Since I released the first version of ChilliSkinner (May 2000) I have had a whole load of positive feedback via email.  Those who have used ChilliSkinner will be aware of my love, nay need of having my ego stroked ;) so in keeping with that philosophy I've decided to post some of my favourite email comments.  I thank everyone who contacted me about ChilliSkinner, regardless of whether they praised the software or had criticisms.  I've posted these quotes verbatim including typos for no other reason than because it was easier to do so (my own emails are choc full of typos and spelling mistakes so I'm not the one to start throwing stones in glass houses;).  Although some comments are paraphrased I do not believe that any are taken out of context.  If your comment is amongst these and you would rather it wasn't then I apologise sincerely, email me and I'll remove it asap.  Oh and lastly *one* of the comments is completely ficticious... know which it is? :)

"I've been waiting for a plug-in like this since 1997 - and baffled that no one else thought of it first.  Kudos for making a product that even the bigwigs out there have balked at for some reason"
Greg Fisk

"Wow, Now I understand the Unfold Polys feature"
Carl Schell

"God man, you're a saviour!!!  Thnx very much, luv that tool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)"

"Chili still kicks ass :)"
Todd Kuehnl

"Dearest Chilli,
I am writing this to thank you for your wonderful script and tutorials.  I can't compare using your script to doing it by hand because I never have had to. Yours is the only way I know. Now that's some serious ass kissing.
Soggy
P.S. Just because I started the letter with dearest and have the email address soggybottoms@hotmail.com doesn't mean I'm gay.  Please don't send nude photos of yourself."

" I work at Volition Inc, known for Descent, Freespace, Summoner, and Red Faction. I most recently worked on Summoner for which all modelling/texturing was done in MAX. Your script really helped out a lot.  We've used it on levels as well as characters. It is excellent for any organic forms."
Kelly Snapka

"God DAMN!!!! That thing kicks ass! I just gave it a very quick trial run (literally 2 minutes) and it took one of my character models and mapped it all out nice and even! I can't believe how fast it mapped out a character that took me 3 hours to do without your plugin! You do know that Texture Weapons for Deep Paint 3d has a feature like this don't you? That's an 800 dollar program with a 400 dollar plugin if you want to be able to do what CS does! This has to be the coolest plugin I've ever used - aside from Character Studio ;]"

"Your the MAN!"
Vudra

"I've looked at your stuff, it's pretty funky.  I'll put something up as soon as I've pulled my heed out of my arse :o)"

"This is the most useful script I have come accross. It does excactly what I was dreaming of doing in max, with so much ease. You should get an award or something for creating this. It's made my life soo much better!"
Edd

"I am working in the game industry since 3 years and i am using max with unwrap... at first, i had hard time beleiving how the procedure has to be to texturing and mapping meshes! but you bring out an interesting approach with unfolding the mesh."
