Lucas adds a better caching feature, I grab the camera and film the action. Nothing special, just a regular day in the Blender Institute! -Ton-

See it all in the weekly livecast below and soak up the details in the Highlights (with plenty of new Gooseberry […]

Compliments to the whole team for getting this done, and special kudos to Andy and Lukas!

It was […]
