Hi everyone, I'm now back from vacation and will try to catch up with everything that has been going on over the past few weeks. Service will soon be back to normal :o)

Dave

I'm going to be away from the office for the next two weeks, so I probably won't be able to update the site much in that time. Keep on sending any news items or updates that you think I should know about, I'll post everything when I get back.

Quad Chamfer Proxy is a read-only version of the commercial Quad Chamfer modifier. It allows scenes that contain the Quad Chamfer modifier to be loaded on machines that don't have a licence for the Quad Chamfer modifier. It is primarily intended for network rendering and working in a team enviroment. It has no parameters, it just takes the parameters that were saved in the scene and reconstructs the result of the normal Quad Chamfer modifier.

Changes for v0.4 are:
- The script now supports all resolutions from 16x16 to 8196x8196

I've just realised that today is the twelfth anniversary of this site officially going online. I normally do a post with all sorts of statistics and numbers of plugins, but I don't have any of the data at hand right now. All I can say is that I'm glad that the site is still going, and that you all keep coming back, even though the look and feel of this place could do with a coat of paint.

Thanks also to the few people who have actually helped to support the site over the years by clicking on the Donate button on the left! You know who you are, and this place might well have disappeared by now if it wasn't for your support.
