Hey Team!

Just a friendly reminder letting you all know that tomorrow’s our SIGGRAPH meeting.

Josh DiCarlo, a Webster Animation Alumnus and Professor of Maya Character Animation has agreed to come do a Maya-in-30-minutes tutorial like we voted on last meeting, so come promptly at 9:30pm in 202 to get in on that lesson.

Don’t forget to come with ideas for other tutorials you’d like to see for future meetings.

As usual, there will be snacks! Hurray food!

Hope to see you there,

Carol

An indie filmmaker is working on a historical documentary about a 19th century African female writer. Part of the documentary will require CG and green screening and all that.
She is in search for an intern who would do some of the animation.
Her name is Rukayat and her e-mail address is umm_maryam1@yahoo.com
Can you please let your 3D students know and touch base with her? It’s a great real-world opportunity and I think that she’s in LA but not sure.

Thanks

That’s right, this year the RHA Video Game Tournament is back and bigger than ever before!

This year the winner of the main event will receive a FREE 19inch Flat Screen LCD HDTV!!

This year’s main event will be……….GUITAR HERO III!!! So get on those guitars and start shredding, because the competition will be fierce!!!

The two other events will be (at this point), Super Smash Brothers Melee and Halo 3!!!

AND FEAR NOT,

If you don’t win the main event, you can still play in the other tournaments!!! You heard it, this year you can play in all the tournaments! However, if you are epic enough to win a tournament then you will be disqualified from the others.

Prizes for the other tournaments will be discounted systems, games, some DVD’s. And there will also be door prizes for those whose skills aren’t quite up to par.

Marletto’s will have pizza and soda available for purchase with your meal plans or points, or cash if that’s how you roll.

We are also looking for residents to donate video game equipment!!! This can be anything from systems, to games, controllers, memory cards, power cords, televisions, anything!!!

Last year we had A WHOLE LOT of equipment donated by residents and are looking to have just as much this year!!!

Follow this link to the equipment donation form and fill her out!!! Please guys we need stuffs to pull this off!!

Ok so that is what I put on the facebook event. I just wanted to let you guys know about this awesome event on the 30th and how much I need SIGGRAPH’s help to pull it off. I know a lot of SIGGRAPH members donated equipment last year, and I am asking that you guys help me out by lending us your equipment again this year. Just follow the link to the surveymonkey site and fill her out. I’m also looking for workers to help us set up and tear down the tournament. Marletto’s closes at 7 on that Friday and the tournament starts at 8, so we only have an hour to set up!!!!

And to alleviate any fears, you can still play in the tournaments if you help us set up.

So if anyone is interested in helping out please message me at zmuh11@aol.com or facebook.

Thanks peeps!

Hey all.  For the 4 people that read this, listen up!  We still have $950+ in our budget, and I’m pretty sure that it only applies for this semester (I’ll still double check on that).  Please come to tomorrow’s meeting with event ideas or other plans that involve our budget.
