The New York City Blender User's Group http://www.blendernyc.org
is holding a meeting at Polytechnic Institute of NYU, Brooklyn in Rogers
Hall 474 on Saturday, March 7th at 2pm.

Nick Porcaro will be presenting his work which uses the Blender Game Engine and Pure Data http://www.puredata.org in support of free improv art/music, and Daniel Houghton will be discussing his short film called Pitch http://download.blender.org/demo/movies/bc08/Best_short_film/Daniel-Houghton_Pitch.avi.

This gathering is for anyone interested in connecting or reconnecting to the Blender community in New York City.  We encourage discussion of recent work, future projects, and ideas for collaboration.

Blender http://www.blender.org is a free open source 3D content creation suite, available for all major operating systems under the GNU General Public License. It compares well to software like Maya or 3D Studio Max.

If you want to see what Blender is capable of, check out:
Elephant's Dream: http://www.elephantsdream.org
Big Buck Bunny: http://www.bigbuckbunny.org
Yo Frankie!: http://www.yofrankie.org

These projects are all supported by the Blender Foundation, and Yo Frankie! is particularly interesting as it represents a lot of recent improvements to the Blender Game Engine, enabling more advanced real time support.

Hope to see you there!
