"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.
