I just wanted to let everyone know that MegaCon has been great so far.
Our panel talk on video games and digital artwork went very well. There were over 250 people in the room- in fact, people were standing against the side and rear walls.
We talked about past game development on an Apple II, then making artwork on the Apple IIGS, then modern-day game development of making models in Lightwave, rigging it in Poser Pro Game Dev, exporting to fbx format, and then bringing the model into Unity.
We then answered some questions from the audience- one lady asked if it was better to learn more skills and have a broad knowledge or concentrate on being an expert in one skill.
One of the fun things that happened is that we met a lady cosplaying as Padme Amidala from "Star Wars: Episode II- Attack of the Clones". She even helped us pass out flyers to people as they came into the room!
The convention itself was full of people in costume. We saw tons of "Doctor Who", "Star Wars", and even some huge Mech Warrior style outfits that people made themselves!
