Beating a dead horse?

Remember this plan (www.garagegames.com/index.php?sec=mg&mod=resource&page=view&qid=7297)by Robert Brower from March 2005?
There was a lot of interest in his horse pack, and it seemed things were moving forward. Mostly because of comments like this one Robert wrote in September:
The pictures are all gone, but there is a video of the horse pack in this plan by Eric Elwell from Sept. 2005 (www.garagegames.com/blogs/17248/8750)?
For nearly a year we heard that release was imminent, but now its been months since Robert has even logged on to the forums. Has anyone heard anything about the fate of the horse pack?
I know I'm not the only one very disappointed. And yes, I know there is another horse pack out there that works with Torque. I own it, but I don't think it compares (yet?) with what is in that movie.

Quote:I am moving forward with this. I submitted it to the good folks at GarageGames. They are as excited about it as me! But before I release it, I need to identify an artist who might be able to help with a final tweak. I need to fix a seam and gather a little more info on the hard work that Danny Ngan has done. We've spent far too long on it to release anything less than perfect. This person must have 3d studio max version 7. If anyone is interested, I will gladly contract you to help. My email address is in my profile. Thanks for your patience!

Quote:Aha! I may have something interesting to show yet! One project that I was able to recover was the horse pack: www.thetextureguy.com/screenies/tstHorse3.wmv
^ This clip ^ shows my work as the texture artist. (It was a load of fun syncing the clips with the animation running ;) ) As a matter of fact, if you're interested in the pack, the video only covers the major textures, there are more.

Needless to say, I'm very excited about the future of this pack!
