I created this puzzle, but it’s a famous motif that’s been used by many authors.

6 takeaways from the 2024 Blender Conference last week:
1. Ton’s goal is to 2-4x devfund donations. Blender currently has very low contributions compared to similar open-source projects. So join the devfund! fund.blender.org/
2. Ton only pays himself $10K p/mo (and that's a recent raise).
3. Blender is not against incorporating AI, provided it empowers artists and it makes sense for the task. youtube.com/watch?v=esZZGRAJ…
4. Blender team recognizes it’s “years behind” being able to implement cutting edge graphics research papers. youtube.com/watch?v=esZZGRAJ…
5. NPR (non-photorealistic rendering) is gaining traction in Blender. All the Suzanne film festival winners were stylized NPR. And the upcoming 4.3 introduces a completely rewritten grease pencil system + procedural oil painting. So it’ll probably gain even further adoption in coming years. youtube.com/watch?v=ljjUoup2…
6. Every 3 seconds someone downloads Blender (20 million p/yr). youtube.com/watch?v=kPeGlrP0…
