NYC Comicon - Saturday was sold out so I will go Sunday

I'll be sending a list of feature requests to Fahim, and I recommend that others do the same. The decision to add certain features is handled by majority vote. In other words, we decide. If Fahim sees enough requests for a certain feature, they will put it in, simple as that. They haven't made any decisions yet, but that time is coming soon

I think Feature Request subforum is the good channel to post the list of feature request for the next version of AS, instead of emailing feature request list to Fahim. I my opinion better bones will be the philosophal stone of this program. So I it is neccesary to give support for this feature!!!

See my feature requets pool for next generation bones (only 5 votes and none reply... <sigh>).
Please vote in this pool and make suggestions and/or comments in the thread. Imagine if Heyvern can do a 2.5 rig now with actual features, what can be done with those new ones???

Genete,

I have to apologize. I was mispronouncing your name... in my head. It was cleared up yesterday but I am still getting used to the new pronunciation and may occasionally mispronounce it... in my head.

The correct way sounds so much cooler than what I was thinking anyway.. it requires an extra syllable though and I am very lazy.

Dear heyvern: I supouse you were thinking in my "springy rig" during your 2.5D head demonstration.... isn't it?

...Sorry but I don't understand you. My english understanding is limited and I did not understand what do you want to say with your last post. You should talk to me as I were a child

Sorry for that, but PlEaSe!!! would you explain it to me with a straightofrward language??

(You can do it with a PM of course...

)

Thanks

I never actually spoke your name out loud during the demonstration but said it to DarthFurby who corrected me.

I was pronouncing it with a hard "G" (gato) and two syllables -

like this (Gen - et)

It was just "inside my head" not out loud.

I have a cousin who teaches Spanish. I really should talk to him and find out what I can change in my writing style to make it easier to understand.

What *is* the proper way? I've been wondering about this for a long time. I've been internally pronouncing it "jhe-neh-teh" ("jhe" as in the english word "version").

Touched,

That is correct.

I never thought mi nike would be a pronunciation problem!!!!

If you are interested I will tell you the story of the name.
One time I was talking (e-mail) with my girlfriend about a buy that I was doing during the evening (it was a mattress). She asked me if about if I made finally the buying because I was unsure about the model. I said: "No la hice porque había mucha gente" (I didn't it because there were a lot of people). But the problem was that I wrote genete instead of gente. It made her a lot of funny and due to this Genete was "born". After that we both made grow Genete's joke and finally he is alive in our own complicity. In fact Genete is like a small man that is emulated by our walking fingers like a puppet. It is a romantic story that I hope you respect as far you respect to me.
I'm glad to share it with you.

And here the pronunciation file.

Then Genetita was born. And we play togehter with Genete and Genetita ...

Cheers!!!
Genete

I like the story! And thanks for the mp3 -- I see I was still a little wrong until now.

I love that story. It is very romantic. Thanks for sharing.

Mike has a day job working for Adobe. How's that for competition? E-frontier seems to feel that Anime Studio is no threat to Adobe,

Wait a minute...

What if Adobe feels Anime Studio is a threat to Flash? They could claim that Mike has used Adobe internal secrets (gleaned from his job) in AS and shut the whole thing down.

And is anyone actually developing AS full time at the moment?

I was in a good mood today until I read this.

heyvern · Post by **heyvern** » Tue Feb 27, 2007 4:44 pm

No worries.

AS is fully supported at e-frontier. The program kicks arse and practically sells itself if you try the demo.

Whatever Mike's employment situation is I am sure it isn't some big secret. Moho existed long before Adobe bought out MM.

I wouldn't fret over Mike's "day job".

Vern,

I meant develop as in programming.

The problem with more sales is you have more users, with more compatibility problems and more bugs. Not everyone likes workarounds. You need to spend more programming resources on those basic needs before you can put the fun stuff in that we all want.

If it's still just Mike programming, my guess would be that cool stuff development will be slower than it was before e-Frontier, at least until there's enough money in the kitty to hire a full time programmer to help out.

As promised, I'm back with some pictures from the NY Comicon held at the Jacob Javitz Center last week.

Here is the longest line I have ever waited on in my entire life.

Shortly after I took this picture, a grown man with a yoda backpack started running around.

Welcome to NY Comicon.

Here I am again, waiting on line:

If you're starting to think "Man, this guy really sucks at photography," you'd be right. And it gets better. I only took 4 photos. Yeah, FOUR. You just saw the first two.

Want to see more pictures of that line? Ha ha.

The horror continues.

Remember the money shot? The one with heyvern stepping behind the e-frontier booth with Fahim and Mark?

FUCK ME:

For what it's worth, the black blob on the left is Mark, on the right is Fahim, with heyvern at center.

I took one last picture, but this time the Camera Gods were with me.

Say hello, everyone, there's a new sheriff in town.

This is heyvern!
