Blender Sighting: Blender used to solve Crime in Germany
Julius spotted a video by Der Spiegel, a big German news show, about Criminal Clans in germany. They used it to match 3d scanned suspects with persons on CCTV recordings by rigging them in Blender.
You can see the report is here, the Blender appearance is around 42:02 in the video.
Haha….
a little correction.
It wasnt Der Spiegel who used Blender they only reported about it.
>>Technisch Hochschule Mittweida<< is who actually uses Blender to solve crime.
Its interesting the crime they actually help to solve is the theft of the gold coin "Big maple leaf" from the Bode Museum in Berlin.

Julius in what way Blender helped the case?
they used blenders rigging and tracking to identify and convict a criminal…
the report doesnt specify anything about blender but you can see blender in action.
