It's actually funny, the lack of styling actually makes consuming the info alot easier.

Except I like to have some margin. And since I have a wide screen, the number of words per line is too large.

That is a weird take. Having a wide screen doesn't force you to maximize the window.

If anyone else is having trouble loading the CSS for the page, go to https://www.blender.org/wp-content/themes/bthree/style.css?x... to be Captcha'd by Cloudflare - it should load fine after that.

As https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45918066 says, go to https://www.blender.org/lab/ instead.

Apple, AMD , Intel, NVIDIA, ILM are companies who have contributed or continue to contribute to Blender development.

Pixar contributed OpenSubdiv and may have helped with integration?

Pixar also ships Renderman support for Blender https://rmanwiki-26.pixar.com/space/RFB26

Not sure if I understood correctly. Can we as individuals contribute to any of these projects?

I don't know about most people but to me seeing bits of my desktop on the sides of the window I care about feels like visual noise. I like to have all my apps maximized but maybe is that just me ?

I wonder if any of the Rendering Light Transport work includes work towards a spectral renderer.

The page is objectively and substantially better in every aspect of legibility with CSS loaded.

> objectively I do not think that word means what you think it means

I used it to mean that it's inarguably true and unrelated to opinion.

Hate seeing bits of your desktop showing? Try a tiling window manager, you might like it!

Yea, "Minimalism is better!" is like a reflex for some people

It often is. Turns out this page does fit the bill, CSS or not.

What's the label "requires funding and stakeholders". I can't see any explanation of that in the announcement

Essentially that someone needs to get involved that wants it/uses it and is also willing to pay for it.
