Blender Conference 2007 Suzanne Awards Winners
This year’s Suzanne Award winners have been announced last Saturday Night, and all the winners received a new and improved transparent Suzanne statue (‘unbreakable’, according to Ton ;-)
So far, none of the Conference’s video material has been published to the web. From what I heard there were problems with the download.blender.org server – I’m hoping that as soon as that’s solved all the material will be put online, including the full Suzanne Awards presentation.
Design the BlenderNation Header – First Result!
Last week I invited all of you to design a new BlenderNation header and we received quite a few excellent entries. Today I made my first selection: it’s the banner by Gustav the Mushroom. I selected it because it fits very well in the site design and I like the clean, mathematical 3D look. Congratulations Gustav! Your image will be on the site until next week.
