Meet the splash for the upcoming Blender 4.4!

Featuring Flow, a film by Gints Zilbalodis. Golden Globe-winning film and 2025 Oscar nominee for Best Animated Feature Film and Best International Feature Film 🐈⬛ #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.
