A journey into organized chaos

Art is a cloud of misty beauty

in top of a chaos maelström

Where is Blender used?

Who mantains Blender?

What can you do with blender?

What can you do with blender?

  • model a mesh, with vertices, edges and faces, basically

  • use mesh modifiers

  • model uv projections

  • compose materials and textures

What else can you do?

  • insert keyframes, NLA

    animate almost everything

  • curve editor, modifiers,

    drivers, constrains...

  • create rigs and armatures

  • refactorize everything:

    links and appends

more things?

  • frame the scene with a camera

  • lit the scene

  • render a preview, or a frame

  • render an animation

  • shape keys, particles, smoke/fire, hair, physics simulations...

a bit more...

  • render through render layers

  • use special passes and 32 bits wisely

  • compose with nodes

  • integrate CGI with camera tracked footage

  • edit and final cut with blender (+ ardour)

... whatever

  • videogames with 0 code

  • real time interactive installations: OSC/midi

  • dome and stereo projections, easy for oculus and similar

  • virtual characters or environments realtime

  • everything, thanks to the...

Python access to the Blender API

What about the future?

What about the future?

  • BGE future isn't certain but will remains

    as a prototyping feature

  • Blender itself is capable to play realtime interactives,

    let's do it...

  • Blend4Web provides a js/webgl workflow from Blender

  • AsyncI/O allows to extend Blender

    easier through the net

  • OpenGL 3.0, particle nodes, unified physics...

so

and thanks you all

thanks, blender

basterds!

in a bohemian way ;P
