Here's a transcript folks.
Happy Holidays!
===========
It is good to meet you at the end of this memorable year. 2007 was a good year for our community. We released trueSpace7.5 which despite its point numbering was a major upgrade in trueSpace line.
[developer2] says:
trueSpace7.5 added very powerful character animation tools with full body IK and physically based skeletons, soft paint, displacement paint, advanced snapping and inference guides, SDS improvements, COLLADA export, V-Ray rendering was moved to workspace, we introduced darker look and feel and much more.
With the release of 7.5 our already fledging scripter community started to thrive and it is a major factor of trueSpace7.5 success. I want to thank all the great script guys for their truly magnificent contribution to Caligari content. And that is still just a beginning, we expect great things from scripters once trueSpace7.6 is released.
I promise that 2008 will bring at least as significant product introductions as trueSpace7.5 brought in 2007. We will be removing last legacy components left in the code freeing it to fly with 64 bit support, even better multi-core support and a whole lot of new functionality.
I am not at liberty to discuss individual new features specifically other than to say that they will be great and that they will improve functionality in all existing main areas.
trueSpace7.5 already proved that our new architecture allows us to add new functionality quickly, what is even more important this architecture is open and our growing community of developers, scripters and progressive artists will have a new kind of online 3D environment where they will be able to add their value to Caligari content and grow our markets exponentially.
I firmly believe that 2008 will be the year when our new architecture will fully shine making everyone in the industry to notice, everyone! |

Well I really hope that the character animation side of things are fully fledged in 7.6. Looking forward to getting TS up and running on my Mac in Bootcamp (Hopefully I will eventually be able to run it in VMware fusion so no need to reboot to run it.)
I may be quiet on the forums but that doesn't mean I am not still experimenting . ;)
Cheers folks.

I'm honored that the joint Christmas ornament entry from Kena and myself was chosen as the winner :) - I thought they were all beautiful! (can I go back to collect them?)
That was a great party! .. and Congrats to 3dfrog, too!!
Kena, thanks very much for letting me choose the charity to receive the prize donation! I wasn't sure to whom I should email this, but I suspect posting it here will work just as well, so here it is:
The charity is called Inter-Faith Council for Social Services and the check can be made out to them. If you add Community Kitchen in the note area of the check, they will know how to direct the money.
The address is:IFC
110 W. Main Street
Carrboro NC 27510
Many thanks, Caligari, for awarding such a wonderful prize!
^_^
EDIT: I have emailed this information mailto:thomas@caligari.com from my work address (amber) at UNC Chapel Hill. |

I think it's just a slight touch of the flu. Don't know what's worst, the flu or drinking those damn Lemsips to get rid of it! YUCK!!! |
