I'm leaving for the End User Event 2012 in a couple of hours time, so I won't be updating the site until next week. If you are also going to be there, come and say 'Hello', if you're not going, try and make it next year. You won't regret it!

Sorry about the lack of updates here for the past few weeks. I'll be starting to update the site a bit more often now.

The post below about work is still valid, if you need a 3D generalist just get in touch. Big thanks to the guys from Assembly Ltd. for the work last week!

Due to a letter from the tax people a couple of days ago, I am now desperately looking for any work that might be going. I'm a generalist specialising in product shots, TV commercials and technical animations, but I will try my hand at just about anything except characters / game stuff. Remote contracting would be ideal unless you happen to be around my area of Germany.

I've updated the gallery at my website with the most recent stuff from the past year or so, there's links to online versions of most of the projects. If you want to get in touch, just use the email link above, or use the contact page at Animation Design.

It's that time of year again when I put in a plug for the End User Event 2012, which is taking place again this year in Utrecht (Holland). On May 31st and June 1st you get the chance to meet up with people from all over the world who are doing incredible things with Max and other M & E products.

The two days consist of a large number of talks on subjects ranging from film work to architectural visualization, rendering theory to visual effects breakdowns, and much more. The list of speakers this year is once again like a 'Who's Who' of the 3ds Max world. The program, which is now pretty much final, can be found here, and covers a wide range of subjects. There should be something for just about everyone in there.

Aside from the calibre of the speakers, the best part of the event is that they are all available for a chat between sessions in the bar (did I mention that the event is held in a pub?). If you can make it there, I can pretty much guarantee that you won't regret it. And if you see me there, make sure you say 'Hello'!

Edit: I just found this promo video on YouTube, it looks like even aliens are going there now :o)

With one exception, these are all straight recompiles with no changes. The exception is BlurPartForce, which I've updated to work with MassFX. Two plugins are still missing from the zipfile: L-System Object and MultiBlend. These need some major changes due to Unicode support in Max 2013, and I haven't got them finished yet.

If any of the plugins I'm recompiling are useful to you, please consider pressing the Donations button on the left, as all of this work is being done in my spare time.
