After several months of hard work adapting the Blender source code low level routines, we have accomplished something seemingly impossible: a port of Blender for the good old Commodore 64 written in 6502 chip assembler language

Our first tests were carried out using the well known VICE emulator, but the crucial experiment was done in a Drean C-64 that was still in use at a laboratory in Comision Nacional de Energia Atomica.

C64’s original VIC 20 graphic chipset does not allow reasonable screen resolutions and for that reason we had to adapt an old VGA card using a custom made interface. Soon more details.

Thanks to everybody at B-Conf 2009 ! :)))

Well yeah I won Suzanne Award for Best Character Animation 2009 !

I feel I’m in the middle of a search, final goal is uncertain, only thing I can do is relax and enjoy the search. I have so many things in my mind lately that I need to write down some of these ideas and discoveries before the wind of oblivion takes them.

Do you remember those old wind-up tin toys when we were kids ? I remember I had a small tin steam boat my dad gave me for christmas or a birthday. I had to light something inside that burnt and the steamboat sailed in the yard’s sink where my mom used to wash.
