We proudly present: the Durian team!
on June 20th, 2009, by TonOut of the almost 150 submissions, we’ve had the difficult job to pick five names of people to join us for the Durian project here in Amsterdam. The overall quality of submissions was just amazing, we could have easily picked 30 of them!
With Colin, David and Brecht we managed to get the list trimmed down to 24. Based on feedback from some expert artists it was then brought down to about 12, and then still… but strictly based on evident skills we need, and getting a good all-round expertise, the five new Durian members are:
- Angela Guenette (modeling, rigging, animation)
- Ben Dansie (3D generalist)
- Nathan Vegdahl (rigging, animation)
- Lee Salvemini (animation)
- Soenke Maeter (shading, light, compositing)
This in addition to:
- Colin Levy (director, 3D generalist)
- David Revoy (concept art)
I’m also very happy to announce we can get for technical support again the talents of:
- Brecht van Lommel
- Campbell Barton
I would like to thank everyone for sending in their enthusiast submissions! Everyone should have had an email from me by now too. We also have a small back-up team, in case we can find additional funding, or an amazing result of the DVD pre-sale campaign (which will start in 3-4 weeks).
And: check the updated “about” page, for more information, mugshots and portfolio links!

w00t, always nice to read about the selected talents,
may it be as fun as the last projects, if not even better!
June 20th, 2009 at 20:20
I abosultely can’t wait for this to start coming together!!
Please have as much as possible of the behing the scenes/making of stuff.
Too bad there can’t be something in the E shop of a full how to create an open movie. I know it would be a large undertaking but it could be done as you go along the entire creation process.
Thank you for such a great software product!!!!
June 20th, 2009 at 20:47
flip, what an amazing team!!
congrats guys, you are all brilliant artists and i look forward to seeing the outcome!
June 20th, 2009 at 23:53
Wow… lots of talent there!
Congrats, guys! I’ll be looking forward to see this movie. I’m sure it will be awesome.
Cheers
June 21st, 2009 at 00:55
congatulation !!!
best lucks guys !!!
June 21st, 2009 at 01:32
Thanks for replying to so many people that quickly. the chosen team members are soooo good… and generous too, some of them already share their knowledge a lot, especially BenDansie…
I hadn’t seen angela’s work before and must say I’m breathtaken, devastated… by her organic modelling abilities.
Who would’nt be jalous of Lee doing so great stuff that early in blender’s history and at such a young age (shinobe wowed memory)
Nathan will add some mature acting to such a project,
Soenke is an inspired award winner…
Guys I hope you’ll all get along well and show us the way!
June 21st, 2009 at 01:54
I can’t believe Nathan is on the roster after just doing BBB. Going to bring tons of expertise, but no one else was a returning candidate. Maybe Nathan is like me and the rest of us Americans who can’t find jobs.
Um um um, but no I’m not sore at all. Really lovely selections. Can I be the first to ask if Farthasay will be brought in to develop more volumetrics for this project?
June 21st, 2009 at 02:27
Bmud: Lee is also returning. He was part of the ED team.
June 21st, 2009 at 04:30
Kudos to Campbell as well! Add to that the obvious experience Brecht and Ton will bring as a support team of course…
Just thought it needed a mention.
I’m not sure how well my web hosting will hold up because I don’t think I have that much bandwidth on the plan, so http://vimeo.com/5252715 is another way to view my portfolio / application for those who are interested.
June 21st, 2009 at 04:38
wow!! very cool team!! can’t wait to see the them in action
June 21st, 2009 at 05:29
genial…
espero pronto ver los avances de la producción…
suerte a todos…
saludos…
June 21st, 2009 at 06:05
congratulations!
you guys really deserve it!
good luck! =)
June 21st, 2009 at 06:25
Good Luck Durian Team and Blender!
June 21st, 2009 at 06:33
Awesome team!! Can’t wait to see the outcome!
June 21st, 2009 at 07:21
Ben – Just updated your portfolio link on the about page.
Thanks for all the comments and kudos, guys! We’ll need your enthusiasm to keep us going in the dark months ahead.
And thanks to all who submitted, you made it extremely difficult for us!
June 21st, 2009 at 09:31
Congratulations to everybody!
Especially for Ben Dansie,I saw him grow so much on blenderartists.org,and for Angela,she is a really talented girl.
Nathan,I hope you’ll do some crazy muscle setup this time!
Bye
June 21st, 2009 at 10:14
Can’t wait to see Durian on display at my local BIG TV electrical store, just BBB!
June 21st, 2009 at 11:40
Can’t wait to see some work from this project. I will be following it very closely. I’m very happy to see so much Aussie talent on board too!
June 21st, 2009 at 13:04
Congrats to the winning team
I expect to see an awesome animation.
June 21st, 2009 at 16:36
Good going, this project is going to be very sexy. Remember to occlude the backfaces in wireframe mode sometime–retopologizing is probably going to be common on this project and without that occlusion you are going to be slowing down the modeling process.
As always, good luck.
June 21st, 2009 at 18:37
Good Luck for Team!!!!!
June 22nd, 2009 at 18:13
wooow in few words it´s an amazing team, i hope i could be in the next open movie project
June 23rd, 2009 at 12:00
Lee ??? Love you man! Never understood a word you said, lol.
I think this will showcase your skills better than the Laurel & Hardy you made ( hahaha , just kidding, I love Elephants dream )
Ben looks like he knows what hes doing. Colin should gear him less to effect and more to emotion. Unless ofcourse Ben becomes head of sfx, you know, besides, head of shading, head of coffee making etc etc.
Campbell is fantastic. Straight-as-a-bullit solutions that work.
Angela…. Sounds like a girls name…. Her portfolio makes me think she should be the director, sorry Colin.
This is all very super. I hope you can stand the pressure, but this is an amazing team.
I’m, as always, just worried about two things: Timing ( Edit ) and Emotion. I think you will have talents for solving both but their voices need to be heard.
O I didnt forget to mention all the team members, Theres just a fixed amount of times that a word amazing still has impact.

Just wondering this durian, Ive looked at the style of the promotional work and it seems cartoon/2D, is this a development that will utilize the 3D blender software to produce a 2D project. If not, still cant wait to see the product
June 27th, 2009 at 04:27
@luqman haqq – The mood board is mainly 2D/still images at the moment because it’s just an easy way to show the overall theme.
While we are certainly not bound by any one of the pieces on that page and may come up with a different visual style to all of them; it’s still way to early to say. For what it’s worth, there is a lot I personally like about the first and last video examples: “Onimusha 3″ and the “Wrath of the Lich King.”

Hello. I think the article is really interesting. I am even interested in reading more. How soon will you update your blog?
August 14th, 2009 at 13:37

Although I would’ve preferred if you went into a little bit more detail, I still got the gist of what you meant. I agree with it. It might not be a popular idea, but it makes sense. Will definitely come back for more of this. Great work
