Drop-in Days
I wanted to tell you all about a number of ‘3ds Max drop-in-days’ I have organised throughout the UK. Please sign-up if you feel that would benefit from attending one of these sessions. This is your chance to stay ahead of the competition….
3ds Max/Design UK ‘Drop-in-Days’
As it’s not always possible to attend the latest new feature presentations for 3ds Max and 3ds Max Design, I’ve created twelve FREE drop-in-days to be held at various locations throughout England. If you wish to attend, then please click on one of the below links, and an exact time and address will be emailed to you. Please note these are on a first come basis, and will be limited to a 60 minute time-slot. The first of these dates are shown below. To be one of the first to hear of future dates, please click here.
This is your chance to have a 1-2-1 informal discussion, focusing around best practices and techniques relevant to your workflow. These sessions are designed for you to maximize your return on investment in 3ds Max and 3ds Max Design, and are not necessarily 2010 release specific. I would also request that you bring along some examples of your recent work on a USB key.
The drop-in-days are open to any existing users of either 3ds Max or 3ds Max Design, and for those looking to see how 3ds Max/Design 2010 can enhance their projects. Your industry type does not matter for these sessions.
This is your chance to see why there is a huge amount of excitement around the latest 3ds Max/Design 2010.

Connection Extension for 3ds Max 2010
I also want to take this opportunity to remind you there is a new extension only available for subscription customers running 3ds Max/Design 2010. Make sure you log into the subscription center to download this extremely powerful connectivity extension. A full spec of what this brings can be found below.
The Connection Extension for Autodesk(r) 3ds Max(r) 2010 software makes it easier and more cost-effective to turn external designs into more accurate, creative advertisements by delivering new levels of interoperability, based on intelligent data workflows, between 3ds Max and design packages from Autodesk and certain third-parties.
Features and Benefits
1. Streamlined compositing with OpenEXR—Streamline your 3D-to-compositing workflow. A rewritten OpenEXR translator supports HDR workflows with advanced compositing applications.
2. Enhanced interoperability with Design Data - Bring solid models from many of your favorite CAD packages into 3ds Max for visual enhancement or conceptual design. A new high-fidelity SAT data translator helps make it easier to move solids-based data between 3ds Max and the Autodesk(r) Alias(r) family of products, Autodesk(r) Inventor(r) Professional software, and certain other design products without translating to polygons.
3. Intelligent workflows - Helps save time with new, more effective workflows for dealing with complex scenes.
4. Extensive connectivity with Google(tm) SketchUp(tm) modeling software - A powerful new SKP file translator enables you to bring SketchUp scenes into 3ds Max with minimal effort and get right to work rendering or enhancing the visuals. Also, 3ds Max can now read numerous free models from the 3D Warehouse section of the Google website.
