The link in question (www.mgrote.com/steam.html) takes you to the site of an extremely talented young man called Michael Grote, who has created his Virtual Steampunk Camera in 3DS Max.

Reading the "About Page", I see that Michael says that he is currently looking for a full-time or freelance employment using 3DS Max or AutoCAD. He also says that he has "A Levels" and an "HNC", which gives us a clue that he's based in the UK (note to Michael, you might want to mention this on your site [grin]).

Anyway, based on his Steampunk Camera project, I'd certainly consider Michael for a job. That's if I was in the 3DS Max or AutoCAD arena, but I'm not, so, I was thinking that if any visitors to Programmable Logic DesignLine are aware of a suitable position, they might want to point Michael at the folks with the position or vice versa.

In the meantime, I've added Michael's site to my ever-evolving list of favorite Steampunk-related links as follows:

Wow! There is so much creativity out there that it blows me away ... I can only hope that the final incarnation of my "Display-O-Meter" is worthy to be added to this illustrious ensemble...
