Blender at SIGGRAPH 2009

Here’s another mini-report and some photographs by Ton. He writes:
This is just 5 minutes of the Blender booth in action, lots of attention, people having fun, and Bassam editing his last changes for the Tube trailer he likes to show!

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.

I’m very curious to know what people are asking at the blender’s stand… about blender itself? the features and future? how and when to use the software in a pipeline? (I’m really sorry for my bad english). By the way… Congrats and thanks for sharing photos!

Hate to say this, but the booth-design sucks. It’s not appealing at all.
Thank god Blender doesn’t need any flashy, shiny marketing attributes I guess.
