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.

Garn! I wish that I had something equally praiseworthy to say, but the link doesn’t work. The website is apparently “undergoing maintenance.”

Holy cheese!!

I thought I saw three animations that I saw on the Science Channel’s Echo Tech programs.

Namely, the molecule one, the DNA, and the hydrogen pellet.

Did you make those??

Or did you replicate them as a learning experience?

Either way, awesome reel!

Oh, and this was ALL done in Blender?!

LaughingCheese: yes I made those for Discovery Channel’s Eco-Tech and no, it’s not *all* made in Blender

WOW! This is very nice work. You could easily take any number of the demos and turn them into something longer. Very impressive. Congratulations on such a successful reel. I dare ask: how much time to render all of this?
