👋Last week was busy — first talk at Blender Conference, done. Response
was good, thanks to everyone who showed up or said hi afterward.

20 minutes doesn't really cover grooming a cat's fur though. We picked
the parts that mattered most and left a lot out. So this weekend we sat
down and wrote the whole thing up properly, coat analysis through to
the mistakes we made.

Might be a longer read than you were expecting. Let us know if you'd
want more of these. by @vfx.grace
