Status Report, the First!

Show Notes

This episode is a bit more of an update (well… it’s the first one, so I suppose “announcement” makes more sense than update) on the personal projects I’m working on through at least the end of the year… a lot of writing going on in there. I also touch a bit on the new sleep schedule I’ve been testing out for a couple months now. And I ponder an overall structure for this podcast itself.

Oh… and thanks everyone on Facebook and Google+ who answered my question about email lists. I got a lot of insight out of that and I think I may have made a decision on that… maybe.

And of course, I covered some of the latest news related to things going on in the open source creative world… such as:

• A proposal to make Cycles the default renderer in Blender - I’m still on the fence on this idea. If there’s an effort to fill in some of the integration gaps (I’m looking at you painting and textured view), then I’d be a lot more comfortable with the idea.
• Axiom Beta makes an update - Particularly as it relates to getting Magic Lantern folks on board.
• ANIMAT - A widgetless rigging and animation add-on, coming soon to the Blender Market.

And that should about cover it. This podcast is great fun. Thanks everyone for the feedback. Feel free to give me more (here and elsewhere on the interwebbernets)!
