  1. Hi Jonathan,
    You made reference in this video that ‘next month you would deal with the auto-hybrid function in more detail’. Did this ever happen? If this is the case, I’m having trouble locating the theoretical “3D Model Special Interest Group – May 2014”.
    Thanks!

    1. When we had the session, I forgot to hit the “Record” button, so it was all lost. I’m very embarrassed and sorry.
