Good News / Bad News

Hello everyone,

Please note there will be no meeting next week for February, I couldn’t arrange a venue unfortunately. Happily though, from Wednesday 2^nd March we have a new permanent home for the evenings at The Plough, 27 Museum Street, WC1A. It’s pretty close to the old venue (The Black Horse, which has now closed) five minutes walk from Tottenham Court Road Tube.

Thanks for the encouraging emails, I’m sorry the meetings have been disrupted recently, but we should be back on track in March!

Kind regards, Simon

See you next year

Thanks to all the speakers and attendees this year, see you all next February!

Hello everyone,

Next Wednesday 1st December I’m happy to say we once again enjoy the hospitality of Autodesk at their Soho offices for the last 3ds Max London User Group meeting of 2010. We also have a great speaker with a really cool project to present; Mike Merron recently worked as Technical Director at 1stAveMachine on the new Ford C-Max commercial. Mike is going to come along to show us how it was done, using 3ds Max, Vray, and Fusion amongst others. Of course, we’re always looking for other projects to watch and talk about, so bring something along!

With no meeting last month and nothing planned for January it will be great for everyone to catch-up on Wednesday (the first week of the year is hectic enough, but rest assured we have another great talk pencilled in for February 2011).

Everyone welcome, I look forward to seeing you all, regards, Simon

November

Hello Everyone,

Please note there’s no User Group meeting this Wednesday 3^rd November. I’m afraid the double whammy of no confirmed speaker or venue would make it tricky! Sorry for the late notice, I was hoping to get something together at the last minute but it didn’t happen in the end. We’ve been lucky to enjoy some great venues and speakers recently, good to see the evenings have been well attended too. I’ve struggled to find a suitable venue to replace the Black Horse Pub though, whilst they have let us down a few times it does have the advantage of being central, and free. I’ve been to almost every Pub in the West End now, but if you know somewhere else suitable let me know.

Many hundreds of people know about the evening now, so some of you must be able to make a presentation at an upcoming event! It shouldn’t take too long to prepare and you’ll enjoy it, promise.

Again, sorry for the late notice, regards, Simon

Map and Directions

From 7:00pm, starting 7:30pm sharp

Hello everybody,

As mentioned at the last meeting, this month Hayes Davidson have graciously offered to host the October event at their studio in Paddington. It’s a little further west than usual, but easy to get to, and the evening will start a little later to compensate. Please check the map linked above and look out for the big wooden door! Hayes Davidson need no introduction to anyone in our group really, I know their presentation will be excellent. Please do bring along any of your recent projects to show the group as well!

Everyone welcome, see you there, Simon
