3ds London is next Wednesday 4th March, from 7pm downstairs
at Truckles.
Nikos
Nikolopoulos, CGI Director of Cityscape
Digital, will be premiering some of his latest work. Nikos’ presentation
last January was great and he’s just written a brilliant article for 3D World,
so I’m looking forward to this one! Nikos has been using recently released Maxwell
Render V3.1, so I’m happy to say Juan Cañada (Head of Maxwell Render
Technology), Victor Gonzalez (CEO) and their team are flying over from Madrid
to watch and update the group as well.
Foster + Partners’ Design Communications Team (as oppose to
the Visualisation Team, who’s work Gamma Basra presented last September) create
a range of artwork from hand drawn sketches, pen and ink drawings through to
ephemeral and photo real digital work. Tan Sohanpall and Olga Banaszyk and are
going to present some of this work, giving us an insight into the incredible
cross section of projects and techniques covered by the team.
Our last speaker, Mike Leach, has also presented at 3ds
London before, but a bit longer ago, September 2008 in fact… Mike’s now the Workstation
Technologist at Lenovo. Lenovo are the world’s largest PC manufacturer and Mike
has 15 years’ experience with workstations, so he’s well placed to get the
group up to speed with the latest tech! Mike’s bringing along a slick ThinkStation P Series to
showcase but (as with all hardware vendors invited to 3ds London) will keep the
presentation non-vendor specific as much as he can bear to!
Did you see The Boundary put their presentation
from last month online? Carlos Mazón Godoy also posted the workflow videos
he presented here and
here for you to check
out.
