Suggestion for Philip

Hey Philip you have made one of the best tutorials on the net.Thanks for helping us.So i have a suggestion for the next tutorial.Why dont you make a tutorial where you will show us how to make a texture in PhotoShop.And that texture to use them for UV maps for the face ,eyes and everything.
Thanks for reading this
Regards

He has alot of tutorials in the works already. I'm sure he or our new tutorial guru will soon enough.

...if one of the Photoshop guys don't do it first. ;)

At the end of the Head Modeling Tut Philip says he will be continuing the Head to details and textures etc doesnt he?

Hopefully thats sooon ;)

Great stuff though, wish there was more...

LOL glad your enjoying it cuse....

Yep he is working on a few things right now, he has the fish / head / maclaren and now is also working on the DVD`s that we will hopefully be releasing around xmas time :)

But with peter just starting with us - this will release the pressure on Phil a bit :)

yea its all good, im eating it all up when i can. It would be cool if there was something more on building an organic scene? - More trees, flowers etc? maybe thats something we can suggest for a tut? There's the big Alienware challenge going on til Jan so it would be nice to see a picket fenced house in the regular world without chaos and aliens ;)

Thanks for everything tho guys...

In perl or PHP its very simple I'll use perl for this example.

Code:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;

use DBI;

use CGI;



my $q = new CGI;



my $dbh;

eval {

$dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:database='db name';host='localhost';port='3306'",'serverUser','serverPass')

    or die "Cant connect to Db $DBI::errstr\n";

};



if ($@) { graceful_error($DBI::errstr); };



my %c = Apache::Cookie->fetch;

my $logedin_status = exists $c{bbuserid} ? $c{bbuserid}->value() : undef;

my $password = exists $c{bbpassword} ? $c{bbpassword}->value() : undef;



my $sth = $dbh->prepare("SELECT `username`, `password`, `usergroupid` FROM `user` WHERE `userid`=? AND `password`=?");



eval {

    $sth->execute($logedin_status, $password )

        or die;

};

if ($@) { graceful_error($DBI::errstr); };



my $hr_user = $sth->fetchrow_hashref('NAME_lc');



if (!$hr_user->{'username'}) {

    print $q->header;

    print "Sorry you do not have permission to access this download";

    exit(1);

} elsif ($hr_user->{'usergroupid'} == 3) {

    print $q->header;

    print "We have found a record of your account but we have received no confirmation e-mail form you";

    exit(1);

} else {

    print $q->header;

    print "Download link"

}





sub graceful_error {



    my $err = shift;



    print $q->header;

    print "ERROR: $err";

    exit(1);

}

If you need an explanation of what's doing what just ask.

David :)

Ouch, what language ist that? lol

Ok its perl, no wonder i can´t read it. anyway. Thx for the replie.

Ok do need some help. If I decide to use PHP, how does the code look and where do I put it in?
And for the Perl. where do I put that in? Does the PHP Code work alone without the perl code?

I´d rather take the PHP code cause atleast I can read some of it. lol
