  • 2012 – The Year of Awesome Users
    Blender Cookie - 2012-01-17 20:45:03

    user_survey_graphic

    Hello everyone!

    We are well into the swing of 2012 and it’s already looking to be an awesome year! So far we’ve had several new tutorials across the CG Cookie network, a data center migration setback and are nearing in on the shipping date for our new Animation Fundamentals Training DVD by Beorn Leonard! We are going to continue doing everything we can to make 2012 even better than last year! But, it goes without saying that the community is the reason this site exists and the reason this site keeps running. For that reason we would love to know your thoughts and feedback, as part of this community, going into this year!

    We have compiled a fairly hefty set of questions in the form below on everything from tutorial subjects to Citizen memberships to our ever-mysterious workshops. The survey is pretty long but every bit of feedback is great appreciated and helps to keep making Blender Cookie better and better. If you’re willing, take a moment to go through the survey and we’ll use your feedback to cater this site to your needs and wants as best we can.

  • Stop SOPA! Stop BREIN! Stop BUMA-STEMRA! Stop GEMA! Stop ACTA! Stop...
    Blender - 2012-01-17 19:36:00

    I'm fully supporting the protests today against the SOPA bill that might get accepted in the USA. With Blender Foundation being established in the Netherlands, I would like to emphasize that similar ideas have either already been established or are being lobbied here and in other European countries.

    If you know the abbreviations in the title; keep an eye at these organizations or bills, investigate it well and make up your mind. Your own country will have similar organizations claiming to stand up for rights of artists, but in fact serve the interests of copyright-trolls and wealthy corporations even more.

    What's the digital world you want to live in? I don't know all answers, but for sure it shouldn't be the big corporations defining it alone. A wonderful American document begins with "We the people... ". Let's make that true in the 21st century as well.
