I grew up in Louisiana...talk about hot and humid. When I go back to visit I often wonder how I survived breathing that thick air.

If anybody is still looking for a hotel I just got one in boulder that's pretty cheap £40/$60 a night. You get double bed, internet, fridge, pool, breakfast and free local calls. I think I might be going on a bit more of a budget than most others still being a lowly student but its a pretty good deal.

Its less than a mile from the base-camp so an easy walk here is the address http://www.americasbestvalueinn.com/bestv.cfm?idp=1668

Hey Liam, sounds like a fun place to stay but I have a place to stay, thanks.

Nice and cheap too but helping out in the kitchen at night and communal showers is not my cup of tea... I just hope you read the fine print and agreed to the terms....

Im just trying to save as much as I can as soon as i get back from basecamp im going to Ibiza and ill need as much as I can save for that not that ill be slumming it in America but I would rather spend my money on touristy stuff since its my first time in the states!

Normally i'll be comming over from Belgium.
What's the best way to travel from denver to boulder?
Any other European delegates?

Gaieus

There is a shuttle bus service between the airport and Boulder (BTW the airport is just about the same distance / time from Denver than Boulder). It's supposed to be some $ 20 (around this value at least). I do not know the details but I'll have to look them up myself.

Seeing there's quite a few of us arriving Tuesday and in anticipation of Solos' carnival, maybe we post our mobile numbers somewhere. I have Daves; Eric, we arrive around the same time into Denver, I think we discussed catching a cab or something....?

There is an identification thread here somewhere actually so i should check there i guess.

Is it wise to post mobile numbers? Texting may be the best way to communicate til we're all in the same room...

Excuse me, but i presumed when i booked a room that i wouldn't be sharing? Won't it be a little bit crammed?

Graziano Terenzi

Hi,
just a note to inform you that we will attend the 3D Basecamp.
I'm happy to hear that you all will be there too.
Yet I don't know if we'll be able to get to the meeting before basecamp event in time.
Regards

Graziano

Shaderlight for SketchUp

I have seen this thread and will be upfront that I work for ArtVPS who is developing Shaderlight.

I can confirm that Shaderlight will have the ability to place light sources in a model, we have 5 different light options including IES profiles, so you will be able to quickly place the light profiles to give realistic lighting information. We have also included a new Physical Sky system, which will be a much more realistic version of the SketchUp shadow system.

I am going to be at Basecamp next week and will have a slot presenting Shaderlight. But if anybody is there and would like to see the near complete version of Shaderlight I would be happy to sit down and show the software and answer direct questions, I will buy the coffee.
