Meet the Blender Developers!

Bart · November 1, 2013

Lino Thomas (linolafett) took this picture at the Blender Conference this year. Of course it doesn’t include ALL the Blender developers, but you’ll see many familiar names here!

Thomas Dinges helped me identify everyone. From left to right:

Bastien Montagne
Jonathan Williamson
Stuart Broadfoot
Thomas Dinges
Brecht Van Lommel
Sergey Sharybin
Andrea Weikert
Thomas Beck
Dalai Felinto
Lukas Tönne
Monique Dewanchand
Jeroen Bakker
Keir Meirle
Ton Roosendaal

James Neale’s ‘fixed’ version gave me a good laugh, too:

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.

LOL How long have them been trapped in this room, away from any computer, before the picture was taken? They look so happy! ;)

Judging from the fact that they are mostly looking to past the camera on their right side, I would say there is a compuer standing there, perhaps compiling the 2.69 release. Only Bastien and Jonathan didn’t notice it, which is why they are looking to the other side.

Lots of hard work gone on lately with both developing Blender 2.69’s final release and running things with the Blender Conference. That must have taken a good deal of effort to do. Thanks, developers.
