Durian: a week at the Blender Institute

Bart · July 5, 2010

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.

Really nice video, really creative

I liked it :)

I think it is interesting to see a detailed look at what is going on at Durian

Keep up the good work :D

P.S.
First comment!

Nice timelapse movie!

PS. OT- I’ve seen this (and most Durian posts) like 3 days earlier on the blog. It might be nice to have some posts earlier. I remember you got a book on discount but when you published about it the discount period was over, would have been nice to post earlier so people have a heads up, thats even better I think. Same with some meeting announcements that could have been posted a bit earlier to give people a heads up on time critical information.

Thanks for keeping us posted Bart!

@Logan: yeah, I know. Unfortunately, running BN is still mostly a one-man show so it’s hard to keep up sometimes. I’ll need to hire myself a full-time editor! :)

I was at the Blender institute 2 years ago …and I have really enjoyed it.
I would recommend it to anyone out there who is really willing to be emerge
into this unparallele training environment.
Blender 2.5 crashes at every corner can you please get it stable
so that I can finally put my teeth into it…
