DivX upgrades sponsorship
on September 17th, 2009, by TonA very nice surprise on our bank account yesterday: sponsor DivX Inc upgraded their sponsorship to PREMIUM! That’s a great gesture of commitment, thanks a bunch! Oh… and coincidentally, the Premium Sponsor amount equals to almost 300 DVDs, if we would have put it in our thermometer we’d have had 2000!

Thanks for DivX for this awesome move!

Wow, well, that’s a super nice gesture, should blender now support encoding renderer video intoDivX as well? idk, but hey, awesome anyways! 😀

That’s a nice chunk of change.

Wooo! Thanks DivX

Awesome 🙂
Keep up blender and durian 😀

Wow, I think that’s a really inspiring gesture from DivX. Way to go guys. Companies who support communities like this always get on my short-list for future purchases. In my mind, they’ve got their attitude right.

wow that’s nice, a lot of companies use Blender Open movie content to demo their various codecs etc. it would be nice gesture if they also chiped in to the pot.
Good on the Divx guys for doing this, this also has a plus side for me I could easliy burn this on a dvd and give it to friends and family to switch a lot of dvd machines play Divx disc and movies. ( I am assuming that Divx will be one of the many codecs that this movie will be released in.)
@Felix can’t you already do that when you switch to avi codec divx is one of the offered compression methods

Wait, 34 Euros x 300… means… OVER 9000! 🙂 Good job Blender Foundation and DivX!
September 18th, 2009 at 1:50 am
Yep!
DivX just went up a whole notch in my book, so time to upgrade my license 😉

So… Perhaps you guys can now bribe another critical thinker to redo the rendering engine in OpenCL? I mean, each of the 3 year old 8800GT’s you guys had from BBB run at a (theoretical) massive 500Gflops a piece! Pff, you wouldn’t even need a grid!

AvidThrows: in my opinion, porting the renderer to OpenCL in a few months (which is the time we have) and getting a significant speed gain and a stable engine, would not be possible even if we had 10 extra developers.

You can’t expect miracles, I suppose. I just have an agenda of a better blender to push… hehe. 😛
September 19th, 2009 at 3:32 am
well i guess we only need one more brecht and it may just be possible.
September 19th, 2009 at 7:39 am
Way to go Divx! Think I might be upgrading soon as well. Thanks from the BlenderHeads!
