  • Renderfarm.fi picked for the World Summit Award
    Renderfarm.fi - 2010-10-09 11:25:42

    Super news: Renderfarm.fi has won the Finnish representation for the World Summit Award in the category of "e-Entertainment & Games". We officially received the nomination at the Mindtrek digital media and business conference in Tampere, Finland on thursday the 7th of October 2010. Winning the Finnish nomination means that we will be entering to the UN supported WSA competition in 2011. Let's hope the WSA jury also appreciates our agenda of "democratizing" the realization of complex 3D imagery.

    Hello all, this is a serious post.

    After thinking about this for a long time, I have truly decided not to do 2.5 tours any more , partially due to blender only being in stabilization stages and I doubt anything new will be coming until 2.6.

    But what mostly contributed to this decision is my personal life, time is very rare these days and I want to truly get back to using blender for actual content, (hopefully to get a better life then I have now) not just tutorials.
    But also the reverse. I will be trying to cut back on my time at a computer to do other things, and live a bit more as I have become quite irritable and go off at little things.

    I will still be covering any new tech/features that appears and stay up to date with blender development. and i will do tuts if they are demanded of me. just email me any requests and I will try my best to get them done for you :)

    this decision is partially eased by the many sites out there making tutorials and videos of blender and covering things much better then I can. and that I request those who follow this to do your own experimentation to go discover these developments yourself, and add to whole that is Blender :) and feel the same goodness and fun that I feel

    Thank you all for following me, and all those visit these pages (~300-1000 views a day) and I wish you all the best for the foreseeable future.

    See you all around sometime :D
