Buenos días a todos! (Good morning everyone! :])

And we are set for CodePen Dayton [#5]: 3D Low-Poly Designs. \m/

For this time we are again connecting via Google Hangouts with a CodePen powerhouse, Karim Maaloul.

Most of you must know Karim from his "Chill the Lion (http://codepen.io/Yakudoo/pen/YXxmYR)" Pen (with 1,946 hearts and counting), which earned him the #1 spot in the 100 Most Hearted Pens of 2015 (http://codepen.io/2015/popular/pens/10/).

Karim is based in Liège, Belgium. He’s an illustrator, UI/UX designer, coder and children books author. He is the Creative Director and co-founder of the digital agency, Epic (http://epic.net/).

Check out Karim’s CodePen work (http://codepen.io/Yakudoo/); the design, UX, illustrations are incredibly captivating. Same goes for his code. I assure you, you’ll have a smile on your face when viewing Karim’s demos.

A particular note: I’ve always felt so engaged with Karim’s work, that I couldn’t help to heart every single one of his Pens.

HUGE Thanks to Karim for coming to CodePen Dayton!

New Location

This time we are going to host CodePen Dayton at the BarryStaff building.

They are located right across the street from Proto BuildBar and Sparkbox.

To give you an idea of how far it is, it’s 2 minutes away from Proto BuildBar… on foot (https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Proto+BuildBar,+East+1st+Street,+Dayton,+OH/230+Webster+St,+Dayton,+OH+45402/@39.7643545,-84.1846608,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m13!4m12!1m5!1m1!1s0x884083fcd2f8ebd9:0x3ea45bbe40b01270!2m2!1d-84.1825585!2d39.7636706!1m5!1m1!1s0x884083e322b0ff45:0x50356cbb39005cba!2m2!1d-84.1824478!2d39.7650302?hl=en-US) ;].

The address is: 230 Webster Street Dayton, Ohio 45402 (https://www.google.com/maps/place/230+Webster+St,+Dayton,+OH+45402/@39.76503,-84.182448,15z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x884083e322b0ff45:0x50356cbb39005cba?hl=en-US) (Map)

For those that need to get on the highway ASAP after the meetup, it takes literally 4 minutes to do so (https://www.google.com/maps/dir/39.7723956,-84.1814842/230+Webster+St,+Dayton,+OH+45402/@39.7687477,-84.1846557,17z/data=!4m14!4m13!1m5!3m4!1m2!1d-84.1834312!2d39.7716858!3s0x884083e051551a83:0x9a15ff6836e6c140!1m5!1m1!1s0x884083e322b0ff45:0x50356cbb39005cba!2m2!1d-84.1824478!2d39.7650302!3e0?hl=en-US) (map).

Also, let's not forget the Gregor Challenge: Fractals. Which we usually do a Show-and-Tell style.

Use this Pen as a starting point (http://codepen.io/pixelass/pen/zrOBrw/) for your fractal.

As usual, we are also going to raffle CodePen Pro and a SitePoint Premium memberships.

This time we're bumping the spots from 20 to 35 spots!

With all this good stuff, I think you're ready to RSPV now :)

See you on February 2!

PS. What is a 3D Low-Poly Design?

“Low Poly was a technique originally used for making 3D models and scenes for videogames, due to its render speed, which was achieved thanks to low polygonal resolution.” - Read more here (http://www.awwwards.com/low-poly-illustration-what-s-the-secret.html).
