Forward: I wrote this on Tuesday and forgot to hit that all important publish button. So the yesterday that follows here is actually monday.

Let me back up a little, to yesterday morning. Vladimir and I walked in, looking for the e-on software booth. We’d seen it several times on the map, but walking in one doesn’t always know at what entrance they’re coming in at, so it can be difficult to orientate. The e-on software people are pretty good at the display thing though. I had only to look up to see the cube with the logo on in and Vue 8.

There would be our Siggraph “home” for the duration of the convention.

The exhibition hall at the time was filled with wooden crates, moving equipment, and the accouterments of putting displays together. Over the course of the day, all the vendors finished getting everything set up, and soon purple carpet was rolled out for all the

This morning, as exhibitors, we entered the hall early to make sure we had everything in line for the demos. I was the first one up, showing Vue 8 Infinite. I think others were nervous for me as well as myself having a few butterflies. Everyone was assuring me that not many people would be there since it was early on the first day. 9:30 arrived and the doors were opened for all attendees. That was quite a sight, to see a wave of people sweep into the hall.

I began my presentation, and little by little every seat was filled, then several people were standing around. Wow. But really, the number of people were never a factor in my nervousness. I have been so excited to get to play with the program, and was familiar with all the new features, but was nervous as to whether I would get every point in the presentation. I think I did okay though. I’ve now seen the same presentation on Vue 8 Infinite by both Vladimir and the other presenter, Nicholas Pelligrino. I did three of the four presentations I prepared myself, and also Vue 8 xStream. Feeling a bit adventurous, I opened Maya and showed off the biggest improvement in Vue: that of the terrain editor. Then I opened up two more applications and ran Vue 8 xStream in them. It all went very smoothly and I was quite pleased with that particular presentation.

As well as doing those, I walked around and answered a lot of questions. Like I had suspected yesterday, it was quite enjoyable to work with everyone at e-on.

I also managed to see a couple of other booths. One was a motion capture booth and the other a 3D printer one. Very cool stuff. I may have more information about some of the others there in the coming days.
