Main Theater at the Blender Conference

The 8th Annual Blender Conference will be held this October 23-25 in Amsterdam and Wray Bowling is going to be there to present and represent western North Carolina. Blender is a free open source 3D content creation suite which is available for all operating systems. That's pretty cool, so check out their site for more interesting stuff, including the schedule for the conference.

Wray's talk will be a review of his techniques for digital puppetry using Blender and Open Sound Control. The presentation will run for thirty minutes and in three parts: A short performance, a short lecture on the inner workings, and his projection for the future of Blender & Hardware input devices.
 

Talks will be happening all weekend, and in the past the conference has been broadcasted live over the internet, as it happens. Expect this to be the case again this year. If you're interested in seeing Wray's talk specifically, you'll have to wake up by 8:00am because of the extreme hour time zone difference (it will be 2:00 in the afternoon in Amsterdam). It looks like they'll post the video to their site after the conference, so don't worry if you miss it.
