"Future of Flight: Building Aviation Worlds" by Stefan Zorzor, Justin Uijldert at Blender Conference 2026

INK is a London-based creative studio specialising in CGI, animation, design and creative technologies. For over a decade, we have worked at the intersection of art and technology, helping global brands including McLaren F1 Racing, Air Canada, adidas, Aston Martin and Disney bringing ideas to life through compelling storytelling.

In this session, our CG team will explore how Blender powers INK's production pipeline, focusing on aircraft, cabin experiences and large-scale environments. Through real-world case studies, we'll share insights into CAD integration, pre-lighting, linked assets, scene optimisation and rendering workflows behind world-class aviation campaigns.

"How We Built the BCON26 Visual Identity" by Filippo Martinelli, Federica Amico at Blender Conference 2026

Blender is more than a tool. BCON is more than a meetup. So its identity should be more than just a pretty image. We took Blender, mixed it with our illustration and motion design skills, and threw a LAN party. A real one. The kind where everyone actually parties hard. In this talk we'll walk you through the whole process: sketching, illustrating, bringing 3D and mixed media characters to life, all to celebrate this community the way it deserves. Concept, creative and technical, in equal parts. Because making assets that make you feel part of the party is both an art and science.
