Blender is the premier open source package for modeling, shading, animation, rendering, compositing, editing and game creation. it is used by hobbyists, professionals, studios and institutions around the world for a large variety of applications ranging from architectural design, commercials, motion graphics, illustrative art up to full blown cinematic movie productions.

For students / (emerging) artists like us Blender is especially interesting because it gives them the full flexibility / power of the movie industry to realize our projects - without depending on student licenses and / or large wallets. In this workshop we explore all the things that blender can offer… and more.

yes, it’s indeed been a while since… any update on this site, so you might be curious what kept me busy for so long!

wellll, the crazy times started with a short trip to boston for siggraph 06. i had a lot of fun at the open source pavillion (which i also helped designing and constructing) with a few blender demos and support. shortly after that spent a month in argentina, helping out the totally courageous folks at the plumiferos project. in the meantime - while i was still being flooded with loads of emails in the aftermath of elephants dream and giving a few internet- and tv interviews about our movie - i applied, got accepted and eventually enrolled at the hochschule fuer gestaltung (university for visual arts) in karlsruhe, germany.

next weekend i will be travelling to bologna, italy to give a talk about elephants dream together with bassam at the future film festival. apart from quite a few uni projects i’m also planning to produce another short movie. busy busy busy… oh well… i’ll post another update as soon as i find my brain.
