Congratulations to Gints Zilbalodis and the entire Flow film crew for the Academy Award win!
Flow is the manifestation of Blender’s mission, where a small independent team is able to create a story that moves audiences worldwide.
Thank you for the shout out! 🧡 #b3d

Flow –the animated sensation of the year– was created in Blender! Francesco had a chat with director Gints Zilbalodis to discuss his experience working on the film. The interview covers topics such as learning Blender, working with a team (actually multiple small teams), using add-ons, and single-handedly lighting and rendering the film.

New in Blender 4.4: Slotted Actions.
In this video, dr. Sybren shows how to work with Slotted Actions, a feature coming to Blender 4.4 and already available in daily builds.
In older Blender versions, this animation would have been spread across three different Actions, but using slots it can all be neatly stored in one Action instead.
