This was fun. I missed the end of each day's second session, so I can't wait to listen to the recording. It was certainly packed with information and I was very pleased with Planetside participation, that was a nice surprise. I felt the sessions could have been longer (maybe with a mini-break halfway through) to get through all the content. There were some questions along the way that I was holding back because I was focused on the presentation and did want to delay. Also I feel there could have been a little more interaction in the room if the time constraints permitted it.
The only thing that I'd like to have had - Martin that comes to mind now from your presentation, which was excellent, was a more in-depth discussion of achieving color variations over a population (of trees). I know it's almost a topic in itself and there have been whole threads about it, but seeing it demonstrated is just so much better than reading through a thread. Having said that I can't wait to get my hands on that presentation of yours and TGD.
As for Frank, there are some things that I took away that will improve my clouds and give me more control. Having the interplay of parameter settings explained was definitely helpful. Very inspiring session.
The TOSCARS session was fun and finally Ron's presentation was very different but also interesting, though I had to sign off halfway through, so I'll have to see what I missed.
With the microphone I was probably in the same boat as others as I had lots of background noise where I was sitting so I typed my questions in rather than disrupting the session. I thought it worked well. Paul did a great job bringing the chat questions to the presenter's attention.
But perhaps the biggest surprise for me was seeing how you guys work. For example I never copy coordinates, I always wait for the preview render and then manually copy the displayed coordinates - now I know a better way. The measure dialog is another one. There were many others. This alone will vastly improve my workflow.
Thanks for putting this together, hope there will be another event like this in the not too distant future.
