Rumour: Sintel Release Time

Bart · September 30, 2010

I’m hearing rumours that the expected release time for Sintel is 1800 UTC (click here to see what time that is for you). Be warned though: everybody is still hard at work to make it happen, so it may be earlier, or later, or even tomorrow!

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 would reeeally like to know what the traffic rate is currently on Blender.org and blendernation.com.
I guess this should be maximum peaks for the last two years currently.
Bart can you provide these numbers, or are you not allowed?

Oh man, can’t wait to see the movie.

The “movies” folder on the FTP server where they also hosted the trailer is already there (created yesterday 21:44).
Unfortunately still empty yet ;)
