An after party took place after the 3December event at local hot spot RedPin Lounge. The restaurant was packed with artists, professionals, students, and educators from all over the nation. Complimentary food and drinks were provided by Digital-Tutors. Sponsors of the after party and event also included Autodesk, HP, Intel, Wacom, Skyline Ink, Journey Ed, Funnel Design Group, Midtown Redevelopment, CineSys, The Oklahoma State Chamber, The Oklahoma Gazette, PDC, IPGI, Stash Magazine, Craft Animations, Red Rock Distributing, Kyle Terry, DeadCenter Film Festival, and Animation Magazine.

This event was really a blast. Thanks to all of the speakers and sponsors of the event. A huge thanks to the DT folks including Dan (one of our DT mods) for coming to the show.

I'm glad you all had a good time.

Can't wait to see what you will do when DT's anniversary comes up.. You guys ALWAYS put on a good show, even when the weather does not cooperate and interns are being swept away by hurrican winds. Thank you for always putting on informative and usually amusing events.

P.s. I was not about to put on those 3d glasses!!! Its bad enough looking at 3d with normal vision!!

Yet again DT has managed to wow us with not just another outstanding event--as we've all grown accustomed to, but the best to date! Thanks for all you do to support our growing 3D community. My students had a great time!
