"Refactoring & Modernizing Code" by Bastien Montagne at Blender Conference 2026

This talk aims at raising awareness and knowledge over code refactoring, from a code and architecture quality perspective. It covers what should be part of a refactor's goals, and some of its common pitfalls.

It also presents some well established principles which contribute to good quality of both the code itself, and the higher-level software architecture.

To illustrate these principles with a real-life example, it does a short retrospective over a decade of ID management refactoring and improvements in Blender codebase.

"The Nature Generator: Creating Production-Ready Geometry Nodes Tools" by Andreas Dürr at Blender Conference 2026

How do you turn an idea into a production-ready Geometry Nodes tool?

This presentation follows the development of The Nature Generator from its earliest prototypes to the final production tool. Rather than focusing on the product, I will share the technical solutions, optimization strategies, and lessons learned while balancing flexibility, usability, and performance.

"Le Loup: Adapting a 2D Graphical Novel with a 3D Cinematic Storytelling in Blender" by Achille Biais at Blender Conference 2026

Following the success of I Lost My Body, Xilam Studio continued its exploration of mature, cinematic storytelling with Le Loup, adapted from Jean-Marc Rochette’s graphic novel. To capture the emotional journey of Gaspard and the shifting moods of the wilderness around him, we felt we needed to combine a compelling 3D cinematography and acting with a radically 2D graphic aesthetic. We developed new tools and workflows to build on what Blender has to offer and allow artists to collaborate seamlessly in 2D and 3D, creating a painterly and emotionally powerful experience

"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.
