BLENDERHEADS - Ep. 01

[@mr.j7899]

The community is the main reason Blender shines. It's where people do things because they're passionate, not just mainly for the money.

[@nGons]

I can never imagine Blender without Ton. Wishing you a long lasting life Ton 🙏

[@stillpointx2623]

It's like Linux without Linus.

[@Blender-3D-Guides]

Ditto

[@Denatnael599]

This man is the reason why blender is what it is

[@Meteotrance]

This man is a real gift to mankind. Thanks for given us Blender Mister Ton Roosendaal.

[@JohnnyBlackWinter]

In Ton we trust

[@JohnnyBlackWinter]

"Because you guys care!" A lovely understatement, but an understatement none the less. I love every one of you fine, friendly people

[@chucknorrisffs]

With all industrial standard software just charging through the teeth, Blender is truly a diamond in the rough keeping things manageable financially for all aspiring and professional artists to create what they love in one package. Ton keep doing what you do, in these days with all the corporate greed from industry standard software-companies Blender truly makes me feel like it's all going to be alright. It's weird that I've never felt this kind of affinity towards a software and it's creator before. You've achieved something incredible, thank you truly..

[@mysticmarks]

Always nice to see Ton's face. Blender is changing the future day by day. Keep it up.

[@yohanpradipta6330]

u guys are the reason im still alive here, finally got a point for me to keep going on life, can't thankyou enough for everything u guys do.

[@ikani1]

This is a good reminder that you never know how your work might touch someone else. Keep making art, and we're glad you're still with us.

[@eyloa6386]

same!

[@BrendonKPadjasek]

I can't even put into words how much using Blender has increased my overall quality of life. Thank you for everything you all do!

[@Chris-el8is]

A big thank you Mr. Roosendaal for making Blender that was my first real 3d software i use. Becouse of Blender it open my career. You all doing a grat hard work thank you sooo much. Grüsse aus der Schweiz

[@GORILLAmation]

It's all about PASSION!

[@dailycgi]

Always a joy to hear from Ton. What a legend.

[@abhaykumarsharma]

This is why I love blender community, It feels like a family. Keep making these episodes I really enjoyed it. Wishing good health 💖 to Ton and everybody else.

[@kenkioqqo]

While he does not have billions of dollars like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Steve Jobs, Ton is truly a world class visionary. A living legend. A person to emulate and be inspired by. He is just as outstanding as those other legendary tech leaders the we all respect. I'm always fired up to listen to him speak about his worldview. And the Blender team is made up of positive-energy people.

[@Demigirlboss]

Comparing Ton Roosendaal to any of those cucks is legitimately an insult to him and his contributions to the arts. Elon Musk is an incompetent manchild whose entire wealth comes from blood emeralds, and whose employees admit to having to work around him rather than under or with him. Jeff Bezos used union-busting, monopolistic business practices, and abuse of employees so inhumane that it's honestly difficult to even think about. Steve Jobs was a backstabbing narcissist who created several generations of dickheads with more money than sense buying inferior products for a stupid fruit logo. Ton Roosendaal inspired and enabled millions, maybe billions of people to take up multiple art forms that they might never have considered, let alone tried. He is directly reponsible for such a _vast_ amount of all the art that currently exists that it's legitimately hard to imagine what the online creator community would look like if he hadn't done what he's done. He's a true legend who never cared about money like the other names you mentioned, and as a direct result of that he has changed the world more than any two-bit hack using other people's labour to fuel his own narcissism could ever hope to come close to.

[@macgruber4689]

love that format, transparency is lowkey one of blender's best features. Couldn't name 1 person of any other software nore where they are at. 💙

[@philippwelsing9108]

I love Blender even more now, after watching this. Thank you to all the beautiful humans that make Blender possible!

[@DECODEDVFX]

Great video guys. Brought back a lot of memories from the conference.

[@helgeheggset3335]

I hope all these Blenderheads understand the amount of positivity they bring to so many people around the world. It's wonderful to get a glimpse into the inner circle. I feel that the sheer humanity within the community is emminent when I see this (and other behind the scene I've seen). Thank you for your efforts, and I wish you all the best for 2023 and years to come!

[@AdelHaiba78]

Ton I wish you ever lasting health, and long life, we really can't imagine Blender without you.

[@gresnake.]

Ton Roosendaal is the Hero, Father, and Legend of Blender, Long Life to Mister Ton

[@AcercateaRD]

What would the world be without artists? And what would the world be without Blender? Thanks Ton for such a great software, and thanks to that great team that works to make it better every day. 🤩

[@titanium38000]

There is a true energy in this amazing open source project (my favorite one !). I discovered it something like 24 or 25 years ago, and every release is just happiness ! Ton you have a true vision and true passion about people, community, sharing and software. You all are amazing ! Thx !

[@lou7139]

Thank you for Blender! I use it for many things for making objects for 3d printing, interior room designs, making models for papercraft, and practicing 3d animation. I hope to get better at sculpting and compositing to make better models and renders. Blender is the best software in the world in my opinion!

[@achuthh5286]

The cinematography in this video is excellent. The videographer is an absolute champ

[@alanpereira1539]

This video is very cozy and that is exactly what I feel when using Blender.

[@oodoodoopoopoo]

I PLAY with Blender as a hobby, but even when I utilize it to accomplish work, it's never really WORK. Thank you all so much for not just creating a vast landscape of fabulous tools, but for also encouraging everyone to fill that landscape with creation, sharing, and most important, humanity.

[@1DInciner]

the best workflow is a gameplay

[@antoniopezzella2174]

maybe for your workflow, In my case, I do design cars for the industry and it works better than any "pro" software. I also produce game assets for some AAA games with it and whenever there is an obstacle, you have an addon to solve it.

[@guksack]

Love seeing the people behind the product I use daily, and see that it's a nice relaxed family-like setup. Hope you all enjoy making Blender as much as I enjoy using it.

[@mehdiboudouda9593]

Blender forever ❤️

[@alex.artechtattoo]

God bless Ton! He gave us such a great gift! He gave us Blender Community!

[@World_Theory]

Really cool look at some of the people behind Blender. Wish them all lots of hugs.

[@winfriedweis]

I mean, how awesome is that? Keep it going forever. I could watch it for hours. Thank you for the community you have created.

[@wlz3780]

you guys are THE COOLEST TEAM EVER! Blender team, To infinity and beyond!

[@JosueMartinez-ww1vj]

A Ton of love for Ton!

[@digitalboost6666]

Is that what the blender studio looks like? Awesome!

[@fcojavier142]

Stating that the Blender project is deserving of praise, it still has a long way to go. It should not be forgotten that when Blender started, companies such as Alias and Autodesk were investing substantial amounts of money to perfect their software, while a "crazy" developer, along with a community of developers, began their journey by taking on the industry's major players. Time has since put everyone in their respective places, and no amount of money can create software made with the care, excitement, and passion that Blender has. I am confident that Blender, with its community of developers, will be the model to follow. As a Maya user for 30 years, I can attest to Blender's impressive progress and potential.

[@HunterL850]

The fact that Ton also has dachshund make me like him and blender even more. I was thinking about getting a play pen for my dachshunds when I work from home and seeing his so happy in it just solidified it. This looks like an awesome behind the scenes series guys! Can't wait to see more!

[@DerekElliott]

BCON made me so happy

[@diostudio7198]

These people these rooms and places feels like home for me I wish one day I could be there, thanks for your hard working guys. good job

[@superff9]

I hope blender continues to evolve as a legacy after all of them are long gone their work remains with the community day by day evolving

[@noel_curray]

The man that cares about art. Thanks Ton.

[@brunodoesit]

I love the transparency of this organization

[@Blender.Quebec]

Really love it ! Hope we see more faces in the upcomming episodes :-) Thx to everyone involve.

[@man_art_man]

Very interesting! Thanks for this little Blender-Family Film. I really happy to be a part of Blender Community! Love Blender! After 3 Years in Blender still have to leran a lot ! Holland is the best land I have seen so far.

[@EROSNERdesign]

Creative people making creative stuff so other creative people can make new creative stuff. So great!

[@Oldman_Gamer2]

Ton you are the most inspiring man in the world to me! Thank you immensely for what you have done for the world. You have made it a better place, where people can create freely. There is nothing more divine than to create. Lately I have lost almost all hope in humanity. You are a flickering flame that keeps my hope alive. God bless you!

[@unicornhuntercg]

Thank you Ton and everyone behind blender. Thanks for this amazing piece of software and the community that it bought forth.

[@zachhoy]

Thank you for sharing the behind-the-scenes, really cool to see the leadup to the best conference I ever attended, and to relive it once again. You put together an outstanding event, can't wait for BCON23.

[@rossimitosis]

14:14 Amazing shot. From tarot, 14 is the Temperance; "balance, moderation, patience, purpose" Amazing shot.

[@zakkysr9666]

I am proud as a blender user, I hope Blender can beat its competitors.

[@reezlaw]

I love the format! can't wait for more. I'm visiting Amsterdam in a few weeks and I'll definitely go take a look at the Institute from the outside

[@reezlaw]

@Sybren A. Stüveldo you offer tours?

[@reezlaw]

@Sybren A. Stüvel that would be so amazing

[@reezlaw]

@Sybren A. Stüvel thank you for being so welcoming, we came and we were shown around by Ton himself, and we even met you! Despite the snowstorm this was an incredible day!

[@obscurascope]

It's great to see behind the scenes. Great first episode!

[@sayris01]

thank you for this video :) lovely people, great community :)

[@michaelmurray2595]

Nice video... looking forward to Ep. 2

[@silvestreandre]

YOU GUYS ARE FANTASTIC! CONGRATULATIONS!

[@mickehog76]

I love Blender. Not because it's free. But because how amazing the software is. There might be other 3D-software that are better on specific things. But for me Blender does everything I need in the way I like it. And also love the community. It's like driving a car. Just because the car is expensive, doesn't mean you will love driving it. You will eventually find a car that feels like a part of you, even if you got the car for free.

[@edgymushroom]

I really love this insight into the goings on in Blender Studio. Please keep doing these!

[@matiaslanzi9969]

I remember way back then 25 years ago when I started my Blender journey, it has come such a long way. Ton, it's incredible what you have done. Thank you!

[@GaryParris]

love this. great team, great leadership , right values and a wonderful community, so very special!

[@macha-leaf]

Its awesome keeping a record of this development team in an episodic mini-doc form - this is awesome

[@amasun13]

Thank blender and the men behind it, the tool is my most important software in my career.

[@SpoonerStudios]

Great video, thanks for sharing.

[@sergioarimex6991]

Gracias, gracias, gracias, gracias de verdad!! Son geniales, trabajan con pasión, orgullo y saben que Blender es lo mejor!! Saludos de Bella Vista, Buenos Aires!!

[@darcy4143]

What an incredible boss with an incredible team.

[@chakraace9823]

I still find it hard to believe that Blender is free and accessible to all. There's almost nothing Blender can do. Its versatile addon feature creates a way for others to make money as well as help others by making addons that would push the limits and ease the work. Thank you Ton for making this wonderful software free and accessible to all and making everyone's passion towards 3d modeling to come true.

[@MattBixler]

The tools built into Grease Pencil completely shifted the course of my career. I'm not exaggerating when I say the power of this software and the willingness to provide it for free changed my life. Thanks to everyone on the team for everything they do.

[@geffeniz]

This software changed my life... you are a blessing to humanity

[@muhammadaamir8992]

Great man, I met him in 2017. Still remember every word from him.

[@clarajosephine3295]

Very intersecting seeing behind the scenes. This makes the whole blender experience so much cooler

[@jerrybot3000]

Thank you all for this amazing and beautiful software that has empowered so many people around the world.

[@abodabalo]

Awesome project, great community, wonderful Ton & team!

[@LeslieSolorzanov]

Can't wait for episode 2 :)

[@Bone-studio]

Congratulations! I liked it a lot,eagerly waiting for the next chapter. A small note, check the volume on some parts regarding the voice and the music, not sure if it was because of my tv but I had to play up and down the volume several times :)

[@angelv6801]

Muchas gracias por existir, los amo a todos. Thanks for everything

[@MichaelHickman3D]

I would love to see more of this, things like this always make me happy!

[@teaa12t47]

Nice to meet you Ton and Blender teams! Remember. You guys have changed our world including my life. Thank you for creating Blender. It worths than just a program.

[@ghislaingirardot]

That was awesome! We want more :D

[@gooorylin]

Thank You Sir Toon - Great Respect to you and: for what you have done - towards Blender and world wide community - all over the world.Because of you - all people can do 3D modeling and make 3D models - for free and they can develop their passion.3D artists and people,who can't afford expensive shreware software.

[@hamstarr100]

[@avurado]

amazing people, amazing software... proud the world stil has some good to offer. Ton Roosendaal is a beast

[@ryanwriter]

[@chemp113]

Big Thanx Ton and Team!

[@eclipsehunter303]

[@luca__3044]

Such a nice working environment.. lovely to see a bit behind the scenes! Stoked to see what will come for blender over the next couple of years :D! much love to the team!

[@الرياني-د8ك]

So nice to see the people that are behind this masterpiece of a software, hope to see more of this. Also it would be nice to add subtitles. Thank you

[@peterslegers6121]

English subtitles are available, you can auto-translate them into other languages. (Click CC, then click the cog and select auto-translate.)

[@reezlaw]

@@peterslegers6121 they're a little bit all over the place, I turned them off

[@nanotechgamedev]

It is always nice to see Ton again, Blender has come so far by now, not just the software, looking forward to the next years!

[@inhere3353]

Thank you for the opportunity to explore creating with Blender...I discovered Blender I think 🤔 in 2004, it's a hobby I enjoy. I have, over the years, did my best to support Blender by participating in buying books 📚 open movies 🎬 🎞 🎥 Elephant dreams was the 1st time I donated....I also have a Blender Cloud account when my budget allows me to. I just want to say thank you Ton and all involved with Blender...without you, I would have never had this opportunity to enjoy using such priceless software. Thank you

[@leonardodorea3890]

what you guys have built is trully beautiful, wishing all the best to all of you

[@MegaZekee]

Blender community is family !

[@aledmb]

[@chadyonfire7878]

[@Brocollipy]

Love that guy ❤

[@cymarin3d511]

So good to see the behind the scenes life.. 🙂

[@zakuma22]

What Blender has accomplished to this date puts other software to shame.

[@PlanetAlexanderProjects]

Love the tree topper! Got me thinking about how my 3D printer's name is Suzanne, and has a printed monkey head attached.

[@cristianfachin5511]

Very beautiful video!! I love Tom's philosophy. I love Blender. As we say in Argentina. Aguante Blender!!!

[@goor_man]

Thank you for all what you did and doing to this day. I never thought that one day I would work with Blender and moreover I've never ever imagined that I would fell in love with 3D graphics. Big respect for you guys 💪Keep going

[@JoniMercado]

I loved the vlog mood. so blender. Thanks.

[@Xorked]

Really interesting series, can't wait to see more
