Happy New Year everyone 🙂 Nigel / 3DKiwi

I had no idea you were in Croatia as well otherwise I would have expressed concern for both you and Hrvoje. In fact, I checked your profile and the location said Germany before posting as I thought you had some ties to Croatia. I know...horrible when the earthquakes or hurricanes hit. We even have earthquakes in New Hampshire (which is very rare - I guess that is why we are known as the Granite State) but the worst we had was a 3.0 and that put a crack in our wall and ceiling. But we have lived through all manner of storms, ice storms, blizzards, hurricanes and new events such as cyclonic bombs and "winter-canes" (a blizzard with hurricane force winds). Nothing like trying to sleep through the night when you can hear trees cracking and hitting the ground from all the snow at least once or twice an hour. A really good exercise for your core is dragging a fallen tree or huge branch through about 2 feet of snow so you can get out of your front door. After spending 6 hours clearing out the yard, a tree branch came crashing down right next to me. Just a year prior to that "winter-cane", a cracked tree branch was stuck in a tree after a storm and then fell the next day to hit and paralyze a women in our town.....so I was freaked. On top of all that we had no power. Loosing power in the winter is pretty awful....just watching the sun set and knowing that the house will be getting dark and cold. We did get a generator about 6 years ago and amazingly haven't lost power since. That is one purchase I do NOT mind not getting my money's worth from. Again, I hope all your families are safe both now through the new year. Dave

Happy New Year to all Cafe members! I was thinking of unleashing the destructive power of X-Particles on a "2020" banner but by the time I am done with it, it would by February. Nevertheless, my deepest gratitude to all the Cafe moderators for your dedication through-out the year and our esteemed Community Leaders: Igor and Hrvoje. I also hope Hrvoje is doing well given the earthquakes in Croatia. Having experienced a 4.5 earthquake that scared the daylights out of me (no fun watching a building wobble), I can only imagine the 6.3 one that hit Croatia (a 100 times stronger). Hopefully the epicenter was no where near him....but if not, I wish him and his family the best. 2020 is ending soon....you will get through this. Take care everyone and Happy New Year. Please stay safe and healthy. Dave

I've been working on texturing a BMW 315 PS DA 2 for a texturing contest over at thepixellab for the last couple of days. Finally finished it 🙂 Pictures are in 4k, so please have a look at them in all their glory!
