And now, it's the turn of Markl and Turnip with their shading and wireframe turntables.

 
Round and round and round...

Character modelling tasks are complete and no more vertices will be tweaked ["never say never", I know, but I thrive on optimism...].

So it's time to complete the texturing tasks [and the shading, don't forget the shading my friend] and work on the final scene.

But for this news, we decided to do not post any single shot. This is the time to round and round and round..

 
THR3aD #004 - english version

In September 2009 we released the #004 in Italian and, so far, we registered about 1500 downloads.

Since we don't like to leave our discussion in the middle, we won't only release in English from the #005, but we're also translating the previous ones.

So, my friends, hurry up to download and read the "new" #004, with its 20 pages finally understandable in every angle of this sphere called Earth.
