Despite the big chill in the weather. Everyone seemed to make it to the basement of the Bastone Restaurant(or Commune as they call it) in Royal oak. Several people brought laptops and portable DVD players to show off their animations, Zbrush modeling, and image renderings.
Dan Kessler, www.kessler3D.com, showed off a 7 minute Character animation piece for his corporate client. It really was a full blown mini CG cartoon.
Blair Adams and Clarence Rice were their with the laptops out. No doubt Clarence was showing off his wicked modeling and texture work he has done for Armstrong-White.

Here are some others that I met while I was there.
Richard Miga, Synergistic solutions ,
