Job at NaN

[walter . jan]

Hi,

finally I moved to London (UK) and yesterday I met there with Sanne 
from Not a Number (NaN) to sign a new (one year) contract. At lunch we 
talked about hiring new people and I said: Let's hire some of the Panorama 
people. They are professional (in terms of their work) and we should find 
a way how they could work for us without disturbing the Panorama 
development ;-)

Anyone interested? Getting paid for a Computer Graphics job and having 
the freedom to work on Panorama as well. This is NOT an official 
announcement of Not a Number. I just want to know if someone would be 
interested and how we could find a way that both sides are happy. Blender has 
it's own very fast renderer and I think this will still be true in the 
future. But I want a closer connection to some other renderers and Panorama 
could be one of them. We have another person working on a new rendering 
engine and I think he would appreciate some help. So: Get paid for your 
help and don't fear that this means any limitation for Panorama. 
Panorama is open source, Blender not. But this doesn't necessarily mean that we 
can not work together.

For my part I can say that it's great that I can work from the UK now 
(from Germany in the past). Blender and Not a Number is open minded and 
some of their work will get open source (like my export scripts or the 
render deamon project) but NOT EVERYTHING. There are a lot of different 
options available how to work together. I can keep on going by export 
scripts or maybe someone has a better idea ...

Let me know what all of you think about my suggestion. I know there was 
a discussion about Panorama <-> Blender in the past but I think Ton and 
some of you misunderstood each other ;-[

Cheers,

Jan
