Trashed: The meeting is at 11 EST, GLR team party ends at 7:30.

Being that you live in canton (15 min from Ypsi) I think you'll be able to make it home in time. Unless your team is doing something else.

I'll try to attend the meeting, but I dont know if my team is doing something post-party. I assume if we do that'll be over by 9 or 9:30 which is still a decent amount of time for me to get home.

If I'm not there.. don't be too surprised, I'll try though.

Count me in too! This sounds awesome.. I'll be there Friday @ 11. My screen name is Evilstanley

oops, my bad, i thought it said am. i feel dumberer now..

*drool*

For the class of '03 and former teammates
 

This community is mainly for the development of FIRST's 3d artists. Older experienced teammates are encouraged to join to share their knowledge with others. If you are a senior or above (including mentors) and have max/CADing skills at or above advanced, you would be a great addition to this community. People can also help with resources if they want to help but can't contribute with experience (ie. hosting, software, money, ect., or just plain advertising). Anyone associated with a FIRST team and has a great desire to learn 3d software is the prime candidate to join. Anyone can contribute. If you can only contribute a little bit, let me know so I don't nag you to do other things. :)

Sounds like a great idea. I'll be glad to join. My AIM is UserNo3x19
Actually i am already working on my first tutorial/guide. Not sure when it will be done, but there is already some decent progress

Ah, the great Lev has joined...

So that brings the total to:

Bmud
Tyler Olds
Sunny Thaper
TEAM_74
Specialagentjim
Gadget470
ktech
AnimeRaul234
Trashed20
Lev
Ditritus

Any changes so far?

Looks like quite a strong force to start off with. Let me remind everyone, this list is of more than just members, it's of those that are committed to creating this community from the ground up- a kingdom in the making :)
If you just wanted to join but can't really contribute, let me know. I don't want to burden you with more stress.

Dag, I have 2 posts in a row- Oh well.

I was just thinking about how the people who do the CAD and/or Inventor work hardly get the credit they deserve.
Our community should do more to help these artists too. I mean, their work is hardly ever seen outside of their school. I'd like to provide a nice place were the pros could show off their work and get the respect they deserve and the beginners get the help from the skilled telling what they need to do better. Everyone's happy.
Well, thinking about it- I'd like the same for the texture makers, modelers, and animators. Well, yea, of course- but I really want to include the CAD/ Inventor people, they need it more than we do in my opinion. I think that the 3d animating software is more popular than the CADing software, so it maybe harder to find good sources of information. I could just be blinded my by passion though. :cool:

sorry that I missed the online meeting on tuesday....but are we thinking of making a web page to support this? In addition, how bout we make a thing like first cad library and have an unlimited supply of robot parts, for any team to use. If there is any important ideas that come up...if someone could email me cause I am rarely online at all in the night. thanks

The meeting was pretty much deciding that Friday was a good time to have the next meeting.

Both the website and the file library are pretty much a given in what we are going to do. It make take a little bit of time to get both up and running but that plus any other ideas we have are going to be discussed on Friday.

I'll try to keep you up-to-date on what happens.

Sorry it took me so long to respond JabzX. I have been overloaded with homework, and parents @*#$&% off about grades. I should hopefully be on tonight for the 11:00 meeting. My AIM s/n is ShadowyFigure05

anybody that is going to midwest...stop by our pits. Chris and I would like to meet up with you. On a side note, (I don't have easy access to the internet, so I usually with miss these online meetings, let em know what happens through my email or something, and is it allright if I write a tutorial.... I was thinking of materialing for realism or something like that.

New steps in a new world...
 

Ok everyone, it seems as though the community will be up for everyone to see very soon. All interested in helping with the website, contact me.

The next meeting will be this Fri. at 11pm (est). Get all your ideas and such ready.

I'd like those of you who want to do tutorials to start now.

Make sure I know you and what you want to do to help out, I don't want to miss anyone.

I'd like everyone who can to get AIM or at least e-mail me if you need to ask/tell me something. The site will be created soon and we should have a place (forum) to communicate and to deliver information that way.

OH- one more thing. A name, we need a name for this community. Try to think of some between now and Friday. That will be a day of many decisions- make sure you can be there.

This thing is about to take off...:)

Thanks everyone!!:D

I will not be able to attend because I will be at competition.

same here...give me an email like you did last time.

thanx

Hmm... I was thinking of something along the lines of

"For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Techonology's Graphic Artists"

Also known as F.I.R.S.T. G.A.

or possibly just "For Inspiration and Recognition of Graphic Artists" lol um.. aka F.I.R.G.A.? lol I think the first one is better.
