I've been using Carrara for a couple of years and have gotten to the point of actually doing some commercial work to earn money with it.
I'm in West Florida (Tampa) and have been trying to find others near here who would like to start a User Group that would meet regularly to share ideas, tips, etc. I feel certain that there are many others across the country who might a similar interest.
It would be great if ShareCG could act as a kind of conduit to help interested people find each other. Perhaps just a request for people to list themselves as interested would be enough or you could get further involved by actually trying to form groups directly (probably not).
If I knew of interested people in theTampa Bay area, I would certainly be willing to attempt to form such a group.
Please consider it.
