I can go in and render, and they look, half the time I feel like I'm not sure it's a rendering because they look so dang realistic now. Those are the kinds of things I can build if I'm in blender. Often they have a 3D rendering of how this works. I feel like I've seen I've seen more and more 3D renderings showing up in say anybody that watches my show, I'm accidentally a gear nerd and I'll go and look at the camera gear. PRINCE: I really is a product that's grown and grown and a lot of people used to consider, oh, it's not a commercial product, but very much here to say, it is a good product that is made by the hands of developers across the world. There's a movie on Netflix called NextGen that models from Blender. There are even movies made completely with Blender.

There's a tool called Spline, which is a web based interface that lets you do 3D modeling and it's popular for animations. There's currently a lot of work being done with 3JS which is another web GL kind of project. They do that into websites, that kind of backdrop, it's easier to make the 3D modeling as opposed to doing that 2D drawing in the same 3D space. The output you get from whatever kind of modeling you do. Yeah, I think a lot of times, people use these types of renders. Where have you kind of seen, I guess, as you've been learning, have you kind of noticed here's where Blender is being used? Some spots we might not be thinking about? JASON: Gotcha, yeah, so I think the most famous I think you see from Blender is usually, let's make a donut or something, right? And so, what I've seen as I've poked around on this is Blender is where most of the, like, those 3D renderings that we're seeing where somebody has made, like, a cupcake that doesn't look like a cartoon, it looks like a computer drawing, like a Pixar drawing, right? That seems to be the space where a lot of this is emerging. But no, oh, there needs to be a server hosted somewhere. That is not, no transferable things for that. As far as skills, I used to do or still do things with 3JS, so how to understand the 3D space are transferable, but as far as, oh, what web development stuff I can do, absolutely none of that. But understanding, like, programmatically why do certain things need to be done a certain way gives me much more of an appreciation to the software where, like, Blender, for instance, is a completely open source project.Īnd I think that's something really fascinating about, oh, why do they make these certain decisions? You can actually see why and the bugs that are made in the surface and whatnot. There aren't that many transferable skills to the interfaces.

I think the new feeling of getting started with something that you've never done before, that kind of hit me hard where it's like, oh, you have to start all over. How surreal does it feel moving from an engineering space to the Blender space? Does it feel like there's a lot of crossover? It's not really not dev, but it's not dev. It's been fun to watch this creative expansion, it's an adjacent tag. I've seen you doing it, Sarah Viera, Josh Cuomo who has been in Blender, to name a few. And it feels like there's been a bit of wave of this.

JASON: Yeah, you've been doing really fun stuff with, I've been watching you make little scenes in Blender and some very, very cool stuff is going on. And outside of that, really, I like to make things and so, most of that is both in websites but also, figuring out how to do 3D animation stuff. I primarily focus on what is known as templates, I help make the getting started for flow as smooth as possible. PRINCE: I am a developer experience engineer over at a company called Netlify. So Prince, for folks who aren't familiar, you've been on the show a few times, but maybe give us a little bit of a background on yourself. JASON: I'm going to make a request to the chat which is refrain from booping today because we are using every single I might, let's see, my CPU is currently running at 400%. JASON: I'm already having some hesitation, I've got Blender open in the background and I don't know if everybody saw those boops go frame by frame. We're going to do some 3D things and figure out how all of that goes. Today on the show, we are bringing back Prince, how you doing, Prince? And welcome to another episode of Learn with Jason.
