A friend and fellow blenderhead was the first to drop the news, then my photos on Flickr confirmed it, and now, you get to hear the news from me: For the next few month, I’ll be working at the Scientific Visualization Unit at IFC – Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche Pisa, on a research project to develop new ways to visualize proteins molecules using Blender.
The project team is a well balanced mixture of scientists and artists, so you know you can expect something incredible from us :D. The short movie they made had already been submitted to Siggraph 2010.

Very nice talk. My work currently is slightly more targeted towards the scientific crowed, so accurate information representation has priority over visual attractiveness. That is not to say that those two are mutually exclusive, but sometimes it’s hard to have both :)
David Bolinsky’s 10 minute film took more than a year to produce and was done with Maya.
