New team member: Pablo Vazquez
on March 8th, 2010, by Ton
Freshly arrived in the Netherlands: Pablo “venomGFX” Vazquez will be added to the team responsible for shading / lighting / render & compositing. Great to have this ex-Apricoter over again!
Also queued up: Dolf “macouno” Veenvliet will start here in 2 weeks, to help the render team as well. And, last but not least, William Reynish – ex BBB – will be helping animating here the last three months! Starts in April…
This week we also have David Revoy over to help (paint overs!), he’ll be here for a week each month now.
That puts this project on over double the full-time artists as previously! We need it though, ambitions are high… and if we want a film by the end of june we better hurry!
Oh eh, where are the renders? Damn Soenke and Ben are hiding it somewhere… 😉
Laters,

Great news Ton!
Welcome on board Pablo, Dolf and William. This becomes a large group. It’s really good, you made up the story and style already, so that the “new guys” have a style sheet and a clear story to follow.
Wish you a lot of wisdom Ton, to handle such a big group of “creative monkeys” 🙂
Be aware of the Nathusthanian monkey! I heard this monkey can really get very dangerous and scary 😉
Have fun and rock the world

2010: The year of Durian
March 9th, 2010 at 3:59 am
@ Ethan: I may be a bit blunt, but you are not only hijacking a thread, you are also making a rather silly request. The reason three hundred blender users participated in the sprint is cause are really enjoying the progress Durian is making and know it’ll be a high quality movie, as well as widely distributed…unlike your project. Good luck on your movie! …and good luck trying to find people who will do your work for free.
Aside from that little speech – I think it’s awesome Pablo is joining! Have fun, and leave the eyes at normal sizes!

woooooooow *wide eyes, wide open
Thanks everyone! I’m *so* happy for such a warm welcome! 😀
As warm as the one I had here, yesterday I had a great first day, it feels very different from Yo Frankie!, but nicely different! 🙂
First impression: the project is *HUGE!*, I wouldn’t be able to compare with previous Open Projects, the amount and complexity of the work here is really what 2.5 needs to have it polished.
Nothing else to say than: “Expect Awesomeness” :3

Ah Ahh! Pablo, nice to hear that from you (not that we doubt it… ;))!!!!!
A very very welcome to you Pablo, to Dolf, to William, and a very very welcome back to David!!! It’s really great to know you’ll be at the Blender institute for an entire week per month… go paint-over!!!
And last but not least, I’d want to HUGELY THANK YOU BRECHT! for your extraordinary work, latest Indirect lighting and micropoly-displacement made my day:

Pablo in gramsterdam. Woot! :] I love blender and all that is open source. Best of luck to everyone taking part in this project.

Hope you will do well
You deserve all the best !
Especially due to your skills and artworks
Now it’s getting serious at the Blender institute !
Amsterdam is such a nice place to be too.
Rendering is such a difficult thing, taking a lifetime to master
Understanding light, interactions with the environment and so on…
Light is your tool, and nothing is more elusive than photons
Eh, I really hope to hear about you very soon 🙂
Saludo amigo !
