    • davidh7426

      Congratulations to all three of you…

      …

      But just wait till he does his first ‘Fluid Sim’, without the aid of a daiper… you’ll be reaching for the Shift-X keys to clean it up… :):)

    • Goofster

      Gefeliciteerd Bart! Veel succes en plezier de komende tijd.

    • musk

      Welcome to the club. Hope everything goes well.
      @wolfmanyoda: Not always. My kid slept almost 4hours in one piece befor crying for thirst or diaperchange.

    • Soldieroscar

      Congrats, Ive got a 3 month old. I hope you like coffee!

    • http://www.bchynds.com BrianH

      Congratulations! Looks like you got some nice modeling skills, and the UV mapping is very realistic! Add some vector particles with hair strand rendering and you’ll be set! Looks like you’ll be cleaning up your .blend after some messy FluidSim tests. Should be as easy as Appending a new diaper object from the diaperbag.blend file. Just wait till more actions are added in the IPO’s for some awesome walkcycles, then some of your other scene elements will need to be edited for repair.

      Aside from all the Blender jokes, I wish you and your family well. God Bless. :)

    • http://www.viseal.de sen

      Congratulations!

      @davidh7426: ‘Fluid Sim’ LOL great :)
