AMD Joins Blender As A Patron
<div style="margin: 5px 5% 10px 5%;"><img src="https://www.sickgaming.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/amd-joins-blender-as-a-patron.png" width="652" height="249" title="" alt="" /></div><div><p>2019 has been a massive year for the open source 3D application Blender. Back in July <a href="https://www.gamefromscratch.com/post/2019/07/30/Blender-280-Released.aspx">Blender 2.80 was released</a>, perhaps the biggest release in Blender’s history. Just a few days later, <a href="https://www.gamefromscratch.com/post/2019/07/15/Epic-Games-Give-Blender-Foundation-12M.aspx">Epic Games announced</a> that they would be giving Blender 1.2M dollars as part of their Mega-grant program. Then earlier this month, NVIDIA <a href="https://www.gamefromscratch.com/post/2019/10/07/Blender-Is-Not-For-Sale.aspx">became a Patron level sponsor</a>, the highest tier possible. Today another company joined that tier, announced in <a href="https://twitter.com/blender_org/status/1187019907768242176">the following tweet</a>:</p>
<p><a href="https://www.gamefromscratch.com/image.axd?picture=image_3470.png"><img width="652" height="249" title="image" alt="image" src="https://www.sickgaming.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/amd-joins-blender-as-a-patron.png" border="0"></a></p>
<p>No formal details of the partnership have been announced by either Blender or AMD as of yet, but a patron level sponsorship means that AMD will be giving the Blender Foundation at least 120K Euro/month, enabling the hiring of at least two developers full time!</p>
