May Meeting

Last night’s monthly meeting was very informative. It was good to see some old acquaintances and friends. The Carlson demonstration put on was very informative. I was especially impressed on how easy the road design was done. It seemed very intuitive.

Next months demonstration will be the 2013 AutoDesk Roll-Out. Donnie Gladfelter of CMI will be revealing the newest features of various platforms. Donnie’s demonstrations are usually very informative. The meeting will be in the Henrico County Government Center at 8600 Dixon Powers Drive on May 30th, starting at 5:30.

Please feel free to contact any of the officers of R.A.M. if you have any questions. We would like to know what you are interested in seeing. If you have any problems at work that you could use a little guidance on. We are all here to assist one another.

Wednesday, Sept. 28, 2011 Meeting: Digital Storytelling by Jim Robb

 Jim Robb has been providing visualization services for architects, interior designers and artists for 15 years. He has worked in AutoCAD ADT (Architecture), Revit and primarily 3ds Max. While Architecture and Revit do have rendering engines associated with the programs, there is usually much optimization needed for a typical model before decent results can be optioned from within these programs. 3rd Max has optimizing tools that can speed the process along.

Visualization is digital storytelling. Photo-realism is not needed all the time to tell the story of the design. Users should not rule out other methods or styles of rendering.

As usual, September’s meeting will be the last Wednesday of the month (Tonight!). Also as usual it will be in the 2nd floor conference room at the Human Services Building in the Henrico County Government Center in the West End off Parham Road.

No RSVP required. Please be our guest. Light dinner will be provided for all attendees. We look forwarto seeing everyone there.

CMI DC TechTour this Wednesday

CADD Micro will be hosting a TechTour featureing Lynn Allen this Wednesday in DC.  Donnie Gladfelter offers: 

 “I’m really excited about this TechTour since it’s squarely focused on making the most of Autodesk Suites. Nearly every session will feature the use of two-or-more pieces of software, and how such multi-product workflows can help designers become more productive.

We will be hosting a Richmond TechTour in October. That event will feature similar-but-different sessions (without our friends from Autodesk), but will remain focused on solutions-based classes.”
