Hi,

During the event I was forwarding all talks in the theater to my personal twitch account. I have split everything I recorded into highlights with links you can find below. I post these since BF has not yet put the full schedule up on youtube.

If anyone is interested I am forwarding the Theater stream to my personal twitch account - https://www.twitch.tv/mstuff

thanks for posting :slight_smile: Where these on the main Blender page? If not, why?

3

Can someone post a summary of what has told Ton on the opening keynote?

4

Let’s hope the quality of the stream isn’t as god awful as the last one… i mean ffs there is one that literally didn’t have any audio.

Sorry if I sound like a dick but,

come on what’s the point of recording it if it’s unwatchable.

5

Does anyone have a link to the recordings?

6

I started streaming on twitch from the third lecture in the Theater (Making of Saurora) - you can find everything after that in my twitchs’ past recordings - otherwise I am sure they are going to put it up on youtube later today/after the conference :slight_smile:

If you’d looked you would see there is a link to the live feeds and the conference schedule on the blender.org homepage

alpha / beta 2.8 out summer 2017

senior developers no longer on bug tracker… only when the bug is significant they will step in

Nimble Collective – Sponsoring 1 developer for half a year, for pipeline data & depsgraph

Tangent Animation – Sponsoring two developers for a year to work on viewport (they also have several inhouse developers for cycles and pipeline)

AMD – Sponsoring 2 developers for a year, one on opengl and one on opencl cycles

Blender Cloud – Full time 2-3 devs. 5-7 artists for project coordination, depsgraph and pipeline

Alpha Objects incorporated – Sponsoring two developers for one year, on the 2.8 workflow and the Blender 101 project

All up theres 10+ new full time 2.8 developers for the next year

Nodes project is temporarily on hold

10

10 full time developers, that has to be a record for the BF (and a good sign that Ton’s initiative of attracting sponsored development is paying off).

For one thing, three developers full-time on the viewport means a good chance that it will bring more than shinier graphics (such as the resolution of bottlenecks like editmode and the display of particle systems). A good thing too since viewport is arguably the single biggest weak-point in Blender as of 2.7x.

11

I think its great that they are trying to reduce the senior devs from bug reports… means that they can focus their energy on more important coding tasks

12

Thanks for the video and streaming links, guys. They’ve really done a great job with the stream and video quality this year compared to last.

I noticed that the recording of the keynote is not actually listed on the BF Youtube channel at the moment, so is there any way to see the other talks before they are officially published if I miss the stream? Looking forward to seeing more!

13

Gotta say
I’m enjoying it so far :slight_smile:

14

I keep getting “Error Loading Player” message in the Debaile live page. Does it use flash player ? And the videos aren’t uploaded to youtube neither.

15

I am streaming Day 2 on my personal twitch right now - www.twitch.tv/mstuff

The reason I do this is so people can get to watch the archived videos before they get to upload it to the Blender Foundation Youtube channel.

Cheers!

Damn that UV mapping tool looks sweet!

Can’t wait till he(or someone else) implements it in blender

17

I missed the addon workshop :frowning:
Hoped mStuff would have forwarded it but unfortunately there is nothing after the break. Does anybody know how long it usually takes untill uploaded videos are actually listed on BF profile?

18

My head still hurts from the addon workshop…
I… didn’t understand a single thing…

As for the other question

Give it a day after the conference ends

19

Well, I think they are pretty quick with uploads this year. But it looks like Youtube has latency in updating the BF video list. Like with the opening notes. Uploaded but not listed. Well we’ll see…

I was sitting next to him before his talk, and he Saïd there is a patch submitted for review.
the stuff you saw in the presentation was done in blender.
