Re: DMVC 2008; Why Boston?
Let me just say that I think the trend of focusing on BIM is a mistake, we are visualizers not CAD operators, although we may use the BIM models to create our images it's not the most important thing in our daily work. Some people do use it as they fill a dual role as a designer/Cad operator/architectural illustrator, but I would be willing to bet that number is small. This conference is supposed to be about the art of visualization, it should focus more on the concepts and tools that directly play into creating these images. I don't now about you but BIM is not an interesting subject that I want to hear about for very long, I want to be presented with new ideas and methods for creating imagery, I'm not concerned with how well the software can bring together all the different elements of a building model in order to make estimating more efficient. Linking with the AIA is fine with me as long as the DMVC maintains it's focus on visualization only.
