Hi,
No long and boring programming talk this week, only a few nice images.

And don't miss out on these open movie projects made with Blender: Elephants Dream, Big Buck Bunny, Sintel, Tears of Steel.

These images might be used later on during loading screens, or they could make nice posters!
Hope you enjoy them,
