Some of you may remember this post. It ended up being lost when we had some hosting issues. I’m reposting it for those that may have missed it and for reference for those that are interested.

The Blender Institute Amsterdam will host a “Blender Sprint”, meant to speed up and synchronize development of physics code in Blender.

The call for content for Issue # 13 of Blenderart magazine has begun. The next issue will be focused on “Fantasy”. If you have a great image or tutorial, about Orcs, Dragons or anything related to Fantasy, this might be your chance to publish an article or image.
Composite Boolean Operations Using the Node Editor
I can’t get enough of the Node Editor. Today, we present a setup which will mix object materials based on boolean intersections. It’s even got real math, too :)
Incongruitastic, a Surreal Mystery/Comedy/Fantasy/Thriller

Organic Shaders Workshop
Looking for cool organic Blender materials? Check out this thread on BlenderArtists.org. It’s a golden oldie that started almost three years ago. It contains lots of samples and quite a few .blends for download. Some of these materials are not easy on the stomach if you just woke up which is a big compliment to the creators! ;-)

Also, there have been a couple grumblings here and on the forums by people who submit their work, but sadly do not get it accepted into the gallery. It is unfortunate that all submissions can’t be accepted to the gallery and it is a tough task to try picking out a few of the very best submissions each month. However, here are a few tips that might help you get your work accepted:
