In April we had our annual President's Address at our office (HMC Architects) - I was given the "President's Award" and was promoted to an Associate.
Our marketing department created announcements for everyone promoted - a PDF copy is attached below.
"On Thursday, February 5th, long-time member Christopher Grant will be showing his latest architectural image of the UCSD Rady School of Management (see image below) at Kelar Pacific’s facility in San Diego. He will be giving a comprehensive demonstration on all aspects of the creation of the stunning image he created. It was selected as Vismasters image of the week for December 15."

Finally eliminated some of my older work from the gallery...
I've noticed my gallery section is getting ridiculously long. The problem with this business is you spend countless hours on a project, then a year later it seems outdated but I find it hard to remove... Oh well, I'll clean it out soon so its easier to keep track of whats new / better content...
My rendering of UCSD Rady School of Management was selected as the VisMasters image of the week on December 15.
This past Thursday night I had the opportunity to present some of my recent work and rendering techniques to the San Diego 3ds Max User Group http://members.cox.net/sd3dsmug/sdmaxug.html ... I've actually been going to the San Diego meetings periodically for the past 15 years or so ... I'm going to try and put some more material together and present again in another couple months.

I've put up my portfolio quickly using a drupal module called "Fast Gallery" which does exactly what it says - creates a gallery "fast"... However, it doesn't give me the control I need to sort & provide descriptions per render... So for now I'll keep it up but over the next few weeks I'll redo the portfolio section so it has descriptions per project and can be sorted chronologically...
I'll be updating the gallery / site backend so content may be up or down intermittantly...
Ever wondered what its like working in the 3D industry? Check out this hilarious video on YouTube!
I've recently stumbled upon a website / podcast by the guys over at Geeks and God - www.geeksandgod.com
They talk about a lot of things like blogging, social networking, drupal, church a/v and tons of other stuff that is really valuable for those of us who are into tech and church. Even if you're not into church, its a really well done podcast and anyone doing drupal work especially should check em out.
Great job guys!
