Question: How hard is it to make bridges?
Answer: Making bridges is extremely hard and time consuming. In the entire lifetime of Bridge Commander, only a hand full of people have been able to do it, and most of those do not know the full process.

Question: How many time do you have to make them?
Answer: Not sure whether this question is asking, How many times do we redo a model, or how long do we have to do a model. Well the answer to the first is it varies. Some models are great and require just a single run through. Others can be incredibly complex and require remodelling, optimising and mapping repeatedly to get the desired effect.
The answer to the second one is variable as well. It depends on what stage the bridge is at, whether time permits us to work on it and whether we believe it will be well recieved by the community. A bridge that wont be a hit, will not be done to the extreme high standards that we have produced in BP Modules. Also if theres a newer model in the works, we wont spend too much time on V1.0

Question: Is their a deadline?
Answer: We usually do not set deadlines for bridges, however since the release of BP and the fact that we now have more time, progress should be increased dramatically. We have set certain deadlines, but don't really want to publish them incase we overrun.
