Looks like the idea has taken off, but not quite as expected

[Hampshire] [OT] 3D Rendering Talk

2013-10-29 Thread Peter Collins
Hi All,

Just a quick reminder that tomorrow evening is the So Make It hosted talk
on rendering technologies in 3ds Max by Neil Hazzard (Autodesk Principal
engineer and development manager for rendering within 3ds Max).

If you are interested in rendering this should prove to be an interesting
evening. Depending on who turns up the idea this will be a fairly basic
level talk around the following overview:

What is rendering – a quick over view
Materials
Bump mapping/ Displacement mapping
The new rendering revolution – path tracing
Putting it altogether
Demonstration images/video

With more advance talks in the future if there is the call for it.

Thanks to some kind hearted people tickets are now a donation of your
choice.

More details available here:

Rgds
