We had a fantastic meeting last month out in Cornelius Pass, this time its at Raleigh Hills Pub in Beaverton.

Get together with other 3D focused artists and designers to talk shop in a casual environment.

Last time, Nick Nakate gave us an introduction to the standalone renderer Brazil 3. Check the link below for this month's topic. If its related to 3D, animation, film, game design, its fair game.

We are a group of 3D enthusiasts In Vancouver. We are artists, hobbyists and professionals interested in 3D printing. Our group is open to anyone from beginner to advanced.

We meet every month to talk about the industry, our work, and to collaborate on projects.

Every 3rd month we plan to combine with the Portland 3D Printing Lab here in Vancouver.

Professional presentation and networking. No-fee meeting, every month, for non-beginner users of Adobe Photoshop and/or Illustrator.

This month's presentation: Making 3D in Photoshop and Illustrator.

"Join" the group on website to get announcements of upcoming meetings (it's the official Adobe Groups site).

PARKING: Be sure to see the parking and transit tips on the group's web page.

Autodesk Hits Portland 2015 is upon us and we find ourselves just a few days away from what has proven itself year after year as "the main 3D event." This year Autodesk brings us a focus on mainstays 3D Studio Max and Maya, along with a new offering - Stingray. 3D printing is a hot topic and Brian McLean from LAIKA will be presenting the latest and greatest tech as they continue to push the envelope out in Hillsboro. Come out and network early with food and drink provided, all within the friendly confines of OMSI and the Empirical Theater.

Blender is a free, open source 3D creation suite. This class is an introduction to Blender. Learn how to navigate within Blender, create and edit simple 3D models, and add basic lighting to your art.

This session will take an in-depth look at hardware acceleration in Flash. We'll go over when and how to apply it to speed up your Flash Player 9 and 10 projects, and what you'll be able to do with it in Flash Player 11 with the "Molehill" SDK, Pixel Bender 3D, and Away3D 4.

Doors open at 6:30. Presentation will start at 7pm.

Stephen Schieberl is Senior Developer at Fashionbuddha. His web and exhibit work has been featured and recognized by Communication Arts, HOW Magazine, CreativeApplications.net, WebVisions, and more.

Ray tracing is an algorithm for generating 3D images and involves tracing rays of light around a virtual scene. Ray tracing is more computationally intensive than rasterization (which is used for video games) but is better at capturing phenomena like reflection and refraction. A simple raytracer can be written in a day, while complex ones requires advanced physics equations and statistical techniques. In this 90-minute talk, we'll cover enough material for you to build your own raytracer, and some more advanced features you could add to continue developing. Ray tracing lends itself to object-oriented programming so we'll also get some practice with typescript.

Presented by PDX Code Guild Instructor Matthew Cooper

Join us on Thursday, October 13th in Portland for our discussion on 3D printing and what it means for the future of both manufacturing and development innovation. An esteemed panel of industry experts will share their thoughts on the evolution of 3D printing and what it means for developers.

Speakers include Paul Benning, HP Inc's HP Fellow and Chief Technologist, Shashi Jain, Intel's Corporate Innovation and IoT/3D Printing Manager, and Bob Taylor, HP Inc's Senior Software Architect focused on web service development and deployment for 3D printing. The panel will be moderated by Chris Liddell, Senior Engineering Manager at Apex Clearing Corporation.

Both HP Inc. and Intel have a long history of driving innovation in products and solutions, across the hardware and software industries, and are poised to lead the new wave 3D brings to the future for developers. Audience members will also hear exciting insights on the recently launched hp.io (a new developer's portal) and e-NABLE (a community for 3D printable prosthetics).

Questions to be answered during this session:

What does 3D Printing mean for the future of manufacturing, from each company’s perspective?
What does it look like in two years, five years, ten years How does 3D printing help drive the future of innovation, and what does it mean for developers
