Max users group meeting agenda

Please note the next User Group will be on the second Wednesday of June, the 9th (I'm sorry for this unavoidable change). It will be a busy one though! Ximo Peris, Creative Director, and his team from the London office of Crystal CG will be presenting some of their work on 3D Stereoscopy. Ryan Lintott, Associate Director & Head of 3D at Squint/Opera will be presenting some of their impressive recent work. Finally Gareth Corbett from the BlueGFX team has also kindly
agreed to share a tech update with the group, looking at 3D app and GPU news.

In addition to the change of date in June, please note there will be no meeting in July because of the World Cup!

We look forward to seeing you on the 9 June.

3ds Max London User Group Meeting
This Wednesday 7th April From 6.30pm
Upstairs at The Black Horse Pub in Central London
6 Rathbone Place, London W1T 1HL


After a quiet one last month, we have a great evening planned for this Wednesday. 3ds London regular Joe Robson kicks things off with a talk, ‘The Painted, The Unpainted and the Unpaintable; In Pursuit of Architectural Realism’. Joe is an elected council member of the Society of Architectural Illustration, he also lectures at the London School of Economics and Bath University at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, as well as internationally. Currently he runs his own practice, AVR London, specialising in architectural illustration, verification and research. Joe's talk in November 2008 was fantastic so I'm pleased he's agreed to talk again.

Autodesk App Specialist Jamie Gwilliam is coming along too, this will be one of your first chances to check out all the new 3ds Max 2011 goodness. Enough said!

Hope you can make it, regards, Simon.

Wednesday 3rd March

Hello everybody, this Wednesday we don't have a confirmed presentation. I do try hard to find someone every month but sometimes... it just doesn't happen! The last evening this happened was last year, and in the end everything turned out fine. BUT! That was only because people brought along something to show the group. So, and I say it every month, please do bring something along, whether you are a seasoned presenter or a nervous first timer (have a drink first). Last month was a great success, close to seventy attendees squeezed in to watch the Vyonyx presentation, standing room only! I look forward to seeing you again on Wednesday.

Hope you can make it, regards, Simon.

New Site

This will be the new page to find out what's happening every month. It should be much easier to keep up to date now! The old address should redirect here. If you have any suggestions for this page let me know.
