Free Blender Workshop in Paris this Saturday

Francois “CoyHot” Grassard will be creating this scene during a 2.5 hour session in Paris this Saturday. He needs 30 signups though to ensure that the event can happen!

Hope you’re fine. Just a quick E-Mail because i’m in the rush … as usual .. :o)

Next Saturday in Paris, France, I’ll make a conference about the FX pipeline in Blender (about 2 hour and a half).

The purposes of this conference are :

  • Cycles
  • 3D Tracking
  • Lightning using IBL (Mirror Ball)
  • Mocap
  • Compositing to integrate Iron Man into the original shot

The most important information is that you have to register to be there ! The organizer just tell me that … a few minute ago ! It’s … ridiculous.

The conference is in only 3 days and we don’t have enough registered people (of course … nobody knows they have to register). The main organizer tell me that we can propably cancel it if we don’t have more registered people. Damn it ! The full project is already done !

So … i was asking myself how to tell to the world that we will make this conference and … finally i thought about Blender Nation ! Even if the conference is in French … I think it could be cool to make a post about that. At least for the finished video …. :o) Let me know what is you’re feeling about that.

I know it’s a really quick request but I’m really nervous to know that the conference could be cancelled 2 days before it take place.

Be Sociable, Share!

    1. Thank you Kikko …. I just saw that the Organizer put the registering page offline ! I’m going crazy ! But if he do that, it’s probably because he have enough people to maintain the conference.

      Sorry for that … and thank you Bart for your help !

      The conference will be record and I’ll put it online soon. Even if it will be in French … I hope it will be interesting for everyone.

      Thanks again for all !

    2. Sweet!
      Actually that post helped to me find out about the event that I didn’t know was happening! So it will probably will inform others!See you on saturday!

    3. It seems like you need to send an e-mail to [email protected] if you wish to attend it.
      As for me, I’ll be there. Looking forward to seeing Coyhot for real, at last !

    4. Great video. I have not yet done matchmoving with Blender for my own, but I did few in the past with SynthEyes and the exporter for Blender. I am really impressed by the ability of Blender Tracking system to work with shaky video shots !
      Excellent work.

      •  Actually, it’s like this to demonstrate how camera-track works, integrating real footage with Blender elements. But it’s a bit too much, I agree…

      •  Makes it look crappy as an actual shot. But it’s basically like technical porn when you see how well it handles the shakiness.

        Enjoy it.

    5. /I/ want to go to Paris and learn how to track and mocap Iron Man.

      (can’t happen though, this time.  Minnesota VS. my budget.  I think a neat “bucket-list” would be to take a season or two and travel to random Blender meetings—travel+Blender-heads is a win-win)
      jus-sayin.
