    Hi Nikolaus. I got this ebook the other day, as I was really into the last chapter on 3d objects- great tutorial btw.

    Can you shoot me an email to discuss some things about making some other shaped objects, and viewing .stl files in processing?

    Cheers! Jared

    I have made the mission in chapter 6, chapter 3 and now I am trying to complete chapter 2. I successfully completed the first exercise in chapter 2 and the in the second exercise I kept getting an error: cannot find anything named "SimpleOpenNi.SKEL_PROFILE_ALL" when I reduce the code to context.enableUser(); I then get an error; the function getUsersPixels() does not exist. Can you help?

    Hi, my name is Jose from spain watching your work on your web local guru it seemed very interesting to me, i was thinking making a kind of document (a pdf or html) that could be downloaded to study it offline. much based on your works on local guru and the works of blender sushi, plus Liero posts in blenderartist . It would be free to download to make it easiest to study itfor people whith bad or no web access around the world. You think is an interesting idea?
