How to Create Awesome Lighting in Blender by Expressing Yourself (Blender Conference 2015 Talk)

8

Have you ever felt that your life is about to go SpinDaFloor?

Picture this. My talk for Blender Conference 2015 was approved, I got an email by Ton Roosendaal.

I’m looking at the monitor. Goodbye, comfort zone.

I have been writing a book about lighting since the last year.

And now I’m watching how the plane is landing in Schiphol and going to talk at #bcon15 about lighting.

CREATE LIGHTING IN BLENDER BY EXPRESSING YOURSELF

Discover how to create a really stunning lighting in Blender by expressing your personality.

• What’s wrong with being a tech geek

• Why we need to embrace our intuition

• Why digital lighting is much more than shaders and techniques

HIGHLIGHTS OF BLENDER CONFERENCE 2015

Before #bcon15, I’ve never been so far away from my comfort zone. And I’ve never been so happy and satisfied!

Indeed as Neale Donald Walsch noted “Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.”

Marius Iatan, Francesco Siddi, Jonathan Williamson and Gleb Alexandrov – happy nerds

For me, Blender is about people. Thus drinking beer, networking and speaking to amazing creative people is the way to go.

As Jonathan Williamson pointed out, the community really is just a bunch of happy nerd friends that’re doing cool things.

        A few days before the conference I lost the voice due to cold, so I was super careful to put everything into slides. Fortunately, the cords recovered and everything went reasonably good.

        I fell lucky too, Dale. The conference was 259% better than I could possibly imagine! Total devirtualization of everybody 🙂

        Sure thing! It was a single best thing that happened to me this year. Paul, I’m sure we’ll see you next year and maybe even earlier (and discuss a new bunch of crazy ideas).
