Hello SM,

A friend of mine is trying to organise a creative meet up of people in London. it will be sometime in May i think. I was wondering if any of you lot want to come for a drink and an exchange of ideas and whatever. basically talking about what everyone is working on and what have you.

There is a facebook group we have, if anyone is interested i'll post it up.

Cheers

Dom.

Are noobs allowed, or is it an experienced user thing only?
Be honest (I know you will be...lol) if you'd prefer the experienced user only, I for one wouldn't be offended if that was the case.
Does sound interesting though.

Of course anyone is welcome! The more the merrier
I've been learning 3d for a bit less than a year now so I'm still a noob too. user added image

I will post more details in the morning but the idea is to bring your work on a USB and some of us will have laptops (or you could bring one too) to have a look at stuff.

Sounds good to me then mate, count me in, can only learn from it (and get a bit pissed) and have a laugh! I've no laptop (I've only owned a pc since last summer!) so will have to be a usb for me.
I'll keep a check on this thread then.
Nice one!

If I'm back in the UK on the dates in question count me in. If not if anyone ever gets over to Prague feel free to give me a buzz.

btw, yes tweety i started in June 08, not got a full-on job in 3D yet, but definitely working on it! my work is liked but there are no jobs to be had so its just a case of waiting for something to come up. :zzz:
