That looks like a great evening!
Let's hope some of the presentations also show up on Vimeo.

Great start for the new user group :-)

Thanks to all involved, amazing work and amazing results... it shows how strong and tightly knit the Softimage Community has always been.

I would like to take advantage of the opportunity and ask our friend at Autodesk to put their weight behind this as the results speak for themselves and I am sure we all would benefit enourmously from a more involved relationship.

Look forward to help next one.

Thanks Lawrence! Apologies, I was meaning to post an update to the list about
this today.


For those of you who missed it. Yes, last night was an amazing success; we had
just over 150 people turn up and cram themselves into the bar. At one point they
were literally queuing down the street.



Overall it was a great evening, and everyone really enjoyed themselves. We were
a slight victim of our own success in that because we had so many people, it was
difficult to hear the presentations that were going on, but I think most people
managed to get something out of it. It's something we'll look at fixing as a
priority for the next event. Whether that means a change of format or venue,
we're not sure yet.


Next event? Yes! At the moment we're thinking that the next big one will be in
November, but I'm sure various impromptu meet ups down the pub will be called
for, particularly now the summer over here seems to have arrived.




I don't believe I stressed this enough last night, but special recognition needs
to go to Ellen Payne and Adrian Wyer who did an immense amount of work sorting
everything out, dealing with getting sponsors, managing machines, talking to the
venue, etc. And of course thanks to the presenters too who dealt with the
difficult presentation conditions in such an admirably professional way!


I need to also mention that we wouldn't have been able to do it without various
forms of help coming from Autodesk, Escape Studios, Hewlett-Packard, Eizo, and
XTFX. So a sincere thanks to all of them too.



I'll be uploading some pictures from the event later tonight. I'll be sure to
post a link to the list.



Cheers,
Andy




P.S. If anyone who attended has any thoughts, ideas, or feedback on last night,
please don't hesitate to get in touch.

Hi,

Yup, huge appreciation to everyone involved. Great to see many old (and new) school faces from the list.

Spoilt for choices with the demos, keeping fingers crossed for a few on Vimeo to re-digest.

Thanks again and hope to be there for some of the pub gatherings,

Adam.

Heya,

Had a hell of a great time. Initially i thought there were going to be
only a handful of people...boy was i wrong.
Glad i took the time off work to hop on the plane and get to see
everyone i knew but never met in real life. Was well worth it.
Also that shot andy gave me...well, it started kicking in at the airport lol

Thank you guys,
Cheers,
Octav (the dude from transylvania) :)

Hi Octav,

Glad you got back okay!

By the sound of it, it's lucky they let you back on the aircraft ;)

And for those that missed my little talks due to noise or lack of
appearance at the event here are them rerecorded using a demo of
camtasia as promised. Im still a bit hoarse from having to shout at
the bar but the voice improves as I fumble along

/nudges other speakers to release theirs for the rest of the community too ;)
