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 Head of Community at Sketchfab.

What's surprising is how non-impressed I am by the physics-based-lighting stuff. Cycles has spoiled me. OpenSubDiv is cool, though.
Overall, I weren't impressed either, sure that it was high-res was nice, but then again with a NVIDIA K6000 it's not a problem.
Sure wish they'd add OpenSubDiv in Blender, now that they've changed the licenses as well so anyone can use it.
That's great, but I can't afford this Nvidia K6000...
On a side part, did you notice the pose library with Sully faces ?
That's very handy, quite the same than this one :

I hope Gooseberry will bring those kind of tools...
Dang, that's impressive!
Open sub-div, hmmm.
i wounder what linux distrib they used in presentation.
Mac OSX 10.7.x
Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Yeah, OpenSubDiv needs to come into Blender, being as Gooseberry is a development project, that may very well come to be.
