Dutch rapper Blaxtar released his new album OZMO6:2 last wednesday. He had a great party at the beautiful Tuschinski movie theatre in Amsterdam. I am very proud to have contributed to the creation of his record cover together with Torben Raun.
OZMO6:2 released
Wednesday, April 7th, 2010First week at the Durian Open Movie project
Wednesday, March 24th, 2010
Hi all. Today I had my second full day at the Blender Institute with the Durian team. Find out more about the project here. I already wrote some scripts, found some bugs, been working on a big city scene, played soccer with the guys, and fed the ducks with Nathan. All in all a great start. The photo was taken by Colin Levy.

The crew from Project London (which I’m proud to have been a part of) have yesterday released a brand new, awesome teaser trailer! I’m actually in this one’s credits as well. Go have a look!

Starting this April 19th I’m giving an 8 week (once a week every Monday evening) course in Blender 3D at the SKVR in Rotterdam. I believe some spots are still available right now. Also I’m giving a 3.5hr workshop there on Saturday the 27th of March. You need to reserve a seat if you want to take part. Go here for more information about that.
I created a small model that we’ll use during the Saturday workshop.
Shapeways switches to a new rendering system
Thursday, March 11th, 2010
The 3D printing community Shapeways is switching to a brand new Blender 3D based rendering system for previews of their models. I’m glad to have assisted them in the design of the scene and materials. You can read more about it on Blendernation.
Joining the Durian team
Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010
After I moved to Amsterdam last weekend, Ton Roosendaal of the Blender Institute asked me to drop by for a chat. I’m thrilled to report he asked me to join the Durian team for the latter stages of the Blender open movie project. The news should hit the official website next week. I’ll be starting in 2 weeks after I finish a couple of my running projects. In the meantime I’ll already join the weeklies, and try to learn as much about Blender 2.5, and the state of the project as I can.
Tidal on television
Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010
A few prints from my short ‘Tidal‘ were on display at the Affordable Art Fair in Brussels last weekend. The Chiefs and Spirits Gallery (that has my work in their collection) was also featured as the backdrop of an interview with Will Ramsay, the organiser of the Fair. This means that the work was seen by at least a million Belgians. I went to the Fair myself and had a great time. You can see the interview here (Tidal can be seen at the left top at around 2min into the piece).
Tidal at the Kunst Salon
Thursday, January 28th, 2010
I just found out that my gallery is taking the ultra high-res prints of Tidal to the Kunst Salon (Art Salon) in eindhoven. The event will take place Januari 28th/31st. And of course next month the work will travel to Belgium for the Affordable Art Fair in Brussels as well. Stop by to have a look if you’re in the area!
Meta-Androcto’s Petunia
Thursday, December 17th, 2009
I just now saw Meta-androcto’s Petunia based material experiments. It’s nice to see how different a model it can be just with n alternate material. You can find the thread on Blenderartists.org.
Gallery Exhibit
Thursday, December 3rd, 2009
My work is exhibited at the Chiefs and Spirits gallery in the Hague. We made three very high resolution prints based on the short film Tidal, which was released earlier this year. The prints will also be shown at the Miljonair Fair in Amsterdam, the Affordable Art Fair in Brussels, and perhaps also the one in London. But you can always drop by the gallery to have a look!
