way that Part 4 was. Part 4 did take a year to do (on and off), and part 5 took only around 2 months (can't remember how much of it was active work), but this Part 6 thing is already taking much longer than Part 5 and all I have so far are some 3D shots of an airborne chase and a lot of voice over work for the rest. So, wish me luck. It's ONLY the fans of this series (all 6 of them) that still make me do this.

Thank you for your support.

Thanks Slash. You've always been a great supporter of this and I owe a lot of this to you.

Thanks - then I have achieved my goal - the graphics are just a tool to tell a story. Some people use a half baked story to satisfy their need to simply produce graphics.
I hope I can meet your expectations with regard to the upcoming Part 6.

Hiya - thanks for the review. To answer your question:
Buildings, vehicles and backdrops done with 3D Studio Max. I used version 3 - its all I got, and i have not been able to learn to use Blender as quickly as Max, and the emphasis is on speed when i do these things.
Audio editing on Audacity.
Music done with Reason 4.
All 2D graphics done in Gimp, and obviously Flash to put it all together.
Operating system is Linux - Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy, with Virtual Box to run Reason and 3D Studio, and Wine to run Flash 8.
