Drop me a line at Sun Dave, if you would (jeffrey.kesselman@sun.com)

I’d love to knwo more about what you are doing. This was actually one of those areas I went “if only I had a clone Id be working on” 8) I think The Movies and the reactiosn top it, both positive and negative, has proved that there is a strong market for some real Machinema tools. And it plays into an area Ive been very interested in for interactive content for a long time which is 3D intelligent actors…
