Everybody, it is time again for our monthly séance known as the Austin
3d Users Group.
The meeting will convene at 6:30 PM, Aug. 25, next Wed. at La Madeline restaurant
at 3418 N. Lamar, in Austin, TX. Our presenter for this meeting bailed because
he accepted out of town work and thought that was more important than entertaining
us. Would any of us do differently???
One of our number suggested that we have an orgy of self promotion and call
it Portfolio Night. You have all weekend to put together your best work
and bring it before the group. I will bring a VHS deck and we will have
a computer with DVD, CD and USB digital thingie support. We have had excellent
material the last two meetings and really squeezed the speakers for time,
so this time we will just squeeze a little more and not notice the absence
of the speaker.
Attention, producers and directors, this will be a great opportunity to
see who is doing what kind of work. I know that several of you are about
to launch new projects. This will be a unique to quickly see what kind of
work is being done in Austin these days. Students, if you want to find an
internship, bring your stuff. Unemployed artists, show it off. Employed
artists, lets see what you've got. Specialists, riggers, character artists,
level designers, Architects, who ever has work they have done in 3d show
us what you do. Keep it short, no more than 5 min. or so. We will have sound.
If you have special needs give me a call.
La Madeline has a French menu in a cafeteria format. You can eat while you
watch, then sneak back out for one of their scrumptious desserts. We will
go from about 6:30 to 8:30 with conversation after.
