"From Comics to Animated Films: Bringing a Graphic Novel to Life—Solo!" by Dirk I. Tiede at Blender Conference 2025

Graphic novelist Dirk I. Tiede shares how he single-handedly adapted his comic series Paradigm Shift into an animated short film. He demonstrates the challenges of creating character rigs (including a fully transformable werewolf rig!), using comics as storyboards, recreating his illustrative style using EEVEE and Grease Pencil, and ultimately bringing it all together to bring the comic to life!

"Squishy Volumes at Your Fingertips" by Lars Helge Scheel at Blender Conference 2025

The Material Point Method (MPM) is a powerful technique for physical simulations, combining elastic, rigid, sand, and fluid objects. Over the past decade, it has become an important tool for VFX. Houdini and Maya already support it. In this talk, you will get an intuitive explanation of how MPM works and a showcase of a work-in-progress extension written in Rust that integrates MPM into Blender.

"Revolutionizing Virtual Production Car Process with Blender" by Mike Hodgetts at Blender Conference 2025

This presentation will look at the ways in which Sim-Plates is changing the way that car process is shot for virtual production.

Car Process is the method of shooting driving scenes against an LED Wall/Volume or green screen, which is traditionally done with captured plates. Sim-Plates.com create all our plates in 3D using Blender, which has several advantages over traditionally shot plates.

In this talk Mike will cover the advantages of CG driving plates and look at some of the techniques that Sim-Plates use in Blender to create them.

"Custom Particle Systems in Geometry Nodes" by Kris Meeusen at Blender Conference 2025

With the introduction of simulation nodes, many popular physics systems can now be created directly within Geometry Nodes. One of the easiest and most enjoyable systems to start with is a particle system. Once you understand the basics, it becomes a lot of fun to creatively bend the laws of physics.
