> Our product line is around the Blender system (http://www.blender.org).
> Blender is an Open Source 3d content creation platform capable for creating
> computer rendered animation films and interactive media. Their main base is
> Blender foundation/institute here in Amsterdam. For the last two years the
> developers have been doing a great job on the next mayor release (Blender
> 2.5/2.6). All internals have been rewritten and this resulted in several
> interesting solutions.

> We have developed a content management system called Blender-aid to
> visualize production files. A short movie of 10 minutes contain over 1000
> files all linking them together. Normally a filesystem is used to manage
> this. but with our product the files can be maintained using a web-based
> view of the production. Nowadays it is used by 3 big productions and
> growing. see http://sidedish.atmind.nl for more information

> The Blender UI and 99% of the plugins are created in python 3.1. Therefore
> we have gained a lot of experience in Python 3.1. Blender-aid is developed
> to be run on python 2.5, 2.6, 3.0 and 3.1 using a single sourcebase. We have
> not chosen to use a framework like django, as the system runs on a
> star-based database model and (not a commonly used relational database)

> Since October 2009 the Blender Foundation is creating their third open
> source movie. An Hollywood style animation movie about a girl called Sintel
> and her pet dragon. It is a short movie of around 12 minutes. A lot of
> information can be found on http://durian.blender.org. In the past a game
> has been developed: http://www.yofrankie.org and other short animations
> http://www.bigbuckbunny.org/ and http://www.elephantsdream.org/
>
> I propose to make a presentation on one of above topics if it is
> interesting or a more general one about Blender open media and the use of
> python. Also it is interesting to invest in Blender coding, as there is
> commercial a need for good blender developers.
