Day 3 - Revit Technology Conference 2012 #RTCUSA

Today marks day 3 of my Revit Technology Conference adventure and boy was it a cracker.  I started the day with a 9:00AM Lab about Vasari and Dynamo given by Matt Jezyk (click here to read about it). I missed my second class because I was getting ready for my lab.  I did make it to Scott Davis's (@scottddavis) lecture on "Rapid Energy Modeling".  Scott, Matt Jezyk, and myself all happened to be speaking about practically the same thing, but I think we all have very different ways of speaking about it.  Scott did a great job and jammed an incredible amount of information in a short period of time.

Finally, it was time for my very first Revit Technology Lab titled "Revit Energy Analysis Workflow: Analyzing Your Model from Concept to Reality".  When the conference in over I will post the handout.  If you don't count the internet not allowing anyone to sign on to Autodesk 360 I'd say it went pretty well.  The room was full and everyone seemed very engaged.  For those of you who sat in on the lab thanks for coming and I hope you took something away from it.  I plan on breaking down my lab content into a smaller video series here on The Revit Kid.com for all of you who did not get to attend.  So look out for that sometime this summer.

The last class I sat in on today was freaking awesome to say the least.  Marcello Sgambelluri, or "the elephant man" according to Jim Balding, demonstrated the possible workflow of Revit to 3D Max to the CryEngine 3 game engine.  All I kept thinking about is how I cannot wait to throw my masters thesis building into CryEngine and blow it up with some grenades...  Yeah... It is that cool.  I am sure I will be talking more about this considering the amount of real time visualization software I have been exploring lately...(I already bought the book...)

Looking forward to some cool lectures tomorrow about adaptive components and extending my BIM models to shop/fabrication.  

Until then I will leave you with one Pro and one Con of today:

• Con:  The Internet is absolutely atrocious.
  
• Pro:  This awesome creation we had for breakfast...
  

 

RTC North America 2012 - Tomorrow!

I will be getting up bright and early tomorrow morning and heading to Atlanta for the Revit Technology Conference. For those of you going, I look forward to meeting you!  For those of you not attending, make sure to keep an eye on the blog here and also to follow me on Twitter @TheRevitKid .  I will be trying to post as much as possible on both sites.

Also, don't forget to sign up via email to the blog in case you always forget to check the site itself (sign up next to the red arrow to the right ----->>>>>>)

Four days of Revit discussion, labs, complaints, and brilliance!  Looking forward to it!

RTC - VisDay 2012

Dan asked if I could post this and it looks interesting so I will!

VisDay is a premier forum on advances in computer generated visualisation for the architecture, engineering and construction industries. We have pulled together a powerful line-up of speakers including Chaos Group from Bulgaria, SHW group, HKS and VEO from the United states and local talent from Flood Slicer and Atomic 3D.

Presentations include immersive 3D animations, gaming engines utilizing huge datasets, green screen live action compositing and the unveiling of the much anticipated VEO.  Attendees will be able to participate in candid, unvarnished discussions with likeminded individuals, have one-on-one access to industry experts, unique networking opportunities and instructional lectures from some of the best in the industry including step by step instructions on how to produce stunning architectural visualizations in both mental ray and V-Ray.

Where else are you going to be able to get this caliber of training or collection of industry heavy weights at a single event in Australasia?

The details for the VisDay 2012 event are as follows:

Where:               Picturesque Wollongong
Date:                   23^rd May, 2012
Time:                  9:30 – 17:30

RTC 2012 North America - Register Now!

If you have not done so already go register for Revit Technolog Conference North America 2012 in Atlanta!

Once you have registered make sure you sign up for my Lab on Friday at 4:00:

I was truly hoping to do the second abstract I submitted about Design Options (considering there is not a lot out there and I am hesitant to tackle it on the blog... but it looks like the blog it will be!).

It is so cool to be on the list of speakers for RTC after all these years of reading other peoples bios!  Not to mention being placed on a page next to so many brilliant Revit minds, many of which I have admired for a long time.  I am so excited for this event and I hope that I can meet lots of my readers!
