With the advent of more powerful computers and the trickle down effect of industry technology, 3D imagery has become a reality and widely accessible for designers today. We are immersed in it everyday from gaming, movies, daily products, commercials to fine arts. Have you ever wondered how the amazing imagery was created and the workflow involved in it? This July, our speakers will give you some insight into what it takes to create a 3D project, what it means and how it applies to you as a designer.

Our speakers comes from a diverse set of backgrounds and disciplines ranging from fine to commercial arts. Their insight will hopefully get you excited and inspire you to create your own 3D imagery and projects.

Henry Lee is a self-taught 3D Artist and has worked with Bryce, Carrara, Daz Studio and Poser to create his works. A graduate of the Cleveland Institute of Art’s Industrial Design program, he has spoken on the subject of 3D in the past for CDPUG. You can see examples of his work on his gallery here (http://bit.ly/Oxgvej). Also CDPUG’s eZine Editor, he will be the host for the evening’s program.

Our meeting hosts: Anthony Buehrer and Brian Milliff of SmartShape Design. Anthony and Brian will guide us through a 3D sample workflow from start to finish using various tools to achieve their completed project.
