Orlando SIGGRAPH is one of the most active and exciting local chapters in the country. We have the finest newsletter, great monthly presentations, a SIG Kids chapter that is active in education, a yearly (coming in November) VideoGanza (feature length presentation of the best in local animation talent – GREAT stuff around here, very talented peoples), a Computer Graphics Expo with local and national sales reps showing off their warez, and a yearly art show. Our next meeting is Thursday, September 9th at 7:00pm. We meet at the Orange County School System's Educational Leadership Center (fantastic facility) at 445 Amelia Street in downtown O-Town (across the street from the arena). Meetings are $3.00 for non-members, free to students and members. (Tell them I sent you as a guest and get in free once!) *** NOTE : That's a week from Thursday *** This month's meeting is gonna be GREAT! Reps from Sun Island Graphics will be demoing 3D Studio (of all things!)… HOPEFULLY with a sneak peak at r3! We will also have a representative from RealSoft, the makers of a fantastic Amiga, now Windows/Windows NT package called REAL3D. Features for this _$500_ package include reverse kinematics, particle animation, effects of physics (put a sphere on the table, tilt the table and the ball rolls down the incline!), etc, etc! Too good to be true?! Could be. But the Amiga people love it… and I cannot wait to see it. Please come out and see us. If you have any questions, call me at 830-4384. A couple of us normally go out for brews afterwards, you are welcome to tag along. This is the BEST time you could think of to become involved with Orlando SIGGRAPH…. SIGGRAPH 94 Nationals are right here in dear old O-Town. I cannot wait. Hope to here from you soon. Dan
