This presentation explores how Blender is being used within the digitalization strategy of Territorio Mudéjar—a network of rural municipalities in Spain—to integrate 3D photogrammetric models of Mudejar heritage into open, interoperable systems for edu…
Hearing sound is fun, but being able to see it is even cooler ! From technical challenges to UI accessibility, follow a 3 year journey on how geonodes and python made it possible to create a 3D spectrogram in Blender.

This talk explores how engineers can create domain-specific tools in Blender using the low-code development add-on Serpens and powerful Python libraries such as OpenSeesPy. The presentation highlights StructureWorks, a structural analysis add-on that b…
A walkthrough of how Blender was used as a core part of the VFX pipeline on Sonic The Hedgehog 3. I’ll cover how we integrated Blender into Paramount’s in-house pipeline, from previs through postviz to final shots.

Rendering relies heavily on approximations of physical reality, which can sometimes fail to capture complex optical effects. This is one reason why 3D renders don’t always appear true to life. Yaraslau will explore phenomena such as birefringence, grad…
In this presentation, Lars Beier, Vitus Pacholleck, and Julius Schöps share how they use Blender as the cornerstone of a 3D pipeline for robotics onboarding, simulation, and animation. They demonstrate how Blender supports automation across multiple wo…
Graphic novelist Dirk I. Tiede shares how he single-handedly adapted his comic series Paradigm Shift into an animated short film. He demonstrates the challenges of creating character rigs (including a fully transformable werewolf rig!), using comics as…
Join Jules Urbach as he presents his vision for the future of GPU- and AI-driven rendering and how it will impact gaming, visual effects, media, design, and art into the 2030s and beyond.
