We’re giving away free stuff!!!

So.. me and Steve we’re talking over the weekend and we decided as this is 2012, year of impending doom, we’ll sift through our digital waste bin and make a section on our website to give away all the bits of 3D models, Nuke Scripts, Realflow set ups, Rigs etc that we’ve never used.. and it’ll stay there until 21st December 2012, in which timer you can use them for what ever you feel fit. So… watch the space, we’ll have something in place by midweek.
