I was able to catch Ton between the Blender Birds of Feather conferences, we decided to tape the interview in the hallway to get a bit of the ambiance of the SIGGRAPH conference. We certainly did get some ambiance, Fjorg was being held in the room around the corner.
Some great updates on the Plumiferos blog. Its great to see some activity there. We know they have all been hard at work finishing the film.
Do you know the process of animation? Well, if you don`t know for sure all steps; just take a look at some videos produced by Dale Mayers Animation Studios, where Dale Mayers himself, explains all the process. The videos go through five steps, from the storyboard until the rendering.
Tony Mullen and Roland Hess were invited to the Wiley & Sons Author Dinner at SIGGRAPH.
David Revoy spotted a bunch of Blender screenshots in the French Microsoft knowledgebase (Babelfish translation). Nothing fancy, but enough to make me chuckle and hopefully you, too!
A very good video tutorial has been released by Montage Studio, showing the entire process for modeling a Lowpoly character with Blender, for using in game projects. The video has a total running time of approximately 50 min, and it`s in high quality 1024 x 768.
With the end of SIGGRAPH 2007, a lot of cool stuff related to the conference and contests are showing up in the web. A video about FJORG! was released last week, showing that some team was using Blender during the competition! Yes, besides all the resources available like Maya, 3ds max and XSI, it`s really good to see a team using Blender.
