A lot of you have been asking: what, exactly is going down at the 2011 Blender Conference?

Well. Let me tell you.

Secrets. Super Secrets. So Secretive I can’t actually tell you.

Here’s a picture of Ton showing all the best secrets.

Secrets

That should clear THAT up!

    mmmaaaannn !!! what is that ?! how do you expect anyone to CSI it now ! you could at least blur it :p

  2. I know that someone will make a algorithm soon that allows to reveal everything :P I’ve seen that CSI thing, they do it all the time and we know if something appears on TV, it must be absolutely real.

    zoom… enhance… zoom… enhance again… rotate 45 degrees… Stop! Right there! just what i thought. it’s black U__U

  4. Wehrdo says:

    Hmm… Either a touchscreen interface, or a fingerprint scanner into a sealed vault. I’d bet on the fingerprint scanner ;)

  5. The thing is… Look at the right hand… Not the finger pointing the paper/board hidden by a huge super computer effect.

    Well. In the right hand, the jedi lightsaber or something like that… Ton is ready to use it but the force told him to wait…

    I don’t know… Perhaps all this is CG work and Ton is simply in front of a coffee machine and he’s pushing a button for a coffee addict. I’m an addict too.

    >>what you see is all CG :-)

    De-blur is real of course (I saw the tech demo by Adobe). But you could always enhance a reflection from the bicycle bell below the white board. undistort it and blow it up.

    Looking at the bell’s surface it seems to be low spec, a bit matt like. So you should try the seat instead. You may need to get a nor map of the bottom that resides there and perform an unwrap to get the right island shapes.
