I want to get back into doing some animation for a while, but maybe we could pick up on the project sometime in the future.
I have done a little experimentation with regards to the aforementioned project, I have created a grand piano and also a MEL script that lets you control the keys . . . I have some C code somewhere on my computer that is related to reading MIDI files. I could send that part to you some time when you get ready to roll.
As I said though, for now at least, I want to take a break from coding after I finish this bird project!
