Reboot

Ouch, two full years have passed since my last post here… and I wholeheartedly hate abandoned websites! In the meanwhile I graduated, moved to a different country, got a job in the visual effects industry and also got married. Quite a time.

In this period my amateur interests moved away a bit from 3d and onto digital painting, a passion that found an outlet in my other blog-turned-kinda-webcomic (sorry, in Italian).

Someone may still have this blog in their feeds from my short spell as a Blender developer. I’m unlikely to contribute anything substantial anytime soon, but luckily, since then, the evolution of the rendering side of Blender has been in the safe hands of Brecht, who is definitely heading in the right direction. At the moment I’d rather devote my scarce resources to help out Gimp, which gets a lot less developer love!

In the meanwhile I’ll start reusing this blog to post code snippets, scripts and the odd technical rant mainly to have them handy for my own convenience but also in the hope that someone might find them useful occasionally. Blender aggregators who wish to keep this feed are advised to track only the Blender category as most other posts wouldn’t be of interest.

Blog warming

This is my second blog. It’s written in English and is going to deal mostly with technical matters — thoughts, comments, works in progress.

Many people think that keeping a blog is a pretentious effort. They argue that by publishing what you write, you are implicitly claiming that your thoughts, or your accomplishments, are worth other people’s time.

I understand this view perfectly well and I have been sharing it in the past. But then I slowly changed my mind, simply observing that I routinely find a lot of valuable information and interesting point of views scattered through blogs. This does not mean that I subscribe to every blog that I stumble upon, but I do think that their authors made the right choice in publishing them.

I’m starting this blog in the hope that someone will find an interesting post here every now and then. If not, writing down your thoughts tends to be a fruitful effort anyway.
