Earlier this year me and four other brave blenderheads got together and decided to start a regular meeting of Blender users in Nuremberg, Germany. The NuremBUG was born.

From time to time I do some tests or create random doodles. I finally gathered them all in a playlist for you to enjoy :). Constantly updated!

A few days ago I started playing with fire in Blender once again. This time I wanted to create a style useful for advert-like backgrounds. But since the result looked pretty cool, I ended up rendering an entire animation of slow-motion fire, anyways:

...but still look pretty cool! Sometimes a bug in Blender can help creating stuff that really looks awesome. Take this experiment for example!
