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

Abstract: The Blender 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's development coordinator, elaborates on this symbiotic relationship between developers and artists in Blender, while presenting firsthand the creative development process of Geometry Nodes alongside the latest Open Movies from Blender Studio.

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