2026/10 - Blender Adaptation: Hit the ground running in Blender (Helge Maus)


Blender is the free, open-source alternative to expensive, long-established "industry standard" commercial 3D applications. It offers an all-in-one package for 3D modeling, photorealistic and stylized visualization, digital sculpting, and, of course, impressive animations. While other 3D software packages are developed sluggishly and often impractically, Blender, with its agile and artist-community-driven approach, demonstrates how to consistently deliver new, artist-centric features with each release without a subscription (!) and infinitely expandable to meet individual production needs. It's no wonder that more and more studios outside the hobbyist and indie scene are looking to Blender and seeking a way to get started. This masterclass addresses precisely that need: a Blender deep dive for anyone who wants a fast, effective, and practical introduction.

His training tracks the fast-moving state of both Blender and Godot ecosystem and through constant exchange with artists and industry experts, Helge Maus continually develops further his concepts to stay up-to-date for his clients. His strong industry background in teaching Unity, Houdini FX, Cinema 4D and Maya over many years helps him to train with a wide practical production context. His current training focus is on “Blender for Game Production” and “Game Development with Godot” (C#, GDScript and GDExtension with Rust). Helge has worked with clients such as Ubisoft, Rebellion, d3t, Tangent Animation, Adobe Systems, SideFX, Maxon, Jung-von-Matt, redseven Entertainment, ProSiebenSat.1, SKY, Sony, Intel and many others. He started as a freelancer for Adobe in 1999, was a Maxon Certified Lead Instructor for Cinema 4D for many years and beta tester for Maya, Cinema 4D, AfterEffects and Adobe Flash. He took his first steps as a kid into game development on a Commodore 64 and then worked in his professional career early with Macromedia Flash (later Adobe Flash) for building games and interactive applications in ActionScript. Later with Unity and then Godot Engine. He published several publications teaching Houdini FX, Cinema 4D, Unity, Flash and Game Development.
