Happy 2009!!

Bart · January 1, 2009

From the entire team: the best wishes for 2009! What are your hopes for Blender this year?
Leonarda Sala (see also his ‘Mikrobitus‘) sent in a nice New Years e-card. Enjoy!

Hi, I’ve just finished a short greetings e-card to promote my services, as usual totally made in Blender 2.48. It features very simple but funny characters rendered in a 2.5D style. I hope you’ll enjoy.
Happy new year to Blendernation and the huge Blender community!

Author Bart

I have a LONG history with Blender - I wrote some of the earliest Blender tutorials, worked for Not a Number and helped run the crowdfunding campaign that open sourced Blender (the first one on the internet!). I founded BlenderNation in 2006 and have been editing it every single day since then ;-) I also run the Blender Artists forum and I'm Community Lead at n8n.

Just wanting to wish you all a Happy New Year and hoping the best for you, Blender, and the whole Blender community! Without you, Blender would not be open source and have such vibrant development, flourishing art, and useful support!

Cool, fun voices and good acting, as well as some nice visuals! Bravo, Leonarda Sala! Thanks for the good e-card!

Happy New Year to the whole Blender community! May your dreams and resolutions come true, and may you find what you are really looking for in life.

God bless,
-b

It is *truly* lovely to see so many people posting from so many parts of the world. It’s something of a sign of hope for humanity that, when it comes even to something so ‘trivial’ as open source software (such as Blender) at least, there aren’t any ‘differences’ (politics, religion, etc) between us. That we can cooperate across social, economic, and language barriers to contribute to something that is so much more than the sum of its parts is a Very Good Thing.

Happy New Year from Michigan!
