Greetings Max Junkies! I would like to discuss our next meeting.  Since the month of April was blown by us our next meeting will be schedule in the month of May. I want to take a poll on the topic for the next meeting.  Here is a list of options, you can just respond with your choice..

Most votes wins!

1)  "The Making of the Cathedral" DVD which features interview with the creation of the short.  Some used techniques, stills, animation tests and more...

2)  Tips/Tricks night (A free for all to show your favorite tips that you've learned over the years)

3)  Visit a post production house using 3dsmax

4)  Max Script

5)  Reactor

6)  Advanced Lighting techniques

So more info on what's going on with the website and forum.  We are continuing to grow content on the website, do not miss the interview with Shane Griffith of Discree. Make sure your hitting the site to find out new information on max and the industry. 

Something that has been a bit of a struggle and is now starting to work and grow.  The online forum that we are using has been getting really good use.  If you have not visited the forum please do.  Thanks to all of the people that have been posting and actively using our forum!  If you are local to MN and need quick answerers, make sure you post them!  Our local 3dsmax questions will be very different from the post on a forum located in CA.  So having a great group to post questions and get feedback is great!  For our members outside the MN or US area please register and use the forum to make yourself a part of the group since you can not make the meetings. Again, like we've stressed last year with this group is the FACT that we have now over 100 members and only 25 members registered to the forum.  This will have to change otherwise there will be some changes to the group. If you don't know you better ask somebody!
