#11 Gleb Alexandrov and Aidy Burrows - All I want for Christmas is Blender ! 2/2
This is a very special episode of CG Talks (the podcast where CG guys talk about Computer Graphics) as we have two guests : Gleb Alexandrov and Aidy Burrows who run a Blender tutorials platform creativeshrimp.com together. (It is the second part of a 2-part episode)
This time we let ourselves loose on being Blender nerds and talked about the Blender Conference 2022 experience in Amsterdam (where we got a chance to meet in person after the long pandemic break). Aidy, Gleb and DJ share their impressions of the event and how Blender’s awesome community is wonderfully growing.
What is color ? How to be an artist in the face of modern technology and A.I. ? Is it possible to reach Hollywood quality with a home PC ? What does music have in common with CGI ? Those are just a few of many questions that we touch in this friendly conversation.
We end the podcast with some heartfelt Christmas wishes from Gleb accompanied by a soothing guitar strum.
We wish you a Shrimpy Christmas and a Creative New Year !
Happy listening and happy rendering !
