After a highly successful first PAMUG meeting we have decided to roll out the plans for the second event. Thanks again to everyone (especially Matt) for making the first meeting such a good one.

Our first meeting was a success and we look forward to building on that momentum with this next event. Be sure to mark the 22nd on your calendar and show up ready to meet fellow modo users in the area and be informed (and informative).

We will be posting some of the demonstrations from the fist PAMUG here so be sure to watch this spot for updates.

PAMUG #1 Demo - Using Indirect Range for a fast "GI like" render

This is a re-recorded version of using Indirect Range at a small value, combined with a blurred HDRI in modo to achieve a fast and stable render that has a GI like feel.
