The Valenstine exhibition gallery has been removed and the pictures in it have been moved into the to main gallery.  The Forum for the exhibition has been locked and made into a subforum of the old projects forum group.  The forum for the calendar has also been moved to the old projects group, but there may be a need for a few more message to be posted there, so it has not been locked.  A new forum has been created for the  Forgotten Posette Stuff project, and three topics have been moved into it.

Thank you pangor   !

Also for support of the new interest in RenderMan compatible software, have added a RenderMan shaders Category in the freestuff under the textures category.  With how these softwares arrived from their developers, they have a number of shaders, but are lacking many of the key ones that we would need for our kinds of artwork.  Therefore, if these programs are going to be useful for us, we will have to collect redistributable shaders to share and write more of them on our own.  Rather than having them floating around as attachments to various messages, this new category can be used to gather our shader resources all in one place.

I have already uploaded the source code of an experimental public domain skin shader.

Thanks Pangor!  

Very good idea!
