Plan for Phil Carlisle

Well, been hacking away at the book all weekend, submitted monday night.. just waiting for some peer review right now. My first article in a book Woo! (first serious article maybe).
Other buzzing.. well, Ive been photoshopping my ass off trying to make some decent looking controls. I'm still not proficient by any means, and could REALLY use a nice 2D artist helping me out with these interface issues.
What did I do? well, I wish I could post an image, cus I'm quite happy with myself for my artistry :) its simple enough to code, but whats code without gfx in huds? Anyway, its a pretty funky speedo. I'll go into more detail on huds and general hud coding in a tutorial I intend to do once Ive got everything I want sorted.
Still, its progress of one form or another :)
Phil.
PS: Machinema.. definitely something on my list, please drop me a line if your a machinema fan and want to have some input as to what a machinema interface needs to do to be useful (so we can make some nice V12 movie's and demos).
PPS: if you dont know what it is? its simply computer based movies.. taken from the old quake demo editing world into quite complex "movies". V12 is the IDEAL platform for that, in that its cheap, does everything you need, and essentially is WYSIWYG out the yin-yang! :)
