National PhotoWorks User Group

Yay from here, G. De Angelis

Yay from here the backend for nowhere Lil' old New Zealand, even though I mainly use MaxwellRender, it would be useful to get up to speed with PhotoWorks for quick renders.

A PhotoWorks Wiki would also be of some use.

Nay. .....but would like to to see the results from a collaborative effort of youse guys! It might get me motivated! Thanks for the contest Rock Guy. Cool stuff there. I wanted to vote, but couldn't decide between Ed and Matt, so I abstained.

Reaper.

What is your vision for what it would look like and how it would operate? if it is virtual, how would it be different than the PWx group on the subscription site? No slam - I'm just curious about your vision - I would be happy to contribute, but I would like to know what kind of thing you are thinking of. If its folks asking questions and others responding, we have that in several spots already (comp.cad.solidworks and the SWx discussion board) and we would all get spread even thinner with yet another website to monitor every morning when we get into work (that's my habit). Or it could be like the Cosmos groups, where they meet in person and have dynamic meetings where they trade tips in the same room, but that carries with it the burden of getting people toghether. Perhaps I'm too small minded, relying on existing infrs-structures - what is your proposal?

I was thinking of starting a online live usergroup once a month for those that find it hard to get to their local usergroup meetings or do not have a local usergroup. Everyone that has speakers on their puter can log into a meeting and listen and those that have a mic can add to the meeting. This in a webcast format with powerpoint type presentations. Maybe the photoworks usergroup would be a better candidate for this concept... what do you think?

Count me in.

Perhaps we could also 'allow' Maxwell info to be part of the discussion.

I'm not one to usually pass on something SolidWorks, but I probably will on this one since I don't do PhotoWorks. I also don't have free time right now to play. But, I do like what you are proposing.

WT

I'm in as well.
