So through years and years of using many types of 3D software, I’ve developed a great simplified workflow that allows me to create scenes and renders quickly and effortlessly that I can use in both my clients’ and my personal artworks. Thing is, 3D is actually quite straightforward and even easy once you crack the code and understand it. I needed a way to work fast, creatively, and also have fun while doing it. I needed to get quick perspective, lighting setup, scene layouts, and renders so I could work on my artworks for clients. I know, I know… this is what I felt in the beginning too.Īnd being an artist without much experience with 3D, I wanted to get to the “art part” of it all. This helped us to keep the core of Blender contributors together to work on 2.8.Īnd last but not least: special thanks to the community – the developers, documenters, bug reporters and reviewers – it is thanks to them that we can start this wonderful new era of Blender 2.“But 3D seems so complicated… I just want to create nice art!” Thanks goes to everyone who contributed to the Code Quest, the massively successful 3 month workshop in Blender Institute during spring 2018.Īnd we thank everyone who joined the Development Fund in 2nd half of 20. This enabled us to work on the viewport, Eevee, collections/layers, UI and tools redesign.

Special thanks goes to Tangent Animation and Aleph Objects, who funded 4 additional developers to work full-time on Blender 2.8 during the crucial 2017 period. The people who work for the Foundation and Institute did a tremendous job to bring Blender is where is it nowadays. The Blender developer community is being supported by the organizational powers of Blender Foundation and its spin-off Blender Institute.
