2008-Oct-26: William Reynish presentation on Blender's UI

Saw at Matt Ebb's blog a link where we can download some videos of some Blender Conference presentations.

One of them, as noticed by Matt, is by Big Buck Bunny animator William Reynish. The title is "The evolution of Blenders User Interface", and it is a great study on how Blender's interface was built and what should be improved to the next major version (2.5).

There are some really clever and important notes on the interface that could really improve Blender's UI. I really recommend you to watch it and, if possible, help contribute with this new version. :)

Interesting presentation.

BTW, I think the community should seriously do a donation drive to purchase the BF a good clip-on microphone for these conference presentations. Every year, a lot of great presentations are ruined by inaudible presenters. They rarely speak INTO the microphone and they keep moving away from it.

Thanks.
