VFXRIO LIVE: Blender & Geometry Nodes: from Sprite Fright to Project Heist

Abstract: Blender's development process is geared towards the artists who use its tools. And among these artists a certain group plays a key role. In this presentation Dalai Felinto, blender development coordinator, elaborates on this symbiotic relationship between developers and artists in Blender, while presenting first-hand the creative process of developing Geometry Nodes side-by-side with Blender Studio's latest Open Movies.

Mini-bio: Dalai is a native of Rio de Janeiro, but moved to Amsterdam to work as Developer Coordinator for Blender, directly from the Dutch headquarters. He divides his time between his work as coordinator and as product manager for geometry nodes and the new hair system.
