Interview: Blender Institute’s Ton Roosendaal on open licensing and artistic success

Bart ·

Eric Steuer from Creative Commons interviews Ton about the Blender Institute's open projects and the reasons for their choice of CC licences.

As the producers of the world’s first open movie project, Ton Rosendaal and his team at the Blender Institute “work open” in every aspect of their production, from code to licensing to distribution. Blender, the free and open source 3D creation suite, supports makers of all stripes, from independent artists to small businesses.

A more in-depth profile of the Blender Institute will be released in the forthcoming book Made with Creative Commons.

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.
