sgtglennsmith - Hello there.
I'm one of the Dazaholics over at 3DGladiators.com.
There are a few of us over there and the site has some nice p4 props that can easily be converted to work with the Mil People.
I do my modeling (which I suck at) in 3DsMax v8 and I used to do my space shots in Lightwave v.9 but since I found a way to get LWO quality (or very close depending on how critical you are) out of my Carrara Pro 6 I've been doing over 90% of my animating in that app.
Feel free to bounce a rock off my head over at the sister site.
I'm usually there through out the day and since I spend a lot of time animating I'm usually also at a computer or two.
On the hangover thing --- You know, when you brew your own beer you never get a hangover. Or at least I haven't had one yet and I've brewed some pretty strong beers.
Right now I'm carbonating a batch of Vienna Lager with an abv of 9.2%.
