Project Gold Premiere - Blender Studio

The Blender Studio team is proud to release Project Gold.

All done! Took 90 minutes to render, on the dot.

I sorta want to make a 60fps version, maybe at half speed. But that would mean 4x the frames as this one, and I'm not ready to devote 6 hours of render time to this.

Not bad for a half-day's work! 😎

Just quickly thrown together, but so fun to work on this kind of data viz.

People familiar with Flatpak and Blender... want to help Blender on board with Flatpak, officially upstream?

There's an open issue with initial tasks to be completed: projects.blender.org/blender/b…

They could use some help around packaging and permissions. :)

Flatpak package for Linux releases

Blender on Linux is already available as a Snap package. Flatpak seems to be the more popular format at least on non-Ubuntu based distributions, so it would sense to officially support it as well.
