Three days in Amsterdam, numerous presentations, and, above all, many conversations with people from the 3D industry: Our team attended the Blender Conference 2026 together.

For us, the event was a great opportunity to step away from our daily routine for a few days, gain new perspectives, and see what other studios, artists, and developers are currently working on.

EXCHANGING IDEAS WITH INDUSTRY PEERS

The direct exchange was particularly valuable for us.

In our day-to-day work, we often focus intensely on specific projects, workflows, and challenges. At an event like BlenderCon, you quickly realize that many others are facing similar questions.

How can processes be improved? Which tools work well? Where do others hit a wall, and what solutions have they found?

These conversations provide fresh inspiration and show just how differently the same challenges can be approached.

A COMMUNITY THAT SHARES ITS KNOWLEDGE

What stands out most at BlenderCon is the openness within the community.

It’s not just about showcasing impressive projects; many participants also share their own tools, experiences, and workflows with one another.

In some cases, even custom-developed add-ons were made available for free.

This willingness to share knowledge is exactly what makes the Blender community so special to us. It’s not just about showing off your own work, but about getting better together.

NEW IDEAS FROM OTHER ARTISTS AND STUDIOS

Of course, it was also exciting to see what others are creating with Blender.

The work of studios like le truc or artists like Bao-Thinh Dinh shows how versatile Blender can be and what becomes possible when you constantly push existing boundaries.

Projects like these are inspiring because they demonstrate that there is rarely just one right way to do things.

You discover new approaches, different technical solutions, and ideas that might also be applicable to your own work.

CONSTANTLY QUESTIONING WORKFLOWS

3D production is constantly evolving.

New Blender features, add-ons, technologies, and AI are changing how specific tasks can be solved.

That is why it is important not to get too comfortable with a single workflow. What works well today might be done more easily, quickly, or effectively tomorrow.

For us, BlenderCon was a reminder to stay curious and regularly try out new things.

WHAT WE BROUGHT BACK FROM AMSTERDAM

After three days, we returned with many new impressions, ideas, and, above all, a lot of motivation.

BlenderCon once again showed us the value of exchanging ideas with others in the industry and how much we can learn from one another.

Our biggest takeaway:

Don't settle for what already works. Keep learning, experimenting, and enjoying the process of exploring new possibilities.

We are definitely glad that we were able to attend together as a team this year.
