I suppose I should be dignified (5.00 / 4) (#1)

But that is downright WoOOTable! Impressive!

Thanks -- Kfred (5.00 / 2) (#2)

Would make one heck of a "front door" (5.00 / 1) (#3)

I know enough about it to be dangerous - as usual. After my morning app't I may generate some ideas on it for use.

Been thinking about some thing for the front (5.00 / 1) (#4)

of investigates... running off a discussion with wanderindiana one day.

: might have to draw (5.00 / 2) (#5)

the collar up and around her face a little more closely, though, no?
Cool front door for sure!

This is Awesome!! (5.00 / 2) (#6)

We have to add this as a permanent link. Twenty years later we need a Max Headroom more than ever. We can offer our own unique version with a true virtually produced product.

Great job, Cho!

: thanks, Jeff (5.00 / 2) (#9)

it's nothing like the important work you are doing, but I keep trying to find ways to contribute!
uh, er, find ways to twist BH's arm to contribute!
I should add, that he did so quite gladly!

Ok... (5.00 / 3) (#11)

I clicked over last night and suddenly ePM was talking to me. I thought "Damn! I must be tired? I am hearing voices in my head..." I scroll down a bit and I see this. Cool! (Not just because I realize that I haven't lost my mind.)

: aw ...a firefox user! (5.00 / 2) (#12)

another reason for YouTube... but dang, I hate the degraded graphics from their Flash compression!

Firefox (5.00 / 2) (#13)

This looks absolutely lovely to me--Firefox and all. I am stunned. Max would fall in love at first s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-ii-i-i-i-i-i-g-g-g-g-g-gh-h-h-ht-t-t-!

I'm getting to this party a little late (5.00 / 2) (#14)

but I really like what I'm seeing here.

The question is how long did it take, and how easy will it be to change it as the situation dictates? Can we get her to introduce stories? And what's her name? I love the hat and purple shirt... she's quite stylish in a CodePink (or is it CodePurple) kind of way!

: Hi Tim! Now that she is 'built' (5.00 / 1) (#15)

fairly easy to change what she 'says' -- and the corresponding mouth movements. Hand, etc. positions a little more time.
Since she's a full blown figure -- can get all different sorts of views.
Tools...poser, truespace (might have been lightwave also, I have to ask), soundforge, mimic and one of the movie makers, I am not sure which one.
