Our next 3ds Max User’s Group meeting will be Tuesday March 23rd, 2010, at Flashpoint Academy.  To sign up for the event go to our Event Bright page:  http://aaugamar23.eventbrite.com

As usual, pizza will be served at 5:30 in the Digital Garage, and then at 7pm sharp the meeting will begin in “The Matrix” room on the fifth floor.  You do not need to print a ticket for entry, but we do ask that you register.

As you may know, Autodesk has announced their 2011 Entertainment software, and we will demo a few things with 3ds Max 2011!

In the “shameless plug” department, my new book “Mastering mental ray” is available on Amazon.com for pre-order:  http://tinyurl.com/y94ase4.  The book will be released in mid-April, and focuses on technical information and practical use of the various shaders, lights and tools found in mental ray and 3ds Max and 3ds Max Design.  The book includes the new features of 3ds Max/Design 2011, and most of the 4gb of sample data works with 3ds Max 2010. 

See you there!
