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 London User Group, Wednesday 2nd March Confirmed!

3DS Max London User Group
Wednesday 2nd March
from 7PM
 

The Plough, 27 Museum Street, WC1A

Ben Cowell is the head of 3D at Nexus. Ben’s coming along to show the group their fantastic work on the Honda Jazz advert, using Max and Krakatoa, and some of their other recent work. Of course, you’ll be bringing along some work to show everyone too, won’t you?
Please note the new venue; it was very hard to convince the landlord of a central London pub to give us a space for free. The Plough has a newly refurbished room upstairs with a large screen so I hope it works out, but we need it to be full! So do come along and catch up with everyone after the recent hiatus.

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 2nd 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

3ds Max London User Group next Wednesday 1st December



Autodesk’s Soho Office
Ingeni Building
15-17 Broadwick Street
London
W1F 0DE

Arrive from 6:30pm for 7pm sharp please

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 3rd 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
