This is a fun interview. Lots of laughing. I think there is little editing, so the audio has an enjoyable, natural, impromptu ambience. But, it is hard to tell about the editing as good editing can retain the feel. That it has the feel and it comes through is the enjoyable part.

04:00 TM – How did they get started?
06:: TM – Men’s clothing.
06:40 TM – How Paolla got started.
09:30 TM – Tech – What software do they use for their creative work? ZBrush (US$795 – 14 Day free trial), 3D Max, Maya, TopoGun (US$100 – I think this is the one) , GIMP, Photoshop (a new PS version is out), Substance Painter (US$149/$300 or $19.90 x 16 months), Blender (free). ZBrush is the main tool for Rucy.

I enjoyed the podcast. The opiate high from the Narco helps, but I’m taking a pretty small dosage so I doubt it has much effect… If you are into fashion and clothes design, I think you’ll enjoy it.
Rucy Byron has a web site where he gets into a bit more about render weight. See: !APHORISM! A Brief Discussion About Render Weight. I am rather pleased several of my articles on render weight are listed. J
I am even happier to see Rucy listing Render Weight in his blog articles on new clothing releases. See: Shiny Shabby.

Thanks for saying. Opiates are great for pain, but not so good for concentration or attention to detail.
Glad you enjoyed the podcast. Thank you for the mention.
