Weekend Contest: Improve the Blender Developers!
Celebrity Devs by Nex Pro
There’s quite a bit of fun developing around the big Blender developers picture from this year’s Blender Conference. Share your best edits in the comments and I’ll embed them in this post. The image with the most comment votes will be featured as the BlenderNation header on Monday! :)
James Neale’s interpretation. Party developers?

On reflection, this is quite illuminating.
Aside from the main competition you can try to identify who is who in the “celebrity devs” image.
You might need to team up with some international help. Some of the celebs have tenuous links to Blender, the concept of Blender or the word blender.
There are 15 starting from the left. One of them is a look-alike of a famous person. Let’s see if you guys can get them all ( and propose their link or links to Blender ).
Good luck. :)
Come on Blender folks, tell us who you think is in the celebs image.
Okay, here’s my guess:
– don’t know
– don’t know
– don’t know
– Brian Cox
– don’t know
– Jim Parsons / Sheldon Cooper (Big Bang Theory)
– Marissa Mayer / CEO of Yahoo
– don’t know
– don’t know
– don’t know
– Sintel
– Johnny Galecki / Leonard Hofstadter (Big Bang Theory)
– don’t know
– Steve Jobs
Hmmm, 6 out of 14 :-(
I’m shocked that you didn’t get 7 ! There are 15 in the image not 14 , think about that. :)
Ah! Vincent van Gogh and Scales :) Cool!
You are doing well. Can anyone else get a few more.
Nr. 3: Edwin Catmull, CGI pioneer and one of the inventors of Catmull-Clark algorithm
Nr. 5: Alan Rickman, actor… no idea where the blender connection might be here… :)
Awesome , you got Ed Catmull.
Alan Rickman. Well there is a slight resemblance between a young Alan and Brecht. Alan was in a great sci-fi movie “Galaxy Quest” at one point in it he says…
‘It’s “Scene-Stealing Hack,” thank you.’
Blender code probably has a scene-stealing hack in there somewhere. :)
Anyone got the connections with blender yet ?
After hours of work in gimp, here is my version:

Oh, yeah… I should probably give this a name.. I’ll call it “Transcendent Nodes”..
Nr. 2: Justin Bieber?!
Correct ! I’ll disclose the blender connection if no one else can guess it.
Hey all,
I didn’t see any votes here, so I went ahead and picked schurl’s submission as this week’s winner!
Indeed, Blender developement is unearthly magnificent
