[anthony cortez]

We are pleased to invite you to our next and biggest event so far this year on Tuesday April 24th 2012 with Eat-n-Greet at 7pm and the event start at 7:30pm. This April event will be the first in our new home at the Manhattan Autodesk office space located at 38 West 21st Street on the 9th Floor, New York NY 10011. Many thanks go out from the group to Peter Kolster and the Autodesk staff for making this possible.

 

The Highlights of the April 2012 event include:

 

We will be upgrading the Eat-n-Greet portion of the event at 7pm from donuts and coffee to pizza and beer. A special thank you again to Autodesk for this generous contribution.

 

Digital Heroes Tour: Larry Kleinkemper, the president of AAUGA, is touring the country and filming interviews with speakers from the various user groups along the way. On April 24th he will be in NY to conduct short interviews with our main speakers before their scheduled presentations. Find out a bit how our speakers got into the business and hopefully hear some other fun stories and facts.

 

Feature Presentation: Borislav “Bobo” Petrov of Thinkbox software will be honoring us with a very rare appearance and speaking about the multitude of powerful tools he and Thinkbox have developed over the years. Find out more about some of the software behind recent projects like Tron and Avatar as we are granted audience with the master of maxscript himself.

 

Working with glu3D GPU edition with Joe Gunn

Fluid simulation aficionado Joe Gunn will be demonstrating his workflows and approaches when creating fluid simulations within 3ds max using 3DAlien’s newest version of the glu3D plugin that harnesses the power of NVidia CUDA enabled video processors.

 

We will be finally holding our first “2 gets you 100” fundraising raffle for two prizes from TurboSquid. We will be raffling off two $100 SquidBucks prizes with tickets being sold for a mere $2 each. We apologize for having to postpone this raffle originally scheduled for the last event, but encourage you all to participate at this next event.

 

Two weeks ago we launched the new NYC 3ds max User Group website and we’re glad to see that many of you have been visiting and even contributing. At this next event we are planning to unveil a new, private area of the site, accessible only by members who attend the events. If all goes well, those of you who have been attending so far may even receive an email invitation with the exclusive password before April 24th.

 

As always you must RSVP to attend and all new attendees will be required to fill out our registration survey online prior to arriving.
