(Hybrid) Jason van Gumster: Blender Guru – Washington DC ACM SIGGRAPH
DATE: Thursday, November 2, 2023
FROM: 7:00-9:00pm EDT
WHERE: V! Studios (directions below)/Online
The Washington DC Chapter of ACM SIGGRAPH is proud to present, Jason van Gumster, Blender Consulting Lead at Orange Turbine, Director of Marketing for Autotroph, and author of the book “Blender for Dummies”. Jason will be sharing the latest news and developments from the Blender conference, which he recently attended, as well as demonstrating features in Blender.
Blender is the free and open-source 3D creation suite. It supports the entirety of the 3D pipeline—modeling, rigging, animation, simulation, rendering, compositing, and motion tracking, even video editing and game creation. Advanced users employ Blender’s API for Python scripting to customize the application and write specialized tools; often these are included in Blender’s future releases. Blender is well suited to individuals and small studios who benefit from its unified pipeline and responsive development process.
The meeting will be hosted at V! Studios and on the Zoom platform. A link to the meeting will be provided prior to the presentation to all those who have responded to the announcement on our MeetUp page. The link will also be visible to those who RSVP. Those who do not RSVP to the MeetUp announcement will not receive the link to the meeting.
