    I follow you perfectly, but you have saved time in "copy parameters" and "paste relative references" in a (FILE SOP) in the end.
    apparently it is a rendering and mantra accelerated.
    thanks, I just started now with PDG : )

    I am amazed with your talent Moritz, thank you for teaching such advanced level with so much value.

    I ratify my previous error (with "file cache" I can save video card)
    excuse me and thank you.

    Thank you for another fantastic tutorial, but I'm dead in the water with that second point wrangle. It doesn't appear to do anything since it doesn't have any affect on the shapes. To ensure I didn't miss anything I've rewatched the video several times, but can't see why this isn't working. Has there been a change since this video was made?

      Obviously, the only way to find a mistake is to post to the world first that there aren't any. Viola! typo appears immediately (crawling back under my rock now *wimper*).
      :D
