Okay So I've got one last Users group meeting for you guys, and since its in December, it counts as a 3December Event.. get it,, 3 D ...
Mark Schonnagal is coming to show how to harness the power of softimage from maya using the interoperability tools between maya and soft. Mark is the lead application engineer for Autodesk softimage.
Brian Drewes of ZYNC will be on hand to give a demo of their cloud based online rendering solution. We've talked a lot about cloud based render and storage systems and ZYNC, and I'm eager to see a little more into what zync is, and how it can ease the pain of render farms for small studios and artists.
Brian Drewes is the CEO and co-founder of ZYNC. With nearly 20 years experience as a producer and executive producer on the west and east coast on both commercials and feature films, Brian started ZYNC as a solution to allow boutique facilities and individual artists to utilize massive and powerful computing resources in an on-demand hourly fashion without needing any of the capital start up costs that come with building and maintaining a large render farm.
