In cooperation with 3DPDX and AEPDX, VFX\/PDX brought us together through events that were entertaining, relevant, and substantial.  No matter if your weapon of choice was Nuke, Houdini, After Effects, Mocha, Resolve, and so on &#8211; we took time to increase awareness, demo new techniques, and appreciate artists and studios using these tools to produce great work in Portland and beyond.  <br>As we approach 2020, it&#8217;s time for a new chapter&#8230;   literally.   We are thrilled to announce that VFX\/PDX and 3DPDX are merging to form the Portland SIGGRAPH chapter, and that our initial board is a dream team of Portland community makers.  This expanded team is unified in our mission to get together and &#8220;shop it up&#8221; like never before, while remaining volunteer, non-profit, and free for all.  <strong>Boom!<\/strong>  Just like the explosion in the old VFX\/PDX logo&#8230;  sometimes you have to blow things up to make things better, and I hope the VFX\/PDX spirit will live on as a successful and organized SIGGRAPH chapter for years to come.<br>Plug in at <a href=\"http:\/\/portland.siggraph.org\/\">http:\/\/portland.siggraph.org<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since I founded VFX\/PDX in 2012, it has served as the Portland area user group for all things VFX.
