Thomas, really appreciated the effort. No problems with your accent at all. I could hear alt all right

. You sound pretty fluent in english which means your presentation didnt suffer from not being able to express yourself, even the few words and expressions that didnt come easily to hand, didnt really impact on it. So my advice is to not worry about how you sound, it sounds quite clear and fluent to me. I think good enough for sale of DVD or instructional stream, after all usually I have to put up with ameriacn or english accent and yours is much more melodious to the ear.

(I hope I not offend anyone, after all the Kiwi or australian accent is unique too) Some areas you could improve. It did seem that you became a bit more tired towards the end from concentrating, and I wondered if the event was a bit too long and you were trying to cover too much at once, and might be better broken into a couple of parts. I did learn some stuff so it was a good experience for me like Mykl. The worst aspect was you have a technical glitch at the end with the extra background mesh when trying to explain the geometry HD and this distracted you from then on. I think cntl-N might have cleared the background mesh for you but I my old internet computer not up to being logged into chat at the same time. You were concerned also if the sculpting was visible sometimes with no feedback, well it was, if it could be seen on my old monitor with its dying green screen then it could be seen on anything, so whatever compression you had worked fine, even the finest stuff you did was perfectly visible, you could even reduce some of the intensity of your brushes. The resolution was a little larger than my massive 15" screen but hey what did I expect, it didnt matter I could scroll around when required. I think to be a truely professional level it would be better to have separate preprepared models easily at hand to demonstrate each feature, I know this was a test broadcast but I think that would improve the structure and time usage of the demo. I hope my comments help, anthing you want to ask let me know.

I think overall it was great and look forward to other polystreams, with some practice makes perfect, and really appreciate what you put into it. I feel quite inspired. I hope you are able to make some business of it. Thomas salut.
