Blender Siggraph 2011 reel (Revised)

[@Taletad]

I came back here after all theses years... it is still so beautiful and inspirering !

[@jesse.vr6]

the sound went out because of youtube's copyright system. it detected the song in this video which was copyrighted, so it removed the song.

[@heberjulio6303]

Years later, becomes one of the most powerfull 3d programs

[@ramoberoi8285]

True

[@carry8631]

Everyone imagine Blender Siggraph 2012 reel! Imagine how awesome it will be!

[@ramoberoi8285]

Lol

[@TheVicRulz]

Nice video, but there is something wrong with the sound.

[@marshallwho]

Yes I also experienced that

[@BrianMoffatt]

KZbin thought the song was copyrighted, so it attempted to remove it. You can still hear bits of it.

[@SimplestJason]

I haven't used blender for years, but this reel reminded me of how fun and amazing it is to use it. I feel inspired to do a whole bunch of new projects :D Thanks blender!

[@zyzo99]

Ive been watching BLENDER from the very birth.. Now- what YOU achieved guys so far is GREAT !! Congratulations and keep developing !!!

[@guardian218]

I love it! I have been working on a short for a while but stopped due to life. Seeing this has me pumped up to get back to it. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@omerjacobus]

Ahhh.. so much better now.. thx for reuploading it again! :)

[@parabolicpawn]

The best blender reel to date.

[@ProxyDoug]

So true. I always come here to get inspired.

[@PerLarsObenhaupt]

One thing what is really great about blender it is not only a free open source software it is as well one of the things you’re always blown away from.

[@Ristridyn]

Never ever question the power of open software that was made with Pasion!! Thanks Blender Foundation!

[@BespokeGroupUK]

Thank you for keeping Blender free and helping people to dream and be creative

[@SuperMelon2008]

great Developers, great Artists.

[@WesMartin]

This is the best open source software. When I first got Blender, I had no clue what to do. It just stayed on my computer. The very first thing I modeled using a tutorial was a pretty crummy UFO. I now know how to do stuff I never dreamed of doing. Thanks Blender!

[@Aquardz]

Amazing video, Blender has really created something wonderfull for everyone who always dreamt to do this, but could never afford it. There are so many people with passion who has amazing talents, and I take my hat off to the Blender Foundation for giving these people a chance to show their colours.

[@-Rook-]

Beautiful, awesome and inspiring demo reel and much improved from the last post. Stunning work by all the artists involved. Blender is a magnificent and amazing application that places professional tools without exclusivity of cost into the hands of anyone with a love of computer graphics and creativity.

[@dgafdezmyn]

woooow props to the pros !!!

[@darkscorpionomega]

I know right I'm learning now. Just started going through the tutorials last night. And I plan on purchasing some of the DVDs to help support them. Amazing software can help alot of dreams come true. . .

[@paradad2303]

Blender is THE BEST animtion software i've ever worked with, partly cause it's free, and i seriously suggesting looking in to it. it's AWSOME!

[@Chimaerafish]

im listening to disturbed-down with the sickness with earphone when the video start. very cool feeling.specially when the first car scene.cool art. everything cool!! still cant believe its free. many thanks for blender foundation, they gave young artist who doesnt have budget to learn or show their god giving idea. thank you so much. im downloading 2.59..

[@MASproductionss]

It's nice to see you got a very talented blender artist (Mike Pan) to put this amazing video together. Blender sure is making a name for itself in the 3d community, with all of it's features.

[@benzen78]

I would thank all the developers that contributed to Blender since the late 90s. They did a unbelievable work.

[@ASlave2Gravity]

Blender is a savour it lets small time indie studios (like the one I work with) to create graphics on a low budget, it really makes a world of difference!

[@SuperGamer87]

I am so proud of Blender. It's been like watching a child grow up.

[@rjrpro]

I've always loved working in Blender, and this video summarizes why.

[@pol3waf]

beautifully put together ;) very nice music :)

[@vaisata]

It's just insane what people can do with Blender. And it's a free software! It's good to see that there are still people that create software (especially like Blender) for the experience and from love for what they do and not just for money.

[@SledgeNE]

Awesome and beautiful!

[@RaveriusMax]

Man, some excellent work from these guys, really gives me something to strive for :)

[@spec24]

Blender is a great piece of software, made even better by its new interface. Thank you Blender programmers!

[@senseofnickels]

This just got me really pumped up. So much talent in the world... Proud to be part of the greatest race ever: the human race.

[@Damia_C]

The power of Blender !

[@Kelavarus]

As someone who as a student has made use of many different 3D applications, including Blender, but in regards to your comment, having not spent thousands on the software, I really don't think the money has anything to do with it. I respect and admire what people do with Blender, and while I think Blender can be just as powerful as the other applications, in terms of pure simplicity and elegance of workflow I personally don't think Blender measures up.

[@5needinput]

This video is pure awesome - a proud showing of what Open Source is capable of! I've been a fan a Blender for a few years now and I think that when you consider the 2.5 project and Sintel, Blender has really made huge leaps forward recently.

[@ziuber18]

OMG some shots are just too good to be true. I'm greatly amazed

[@sinekonata]

When I see FOSS projects like this I just want to cry... I'm new to the whole open source community but I still can't believe this has eluded me for that long...

[@doiRosete]

nice edit...and all blender :D

[@Scottstimo]

Love the song!

[@lewisvz]

The best 3D software out there! I wounder why movie companies don't use it, it must be too good to be true.

[@heinrich0kuhn]

This is really good , Blender is on the front line of open source software and with good reason...

[@Killadey]

Had plender for a week now, and i only regret that i dint find it sooner, how can such an immense program be free? Its almost to good to be true. Hail blender!

[@HolzzzRulezzz]

Ich guck das jetzt zum dritten mal an. Ist echt Klasse was Ihr schon auf die Beine gestellt habt. (: Blender 4 eve from Germany :D

[@MicheleMontini]

The best blender reel. This is great!

[@waterdragonsage8460]

Sound keeps going out.

[@777olo777]

I'm an XSI user since 10 years or so and for month or so I'm learning Blender 3D not only because its free but for what it is. technically it can do everything i need and my only concern was the workflow. After doing some modelling and rendering i have to say that its nearly as good as XSI. ATM I'm missing only Bmesh and some better UV tools, but i know it will come soon. This transition to Blender was one of the best and most exciting moments in my career...

[@eplchuynh]

you guys are so talented. Keep up the awesome work!

[@bladewind0verlord]

wow! im realy new to 3D but i feel as though i have actualy found somthing i am meant to do, i am horrible right now but its things like this that allways make me want to keep trying. thank you!

[@corre491]

blender is a blessing for the 3d artist. Better every day. Let's pray it continues its progress and remains free software. I think it is in the same league of maya and 3d max, plus it haves some features that this programs don't have. And yes, it is not the software, its the artist that uses it. but it helps to has a deluxe program like blender.

[@PeithVergil]

Thank you Blender Foundation for giving us this awesome software... For free!

[@ravenvince2]

I use blender and its outstanding. I just started donating some money to them just so blender never stops.

[@fusor010]

never underestimate a good professional work, whetever tool he uses... there is lots of kids on cinema 4d, maya and zbrush doing absolutely 100% crap as well as good pro's doing a lot on blender and other open source tools...

[@salba4]

Great music taste and great software = awesome video

[@loopafox]

it shits me to tears when people say oh which version of some expensive brand software should i get, when if they just got something like this and put enough effort in, it really doesn't matter how much you spend on your software, what u can do with it is what matters.

[@mcdoritz]

Incroyable, c'est de toute beauté! La beauté de la liberté!

[@IvanDSM]

Blender is the best 3D modeling/animating/gamemaking software out there! I still don't know why major production companies don't use it.

[@unknownmystery99]

mann this is so beautifull it made me tear a bit

[@Kaelth0r]

one of the best free softwares on the planet!!

[@spec24]

@WolfosDotOrg Yes, the interface is a HUGE improvement! And a very nice one at that. Very slick.

[@rtg593]

O_O I pulled up this video while checking out blender, thinking about learning all this 3D stuff because I have an idea for a game I want to make... The depths of what I don't know have been revealed. :p

[@CGEyeGuy]

It never matters what software you use, but the artist who uses it.

[@EXHellfire]

Damn, and to think that I'll start studying Blender soon, can hardly wait now after watching such video

[@jonyefm]

This is one of that videos, to you can think, is all very nice!

[@kapurikonnn]

個人のパソコンでここまで綺麗なものを作れるのはすごいですね。

[@ChrisGaming44]

Who ever said Blender couldn't make awesome stuff!

[@SFARIZVI]

It takes skill, time passion and determination, tenfold.

[@KXILite]

No matter how many times you re upload it I will still promote it.

[@hijtohema]

@KXILite Including the VFX everything. This is the Blenderfoundation Showreel for Siggraph, remember?

[@marcolorenz77]

great emotional open 3d journey!

[@ArtistryMusication]

So that last part were all the cubes that were deleted in the online tutorials? :) (they looked mad)

[@IvanDSM]

@FMC19 Actually, there are studios using Blender. The Bridgestone ad you saw was done with a fork of blender, that had light texturing or something like that. And i'm pretty sure the FIAT and BMW videos are ads. Also, the Brazilian government used it once in a Petrobrás commercial. If i find it i'll send you. And 1:32 is an ad from Russia, i think.

[@prieresminion]

Hope it some day becomes THE industry standard. (When everyone sees the light)

[@TheJammyJono]

Some amazing stuff here!!! I wish I could be that good!!!

[@msufred2011]

blender is powering up!!!! favorite software ever.,

[@uratoko]

It's Blender 3D, google it and hit the first result. It's a completely free program for almost everything: model making, sculpting, texturing, animating, video and image editing and it even has a Game engine with Python language support and it's open source so you can even change the program (if you know C++). You can find tutorials mostly on youtube to learn Blender from the beggining. You can use skills from blender in other similar programs, and if you're good you can earn money too. :D

[@DeDean16]

mind = blown off by epic awesomeness

[@Suzyqutie1]

Totally agree......I sat there with my mouth hanging open! Awesome!!!!

[@IvanDSM]

@DeadEndProductions13 Well it is! Download it in blender dot org!

[@muhammadpk3851]

Legend born

[@Oscarfu05]

@RedofYellow i switched from C4D to Blender and realize that once you get used to the interface it's all about your creativity, the tool is not that important. However i love Blender and it's free.

[@Superman00221]

I do not know enough about graphic design nor am I interested in creating works such as these, but thank you everyone that participates in Blender with your artistic knowledge. Please don't stop designing graphically. Also, can you tell these studios who make Battlefield 4 and Call of Duty games what improvements can be made to their graphic engines? Or just make their style of video games with Blender with possibly a very low monetary cost to put them out of business or enhance their honesty? Thanks

[@catafest]

very good this software ; )

[@LoganRWeber]

Makes me feel jealous that I couldn't do anything that was shown. Because it is amazing!

[@kuckuck2]

Blender3d is rocking! I'm using it since 2001 (when it wasn't open source...)

[@lzymxn]

@Cobac before the ui was overhauled, blender was a mess of buttons and i loved it, i loved creating tons of windows with my groups of buttons, the hotkeys, the overall flexibility of the ui, it seemed scary but i got used to it, i have working knowledge of 3ds and while it may be industry standard with a simplified (at the time) UI, i can say that im glad i learned blender first, it forced me to learn things i most definitely would have overlooked while learning max

[@ABBiieSuXXx3]

This is exactly what I needed to see

[@drunkenoodle]

Whatever doubt I had in Blenders ability has just been completely erased. I'm here to stay!

[@Xedus661]

this and maya are incredible

[@lucasB823]

Anything 3DS or Maya can do, Blender can do too. And its expanding soooo fast too. just a few days ago they added camera tracking, cycles rendering, dynamic paint and an ocean renderer. Its an unbelievable program.

[@Quello_di_una_volta]

Nice demoreel. I wait bmesh before translate all my work from xsi to blender (I like and sincerely prefer XSI in any case, but it is too expensive for my poor bank count). Bmesh and cycles will make blender finally a modern and competitive application, IMHO, a must have for a single artist or little studio.

[@tiagotiagot]

1: Because the studio that originally created it decided to share their tool with the world. 2: Yes, pretty much; though i'm not sure it actually was responsible for 100% of the pixels in this video. 3: My guess is "probably"; but whether any given individual will help you depends, and what it depends on will vary from person to person.

[@vixrobinshood]

ive also watched the zbrush demo reel. i say weve done and on par job with them. tho they have major film backing. we have a close nit community, and lots of talented artists who have to have a major learning curve, and well, do a more than fenom job at it. just my opinion of course. i just love blender. *32 year old tattooed mohawked punk sheds a tear*

[@Soulflare3]

Man I really need to learn how to properly use blender... You can create anything from the simplest cartoon images to photorealistic video, and I have no idea what I'm doing... What these artists can do is amazing, and I cannot believe such a powerful program is FREE :O

[@jokegred]

@Exzmo But the free version is a) missing features that blender has b) Has no plugins allowed c)render sizes are constrained d) Illegal to sell made stuff. Correct me if I am wrong on any of these points

[@lpbayliss]

@Margalus89 I know exactly how you feel man. I'm doing a Game design course in the upcoming year and I know that we are going to be using blender. I've been trying to get some practice in before we start and some of the stuff I have seen that's been made with blender is marvelous... The great thing about that is, it shows that I can do so much better, and that makes me want to.

[@letsfail1]

Extrem Userunfreundliches Interface, tolles Programm, aber warum verwendet eine größere Firma bei einem Showreel so niedrige Soundqualität?

[@christian74656]

was denn für eine "größere firma"? ^^ die blender foundation hat soweit ich weiß 4-5 leute in amsterdam und nochmal ~10 entwickler weltweit, die aus der entfernung mitarbeiten. Oh und das mit dem Interface legt sich nach ein paar Wochen ernsthafter beschäftigung ;) für mich ists mittlerweile das bei weitem beste Bedienkonzept das ich je in einer Software gefunden habe (sobald man mal die lästige RMB-selection auf LMB umstellt)

[@Eugenix2]

Many big steps from first release :-) ..I'm an old user (low user). Great!

[@pizzapouskuzei]

This is how you can craft top quality 3d models and animations with a non-commercial software.

[@Grissess1991]

0:57 - 1:05 ...was...was that...Blender? That took my breath away...

[@MrsAntilope]

I loved it ...it's wonderful !!!
