My AU2015 Wrap-up

The amazing, spectacular, and jam packed learning adventure of AU2015 is over.
As always there are a few stand-out classes that I had the privilege of attending.

The first was Marcello's Dynamo class, More Practical Dynamo.  I've been watching Marcello teach some amazing things for many years, and I'm happy to see that the Dynamo he is teaching this year is in fact Practical for a small scale project structural firm like ours.  I look forward to becoming a Dynamo HERO this year....

Second on my favorite list this year was a fun demo class on 3ds Max and Stingray.  This class, Interactive Virtual Reality for BIM Data sets and Simulation Using Stingray and 3ds Max, was by Alex Horst.  If you have the opportunity I highly recommend watching it online, it's quite an amazing look into virtual reality for us structural peeps. 

As for my class, Beautiful Structure Rendering Structural Revit Models with 3ds Max, things went splendidly and here's a clip from the class shortly before starting.  Also below, the Final Render Image for the class.

Bash to the future

So last night was the close out party for AU2015.  What a great time.   Everyone was treated to incredible food and drinks at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.   There was even an appearance from a couple of Stormtroopers who karaoked The Final Countdown and posed for pictures with a very tall Lady Vader!  I was lucky enough to partake in Stormtrooper photos as well!
