Re: [pigeoncide-devel] More on the animations issue

[Marc Modrow]

I am finally back to the net for the moment (still moving in and out 
until the 5th or 6t of jan). I actually beleive there is an option for 
inverting the normals. I will look into that asap. As for the animations 
I beleive Ville created about 5-7 animations for the boy and I did about 
7-9 for the pigeon. I don't have my laptop around atm and no max on my 
desktop machine, so I'll have to look into that later. Do you still have 
an http-link to the repository? I have no svn client on this machine and 
my mail client on this machine has not archived the first mails from you.
