About a month ago I tried to access www.ceracera.com, as I usually do every month or so, just to see if there was any progress of any kind, and received a message that the site was down. It sometimes happens for sites, so I did not give it much thought. I just tried to access the site again, and received "403 Forbidden - You don't have permission to access / on this server". Could it be that Cera Cera is no more? I hope not. Anyone have any other info?
Smelter, I checked the Way Back Machine (Internet Archive), and that last entry you mentioned was, unfortunately, an older version of their site, so you will miss out on some of their entries. They had a good number of printed and downloadable automata models, so they will be missed.
I'm sorry to hear Cera Cera is no more. Even though they were plagued with errors at first, I enjoyed building their models. I do wish they would of have kept the projects downloadable. I would of bought more of the later ones. What I liked most about Cera Cera was the uniqueness of their models. And in building them learning new ways of animating objects.

Does anyone have old Cera Cera files they are willing to share? They were offered free once, right?
No, they were not free. I bought them all - even the not downloadable ones - and enjoyed very much building them.
But again - they were not free, so there certainly is an ACTA issue here (phew).

Ok. Bummer. I find a lot of formerly free stuff in blogs and the links are gone. Paperpino made a beautiful flying dove over the earth, but that one's not on his site anymore. Just thought this was the same thing. Thanks for clarifying.












The Internet Archive has a last entry for 4th July 2008 :- http://www.archive.org/web/web.php
Is that the most recent version?
