Arqui9 & Itoo @3dsLondon Wednesday 6th March

Wednesday 6th March
For 7pm
Upstairs at The Plough, 27 Museum Street, WC1A

Hello everyone,
Next Wednesday we're back at The Plough for 3ds London. First, Pedro Fernandes, a London-based architect, is going to show us some of his recent work. Pedro showed me some of his matte paintings last year- I thought they were great so I'm glad he's agreed to do a presentation for us. Check out his site first, http://www.arqui9.com/.

Then Paul Roberts, an editor at Max Underground amongst other things, is going to present a general introduction to Forest Pack Pro 4 on behalf of Itoo Software. Paul is also going to highlight some of the new features in the recently released version 4 so that there's something for existing users. After the presentation, Itoo would like to set a competition for 3ds London members, using the free lite version of the plugin. The winner will be judged the following month and receive a full pro license of the plugin.Itoo ran a similar competition at the South Wales user group, the winning entry can be seen here. So our first proper competition, after 5 years, with some Max User Group rivalry thrown in!
 
We haven't had your work presented for some time, so please bring something along to show everyone at the beginning of the evening. Remember, details posted at www.3dslondon.co.uk and on Twitter, follow @3dslondon.

See you there, Simon

David Bullock's told me they'll be showing the group some recent work- mainly to show off their new AV system! Of course, it's going to be a great place to share some of your work too- bring some along.

3ds London regulars Sol Rogers and Matt Allen from RewindFX are presenting too- their first one I believe, so don't miss it! Check out their site, they've had some great projects this year so it's going to be good.

3ds London Wed 3rd October

For 7pm
Upstairs at The Plough, 27 Museum Street, WC1A


Hello everyone,
Next Wednesday Michal Konicek from Vertex Modelling is going to get things started, they have an amazing 3D model of London you can chech out on their website. Michal's going to give us an overview of their work- very accurate 3D captured from high res imagery, and how you can use it.
We've had two months in a row of very technical presentations, so next week, please, bring in a project or two to share! After Michal, the evening is free for you guys to show off some work, so bring it along on USB. The rest of the year's schedule is looking pretty busy, so this is your best chance to strut some 3D stuff. If you'd like to give me a heads up, drop me an email ASAP. Come on everyone!
Remember, details posted at www.3dslondon.co.uk and on Twitter, follow @3dslondon.

See you there, Simon
