[Bf-cycles] Cycles contributor meeting at Blender Conference

Ton Roosendaal ton at blender.org
Wed Aug 10 17:47:42 CEST 2016


Hi,

Sorry for the confusing wording. 

I hope that companies who intend to sell Cycles plugins in a commercial infrastructure also would invest a bit in sending their developers to technical conferences. Our conference is really not that expensive.

However, I do know that some of the current Cycles integrators (Poser at least) also have contributed back. I would love to reward that with the usual developer discount then! 

Anyone who would like to get this discount can just send me a private mail :)

Thanks,

-Ton-
