Really? I'll unzip it and see what happened. I could have sworn I named each mat zone as I textured it. I'll get back to you and let you know what I find.

Not going to happen! I don't delete Christmas lists!
Just check it out and let me know. Maybe I'll upload it here....

Rokket, I know it's going to be difficult to tell the kids they are adopted but from what I saw happen to a friend years ago it's best to tell them while they are young. Some things like that some kids just take in stride. At least you can show them that you two love then and care enough about them to make them family.
What happened to my friend was that he was in his 30s and seriously thinking about getting married. His parents decided that since he was thinking that then he needed to know that he was adopted and his birth mother was the woman who had died recently that he's always called his aunt. His world fell apart and he ended the relationship with the girl he had asked to marry him.

Your mother dealt with some silly people. Even as a child I knew that for a blued eyed redhead to have kids with the same coloration the father would have to be blue eyed and either red or blond. If he wasn't then the kids would most likely have his coloration instead of hers.

She is going to tell them, but I wanted to do it when they were of an age that they would understand it. My daughter is now 14 and going to be 15 in May. My son is going to be 9. They are definitely old enough. But the longer she waits, the harder it gets for her to do. I may have to break the bubble myself when I get ready to move my family to the states. Questions are going to be asked that need answers with immigration...

Thanks! I did the whole thing in about 3 hours. I was on a time crunch because I found out about the contest on the last day.That is nice work.
Yes, I know it! She was all fire Celt in appearance. All of my Celt and Slavic blood comes from her side.
My sperm donor was part Native, Italian, and had a tiny bit of Spanish (as in Spain, not Mexico!), Dutch, and German in him.
So, both us girls wound up with black hair/eyes (me) and dark brown hair/brown eyes (my sister). People can really make a lot of assumptions. LOL
Rokket, It's possible that the kids won't be all that upset. They might ask questions. But if the only parents they've known is the two of you, then you all will still be Mom and Dad, with or without the knowledge of adoption. Just my thoughts.
I have a lot of respect for people who adopt, who take children into their home to raise. I never understood why some folks view it as such a taboo thing to tell the kids they were adopted or fostered.

Thanks! I will be uploading it to ShareCG tonight, so I'll post a link as soon as it's there.

I don't have any problem telling them the truth. We lost 4 children during pregnancy to miscarriage and spontaneous abortion. Her womb couldn't carry a baby to term. So she has a lot of issues with the whole thing. I am going to talk to her when I get home in April and we will tell them both at that time. It's gone on far too long. My daughter already suspects something isn't right. She can look at me and herself and knows there are none of my features in her.

I looked at the .obj file of that press, and there are some hard edges on it and a few other newbie modeling mistakes on it. I fought the urge to remodel it. I will post it as is. Like I said, it renders really nice. And since there are a lot of people who render renaissance type stuff, this should fit in nicely with that. You could even Steampunk it up if you wanted to.
