Generating synthetic data for deep learning Blender 2022-10-29 | We, the Virtual Reality & Multimedia Group of the Freiberg University of Mining & Technology (Germany), would like to introduce our Blender add-on “BlAInder” – a range scanner tool to simulate depth sensors, e.g. LiDAR (laser) or sonar (ultrasonic) for synthetic data generation.These sensors are common technology within a wide range of domains, e.g. autonomous driving and robotics. To simplify the training data generation process for the AI of these systems, this add-on enables a largely automated generation of semantically annotated point-cloud data in virtual 3D environments.Within the add-on, different depth sensors can be loaded from presets, customized sensors can be implemented and different environmental conditions (e. g., influence of rain, dust) can be simulated. The semantically labeled data can be exported to various 2D and 3D formats and are thus optimized for different deep learning applications and visualizations. In addition, semantically labeled images can be exported using the rendering functionalities of Blender.The add-on is fully open-source, you can find it on GitHub: github.com/ln-12/blainder-range…. We published a scientific paper on this topic, which you can find here: mdpi.com/1424-8220/21/6/2144."Generating synthetic data for deep learning" by Stefan ReitmannBlender Conference 20222022-10-29 16:00 at the attic.

Train the train by generating data from a virtual environment Blender 2022-10-29 | The drive for automation and autonomy in everyday life is on the rise. It is very evident in traffic.In addition to research in autonomous car transport, rail transport is also booming. To be sufficiently accurate and usable, these autonomous systems are harnessing state-of-the-art approaches to artificial intelligence and machine learning. However, these require vast amounts of data to achieve the necessary reliability.Very often, part of the data is simulated by creating complete virtual environments, which are often replicas of real environments and also enable the simulation of critical scenarios that cannot otherwise be realized.IT4Innovations is involved in a project that aims to create parametric virtual environments of a train track and provide a plausible simulation of train sensors."Train the train by generating data from a virtual environment" by Petr StrakosBlender Conference 20222022-10-29 14:30 at the theater.
Gitea onboarding for developers Blender 2022-10-29 | An end of an era is coming, soon!That is to say, Blender's going to stop using the software we're using on developer.blender.org to develop our code, organize teams, etc.Does this mean that we'll stop coding? Is this the end of Blender?Of course not! It just means we'll be doing it with new software, in a new way that is aimed to be better, more easy for new people to pick up and will secure our needs for the coming future.All that, and done with open source, too!If you are a developer (or just sufficiently geeky), this is a talk that aims to get you to have a peek at what the status is of our new source-code forge, what to expect, what's still in progress and also have an opportunity to ask questions, give comments and help make it a better yet."Gitea onboarding for developers" by Arnd MarijnissenBlender Conference 20222022-10-29 13:00 at the attic.
Rigging with the Blender Studio tools Blender 2022-10-29 | A showcase of how I rig characters at the Blender Studio, using tools like CloudRig and Pose Shape Keys.In just 50 minutes I will try to show every step of my rigging process from scratch, starting with positioning the bones of a "MetaRig" to generate the control rig, through a little bit of rough weight painting, all the way to having a few basic mouth shapes using both bones and shape keys.Rigging a (unique) character properly from start to finish would take a bit longer than 50 minutes, so don't expect an amazing result here! The focus here is on showcasing the workflow."Rigging with the Blender Studio tools" by Demeter DzadikBlender Conference 20222022-10-29 13:00 at the classroom.

Progress on a new Bevel Geometry Node Blender 2022-10-29 | Work has begun on a remake of Bevel as a Geometry Node. As well as rewriting in C++ for better future maintainability, the main new user feature is handling overlap collisions by merging geometry as the bevel offset edges start to overlap. The node will also have a collision-aware face bevel feature that will act as a smart inset.This talk is about the progress on the new node, with an emphasis on how to specify what it does, and the algorithm used to deal with collisions by adapting the "Weighted Straight Skeleton" algorithm to the 3D mesh case.

Managing heavy shots at Cube Creative studio Blender 2022-10-29 | Cube Creative presents its work and progress on their pipeline based on Blender 3.1.This upgrade allowed them to introduce the management of LODs. This is achieved through an in-house add-on, which allows graphic designers to manage the display, update, upgrade and downgrade of assets, by changing their level of definition, whether it is at the level of modelling and shading, but also in terms of rigging.All this is based on the reference, collection and especially instance collection system present in Blender.Cube Creative will also show you how this LOD information is transmitted and interpreted, from an animation shot which has its own constraints, to a rendering shot which has different constraints and needs."Managing heavy shots at Cube Creative studio" by Axel Tillement, Tanguy WeylandBlender Conference 20222022-10-29 10:00 at the studio.
