+ | Vladimir Elistratov is the developer of the Blender-OSM add-on | ||
+ | |||
+ | He lives in Russia in the coastal Black Sea city of Sochi, which is learned is on what's called the Caucasian Riveria. He lives there with his wife and they have a 9 month old daughter - so congratulations to you and your wife on that. | ||
+ | |||
+ | We've had some trouble with our video & audio when we did some tests, we have a plan for what to do if things get too bad. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Although educated as a physicist Vladimir has worked a lot with OpenStreetMaps, often abbreviated as OSM, first working on it as a hobby since 2008 and later working professionally with OpenStreetMaps in web based GIS systems. Since 2016 Vladimir has worked full time on the add-on Blender-OSM which brings the greatness of openstreetmaps into the the Blender package for animation, modelling and so much more. The ultimate goal of the add-on is to generate an environment in Blender out of OpenStreetMap data as realistically as possible. A part of the talk will be dedicated to the textual description of the building style. | ||
+ | |||
+ | As Vladimir earns money from his add-on he also gives support back to Blender as a Gold Sponsor and is a member of the OpenStreeMaps foundation. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Today Vladimir will be telling us about his work and the add-on and maybe some tips on how to make a living working on FOSS projects. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Is there anything we should add Vladimir? | ||
+ | |||
+ | ... | ||
+ | |||
+ | The stage is yours, I look forward to hearing what you've been working on. | ||
