Be certain to mark Sunday, December 2nd, 2007 as 'busy', because you won't want to miss the biggest User's Group event of the year!! '3December' is the annual celebration of all things 3D, it's name a take-off of '3D' and 'December 3rd'. This is the 9th year of the event, a theme that Autodesk has continued after acquiring Alias in 2006. This is a Global Celebration, with events happening all over the planet in the course of the week of December 3rd. Our event is December 2nd this year. Chicago is one of the largest and fastest growing users groups for Max and Maya, and we've been working to make this a unique and special event for everyone.

Thank you to IMAGINiT for hosting our meeting, and providing the pizza and refreshments. And a special thanks to Mark Gerhard of IMAGINiT, San Francisco, for coming up and speaking at the meeting. It was great to see the new features of 3ds max 2008 first-hand, and get answers to a number of questions on the new features. We also got to see some of Nick Grant's student portfolio, which generated an interesting dialog about the images, and what future employers might be looking for in the portfolio and skill set of a prospective employee. October Meeting! Contrary to what I may have said before, we will be having an October meeting in downtown Chicago. More.......
