Blender 2.64 - the Open Source VFX pipeline


The Blender Foundation and online developer community is proud to present Blender 2.64. This release was targeted at improving Blender for the Mango open movie project, along with integrating branches and patches from the past years.
The focus was on creating a full VFX pipeline, with improved motion tracking using a planar tracker, easier green screen keying, and a new mask editor. A new tile based compositing system was added, along with more advanced color management. Cycles rendering got dozens of smaller features and improvements resulting from its use in production.
Sculpting now supports masks, and a skin modifier was added to quickly create a model from skeletons. The game engine got improved shadows and physics options, and Collada export now has more options to tune for exporting to other game engines.

New Classroom Rules

In light of certain classroom happenings, there are several new rules by which we all must abide to prevent trouble of any kind.

1. All personal items are required to be stored in the class locker.
             This includes: extra clothing, personal electronic devices, backpacks, etc.
2. Assigned Seats are mandatory. Students must remain in the seat for the duration of the class.
3. Students are to perform NO activities unless CADD related.

Mr. Alexander reserves the right to create new rules when necessary as required by administration in response to student actions.
