UPDATE 2019: UnrealTower has been down for quite some years now. This weekend, I took a good look at Plone. It’s a very nice content management framework for creating websites. It’s written in Python, easy for users that want to publish articles without knowledge about HTML and databases, and quite easy to get going.

Multiblend version 1.2 has been released. With this version, NFS is no longer required, so the usage has become a lot easier. There are now only two requirements left: be able to SSH to the nodes without password, and pack all required files into the .

For all the people that want to have an easy way to use distributed rendering with Blender, I have the solution: Multiblend. It is a Python script that feeds chunks of frames to each computer on your network, allowing them to render in parallel and greatly improve rendering speeds.

I’m learning how to work with Blender’s game engine. Unfortunately, as soon as I press ‘p’ to start the engine, Blender crashes with a segmentation fault. Fortunately, I’ve found a way to fix this on Ubuntu Linux.

Finally, the Stüvel IT website can be reached by everyone. I’ve moved a lot of content from UnrealTower to this site, because this is a better place for it. I hope everybody enjoys my new site!

Fortunately, stuvel.eu became mine. Welcome to my new domain! It’s nice to finally have a personal domain :)
