Hi there! Pablo taught me a little bit of simple artist-friendly Python and how we lighters/compositors can utilize it for preparing the animated shots for the render farm – in other words: To Automate our Workflow. Hopefully it will benefit some of you, dear readers, as well :) A little bit about the lighting/compositing process […]

Still a lot of work is going to be needed to get the final renders, but as you can see here it’s already looking fantastic. Andy is making miracles here! See the tornado in motion Andy […]
The Blender Institute will be graced with another brilliant mind for the next two weeks: Julian Eisel (probably better known to most of you as Severin) has come to Amsterdam to help Antonis build widgets! Julian is the youngest in the studio (he’s currently studying computer science in Homburg, Germany) but he’s become an enthusiastic […]
It’s Monday again! Which means it’s time to put the weekend behind us and recap how last week ended in the Blender studio. You know the drill: catch the full weekly video right here, and then continue on to the highlights for some more insight and a couple of things that weren’t quite ready in […]
