Sadly, really, CG in Finnland hasn't yet gotten far... Which is a shame
since we have all the benefits of Canada with a nice S3TC compression
applied to sqeeze it into a population of 5-6 million... The benefits
are: cold winters and technologically oriented people :) Even worse
really is the situation with games companies... Of which there are only
a handful. So it's not easy for indie developers like our team to get
them selves heard :( But on the other hand we get to be pioneers... I
hope people will get more interrested about "bigger" games than just
cellular games on Java platforms and concentrate on XBox, PS and the PC.
Btw. Mikko, what are you by profession, if I may ask? A 3D freelancer?

No, it was when I was being a sculptor. I had a show over at the
society of finish sculptors and had a studio for 3 months to make the
work. The tallin part of the trip was an agreement to go and do some
teaching over at the art school there. As i said it was great both in
Helsinki and Tallin. Tallin was interesting at the time because it was
still within the soviet umbrella (this was 1990 just pre gorbechev
reforms) and prices were frozen at 1917 levels which meant that while
there wasn't a lot to buy what there was was mindbogglingly cheap! but
the thing I liked most was the old centre. A beautiful place (that was
unfortunately surrounded by other fairly brutal architecture). I hear
now that Tallin has become a place were guys from wealthier parts of
europe go and have their stag do's, which is a pity in a way ,even if
the benefit to the economy is good.
Anyway I'm rambling.... but you'r right it wasn't cg !-)
