My main take from the keynote is that Blender has a luxury that is refreshing in the 3d world (and not only): not being linked to profit allows them to have a specific, uncompromising, and happily controversial long-term vision.

all talks are appearing as they’re done, now!

By the way, the mega-custom-render-layer-overview that Blender Bob is demoing here is really great. I’d love to have that shipped natively in Blender.

P.S. what if this thread became “The big bcon22 thread”, for those of us that are watching things from far away? :slight_smile:

Wait a moment, i just realised these are premieres, not livestreams. So there are no livestreams this year then?

I’m not sure what the difference is, I’m watching Simon do his presentation on geonodes and it’s not labeled “live”, so I think you’re correct.

@scopelma I renamed the thread in accordance.
And you’re absolutely right, that’s where the freedom is : freedom from money, freedom from private interests.

You are watching uploaded videos at their premiere…

They are actually live now, not from the theatre though…

Only the daily podcast is actually live, the rest is uploaded immediately after it’s over.

It would be awesome if there was a wiki post anyone could edit, with links to the videos, organized by heading, with a table of contents… @Hadriscus , can I edit your initial post to be a wiki repository of presentation videos?

Please do !

I’m watching Julian’s presentation on the asset browser now… it’s full of good ideas… notably “asset shelves” → https://youtu.be/Ix6cezT3Cr0

I was wondering how far it was going to go :sweat_smile: The metaverse superseding the biodiversity collapse was a nice touch, heheh.

I’m gonna attempt doing that edge detection geoshader for myself. I want to see how versatile it is, and if I can bake it down.

Which presentation is that from? And where can I get the new node, is it in the latest alpha or a branch?

It’s in the “we can do that with geometry nodes” presentation. Hadriscus links right into the middle of it in his post above.

edit: it starts around 7:37.
