So many things to ask and looks like nobody is asking any questions, like bro these guys are a library of knowledge, I want to go one day yto the conferences

[@fortissimoX]

I guess that this kind of conference has strict schedule with exact time for each presenter. Therefore, they only have enough time to show their presentation and that's it. But, also there are usually workshops at conferences where you can go into details with speakers.

Thank you for bringing the world of ancient Greece to us. The reality of what really happened there is so much better than fantasy. Real history

Wish I had this at the beginning of the year with my animated short, but thankfully there's little bits that I figured out, albeit over time 😅 great presentation, lots of great knowledge!

meanwhile I'm dragging a single render of a living room for like 2 months now

I'd like to know how artists in Blender manage to make such amazing projects without a true pass/take system. What do Blender artists do when they need to make a sub scene inside of a main scene? I guess you could get by with a cinematic project, but when doing client work it would be tough without a way to make variations of a scene inside one scene.

[@adampreisler5679]

You mean with addon renderset? :)

[@petneb]

För your next project, how about a film where we have "armies" of love and compassion. I think we need something like this.

[@Sparky3D]

not After Effects!!! Nooooooo.

Step-1 is to have a decent pc
