Map Range Node commit – BlenderPRO 2012

Thanks to their substantial support we were able to gather so many Blender professionals in the same place, which, as I hope this video demonstrates, is the necessary fuel for collaborative development.

I also would like to personally thank the organization team of the BlenderPRO this year. The event hasn’t yet even started, but it’s already been a very interesting exchange of experience, ideas, …
