Hmm.. should write a letter of correction.. I did the model.. but the textures for the TSE Orc were done by Weston Tracy, who is going to be putting out a killer content pack very soon BTW.

And you lent John David Funge your model for the cover of his book?

I beleive that he asked GarageGames for permission. I saw it for the first time many months ago on some website, and I was surprised myself.. kind of cool though to see stuff you worked on show up on a book cover.

Good job. In some fields of endeavour, how often you are cited/quoted/copied matters more than how often you are published.

Funny thing about the Torque pictures is that about half of them have the Torque mouse cursor in them...including the cover shot!

I've flipped through the book a few times...decent intro to the concepts of AI programming....would be useful to sit down and read in an afternoon (~70 pages) so that you could then converse intelligently with an AI programmer or read deeper papers on it.Funny thing about the Torque pictures is that about half of them have the Torque mouse cursor in them...including the cover shot!
