As you may or may not know, I have some Mechanisto tutorial material on my site, and I haven't updated it in a long time or even particularly... finished it. I was just wondering if there's enough interest in modeling in Mechanisto to make it worthwhile to go back and do some more work on it.

Also, I'd welcome anyone else's contributions to the tutorial: I'm sure that people have figured out things with Mech that I have no idea how to do, and also that there are people who can explain things more clearly and completely than I.

Finally, I now have more web space than I really know what to do with, so I'd be happy to set up an EV/Mechanisto image gallery/hosting space, to allow yet more people to see what Mechanisto can do!

Respond here or email me if you're interested.

Let fimwat know about your guides, I'm sure he'd love them on his (url="http://"http://www.oxy-web.com/evnep/tutorials.html")tutorials site(/url). As you may or may not know, he's putting together a huge collection to ultimately help people work for (url="http://"http://www.oxy-web.com/evnep/")EVNEP(/url) or just have an easier time making their own.

I'll contribute some stuff about modelling and applying texture maps effectively.

Alright, the site is now up in the new location: (url="http://"http://squibix.net/mech-ev/")http://squibix.net/mech-ev/(/url)

I'll email you, Nick, when I get things a little more together.

Sure. I'd love to show off my best stuff on the EV/Mechanisto gallery, but unfortunately it's all from a parallel universe in Rift which I promised myself I wouldn't reveal...

I know about your tutorial. You may or may not remember me trying to 'de-bug' it for you.
I have some half decent work you could toss in the gallery if you like, you can get a look at it in the gallery here. I could give some handy tips for working with lathe objects, other than that I'm not sure what I could contribute.
