Tony Mullen will be hosting a series of Blender-related workshops and presentations in Bogota, Colombia this August. It seems like BlenderHeads are being invited to show up all over the world these days. Time to post my résumé somewhere ;-)
Pablo (venomgfx) has made an interesting 10 minute video demonstrating a few different ways of using nodes and some GLSL features for real time game effects.
Everyone knows endi– he’s one of those guys who can’t seem to touch the computer without making something fabulous. So when endi decided to try out the Blender Game Engine, it was inevitable that something amazing would result.

A few weeks ago, and article about the development of true volumetrics in Blender was published here. Well, now there are test builds available, along with a tutorial at graphicall.org!
If you live nearby Krems – Austria, Karl Kühberger will teach a Blender Workshop at Danube University Krems.
Here is the full description of the Workshop by Karl Kühberger:
The Danube University Krems (Austria) has invited me to teach Blender in a workshop of five full days. The workshop will be held in German language and will take place in the time between 26th to 28th of August (3 days modeling and texturing) and 27th to 28th of September (2 days rigging and animation).
An article about Big Buck Bunny was published on Linux.com, and it`s a great summary of the project. A few extra details are revealed in the article, like the overall cost of the project.
Would you like to learn how to export your scenes to the MAP file format? This is a format supported by some Id software’s games like Quake. If you want to create scenarios for these games with Blender, a very interesting tutorial shows how to export and setup models to this file format.
Do you remember Project London? The independent feature film, which uses Blender for 3d animation and some effects, has a great clip with a sample animation. And again, the clip has some impressive animations!
Since Blender 2.46 has been released, ResPower has now added support for it.
If you are looking to speed up your rendering time or in a crunch to complete a project, check out ResPower. They offer a very reasonable Blender rate schedule, good for 30 days.
