Hi All

Have been abit quiet recently doing various bits and bobs, but on my last blog post, I wrote about the rebirth of the Softimage London user group. Well on Tuesday evening this week, the first meeting occurred and what a great night it was.

As you can see from the pic, it was standing room only with an incredible 150+ people attending. Rather then being just a simple get together, the guys arranged for several people to give talks and demos which included guys from The Mill, StudioAKA and The Chaos Group.

Unfortunately it wasn't possible to record any of the talks (not as easy as it sounds), but it might possible that some guys might post their videos, and infact someone has already.

Rob Chapman from StudioAKA has kindly posted some videos on his presentation on Generating and Rendering clouds in ICE. Here's a preview:

If you want to see more, just use the Vimeo link in the video.

If you would like to know more about the Softimage Creatives group, contact them, or if you might want to start a local chapter for Softimage studios in your area, then here's their site:

So all in all, a great night and big thanks should go to Escape Studios, HP, Eizo and XTFX for giving their support. The guys now will looking at doing another large event like this but later in the year, but there will probably be some smaller get togethers before then. :-)
