[Bf-blender-npr] Blender Conference 2014

[Wasili Novratidis]

Dear readers,

Hereby I announce that we send in our proposal for a presentation at the 
Blender Conference 2014 regarding to NPR in Blender. If this proposal 
gets accepted I will be doing the presentation for it. The presentation 
is about explaining what we want and why and is contained in the wiki 
found here: http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:LightBWK.

*Brief summary of presentation:*
As the quest for realistic rendering goes on, there is a large subset of 
the market and production companies demanding a superior 
non-photorealistic (NPR) render engine. Blender, which is an integral 
part in many small studios in an emerging market, is in need of an 
inclusive NPR renderer to catch up with the tides. An inclusive NPR 
renderer must be flexible, expandable and fast. We explain what NPR is, 
the obstacles of doing NPR with current render engines, and how to 
overcome those obstacles. We have come to the conclusion that to build a 
render engine that can handle many styles with a fast and easy to 
understand workflow, we need to break some of the old rendering 
paradigms and merge ideas from traditional artistic medium. We are 
currently exploring how to build such an engine and are actively calling 
for the community to be involved.


If you have questions, feel free to respond.

Kind regards,


Wasili Novratidis
