The 3ds Max London User Group meets on the first Wednesday of every month at Truckles, opposite the British Museum. Started in 2007, the group enjoys a great number of professional members from London's advertising, architectural and animation industries. We meet to discuss ideas, methods and projects in a friendly, relaxed setting.

3ds Max Development Team next Wednesday 3rd June

The 3ds Max development team are jetting in from across the globe for a pint downstairs at Truckles next Wednesday 3rd June from 7pm sharp (actually I don’t think we’re the only reason they’re coming over but that sounds good). Eddie Perlberg, 3ds Max Product Manager, Neil Hazzard, Principal Engineer Rendering, Alex Horst, Product Specialist, and Jamie Gwilliam, Territory Sales Manager UK, I & N, are all coming along to take us through some of the highlights of the 2016 product release, the strongest in some time I think you’ll agree. Eddie’s also going to talk about the development process for Max, what the team are working on and (with the usual caveats I’m sure) what you might expect to see in future releases.

I’m very happy they’ve all agreed to come along to 3ds London again, it’s always great to hear what’s going on and a brilliant opportunity for you to talk to them. I don’t have any other speakers lined up for the evening but I’d be very grateful if you brought some work along to share at the beginning of the evening too- I’m sure the team will enjoy seeing what 3ds London members can achieve with Max. So to reiterate, I’d be very grateful if you brought some work along to share at the beginning of the evening too (i.e. your end of the bargain).

Have you signed up on our meetup page for 3dslondon that Sol set up last month yet? This will soon become the primary channel of communication for the group, so make sure you do!

Vyonyx & PriestmanGoode next Wednesday 6th May

3ds London is next Wednesday 6th May, from 7pm downstairs at Truckles again (Last month we enjoyed Squint Opera's hospitality at The Doodle Bar, wrong side of the river and all that, but well worth the effort for all those that made it- fantastic work, generous insight into their organization and cold beer).
We've got a few shorter presentations lined up for May. From the always impressive Vyonyx, Konstantinos Koudounis is going to take us through some recent projects and how they did them. Then Rob Walsh will talk us through PriestmanGoode's impressive animation for London Underground. I'm going to show a short project from Stufish so I don't feel hypocritical about constantly nagging everyone else to share their work... Speaking of which, why don't you bring along a project to show the group? You don't necessarily have to prepare a long presentation, just bring something along! Let me know beforehand if you like and I can update the invitation. If you would like to make a longer presentation just get in touch by the way.
Hopefully we'll be lucky with the weather too, looking forward to seeing everyone.

Our social media guru, Sol, has generously set up a meetup page for 3dslondon. I hope this will soon become the primary channel of communication for the group, so make sure you join!
