Re: CGA Member SIGGRAPH Photos
Damn Alex, I'm sorry I missed you! Definitely would have been great to meet you face to face. Oh the well. I did get a kick out of finally meeting the V-Ray god himself, Mr. Vlado -- quite a quiet fellow, I'm not sure how he deals with all the fame that comes with writing a wildly popular rendering engine. ;-)
Am I alone in thinking that the Autodesk booth was incredibly awful? I could not believe that they only had 3ds max running on one computer station that was on the outside wall facing a main concourse aisle... I think at most two or three people could actually stand and watch the demonstration at a time. Compare that to Softimage's 30+ seats and 15' tall screen, with demonstrations by their sales guys and production artists as well. I ended up watching their demo even though I know nothing about XSI, it was so much more engaging.
Really, really sad for us maxers.
