Hello Australian Blenderheads- Next meeting has been booked for Wednesday 27 May, 2009.
It’s been a little over 6 months since we last met up to talk Blender so… I’ve updated the BMS website with news of an impending Melbourne Blender Society Meeting.
The AIE have volunteered to help out again, so we’ll be meeting on St Kilda Road at the Atari Building. In the interests of cramming in as much fun as possible we’ll need to get started at 6pm sharp. Arrange to leave work early if you have to!
Please spread the word, please post here if you’re thinking about attending or if you’d like to present some of your work… it takes a while to get this ball rolling and all feedback is helpful & apprecated
Cool! I’m happy to give a demo of a game I’m working on. It has some interesting physics/scripting in it. The topic is snails again; I hope you’re not tired of them yet
I was wondering when another one was scheduled - I’ll be there too. Looking forward to see what people are working on.
One idea might be for people who don’t actually have anything to present - could submit images or WIP to be projected up - just an idea. That way even I might get something done!
That’s worth the price of admission right there. I’ll try to be there. Nothing to report from my end much, just some game work but looking forward to seeing what everyone’s been up to.
Well, things have panned out so that I can make it too! Should be a lot of fun meeting a bunch of BlenderHeads in person for a change.
I’ll be giving a bit of a talk on one of these two, probably the Steampunk Mousetrap project and how I did the procedural fire without volumetrics. I’ll try and bring a couple of things anyway in case people want a bit of a chat afterwards about general Blender type stuff. I’ve also got a mock (as in not commissioned by the ACB or anything) Ashes Test promo that I’ve been working on in Blender, should be very close to finished if not done by then. Mainly a texturing piece, but someone might be interested.
The good souls at Blender Nation have been kind enough to spread word for us of the upcoming meeting. There hasn’t been much activity on this thread but I can assure you that my poor old email account has been buzzing. I’m about to post the list of speakers for the eve, so stop in at www.melbournebs.com for details.
