We were just about to head out for lunch today and when we couldn’t get the door open. Looking through the small side glass panel on the side we saw this present at our studio front door! We were so excited, Jonathan repelled down the building with dental floss, Wes took a nap on the couch, Tim started drawing on the walls and Alessandro.. well Alessandro is in Rome, so we sent him a Skype Message about it. All while Jonathan was running back up the stairs to help get the door open.. With the door open we heard a grumble and.. (Ah, okay that was all fabricated and most likely not true. )
But in all seriousness, this is something we like to do each year around the holidays on the Blender Cookie. A way to say thank you for another rocking year and the support you guys have given us. It has been quite the ride this past year and our way to give a little more back.
You can mark it on your calendar to come back here and open it up on December 25th! A bit after midnight (-6GMT) we will open up the download for the present for you to open and see what is inside, and then you can post back here to the world what we got you for the holiday. Until then no sneaking a peak, shaking the present, or feeling how heavy it is. You may only look at it. (It is a digital thing)











cool. can´t wait!!!! haha i´m the first
Is it an outdoor enviroment????
I’m there!
Exciting
Of course we wont shake it. It’s overshadowing those trees, how are we gonna even pick it up? =P
In all seriousness, it looks pretty exciting indeed!
Cool !!! Xmas presents.
Starting with the countdown.
The left one looks like a teddy or a toony dragon of some sort
It looks exciting.

Im 11 still getting to grips and this might really help me with my work cant wait to see it
P.S. Dental floss?(why not make a digital chainsaw to open the door lol)
I don’t get it!
Awesome! I wasn’t here last year….can’t wait!
#16! I don’t feel so bad. Someone has to work. LOL
I can’t wait! I have two questions, though.
1) How long will the download be available?
2) Is it available to non-citizen members?
Also, is it just me, or do those trees look Low-poly? Perhaps it is a collection of low-poly game environment assets? That would be AWESOMELY INCREDIBLY AMAZING.
Animal, vegetable or mineral?
I DEMAND TO KNOW NOW ….. please, please….
……… I hate waiting…. *starts to pace*
lol, that’s some nice Nathan-Drake-action there, Jonathan!
Hey wait a second, what did David do in the meantime? …wait…maybe he’s behind it all!
anyway, big thanks for another great year everyone! I haven’t followed many of your tutorials in recent months, to be honest, but you’re still my #1 Go-To site for Blender info
BlenderCookie FTW!
Yeah, what happened with David?
cant wait ^^
Cool… can’t wait!!!!
Woaw! I’d like to be 1st (if only I wasn’t about 7000km far away from you…)
Ha where abouts are you? The office door is always open!

Repelling down the building with floss eh? I gotta try that sometime.
Jonathan, Wes & Tim,
Merry Christmas to you all. If last year is an exmple of what to expect, then I am looking forward to a nice long download beginning around 1 AM EST on the 26th. You Guys Rock! Thanks so much in advance.

Help! I’m stuck in Dental Floss! Well, that was a dramatization….it could happen. Thank you, Wes, Jonathan, Tim and Alessandro and to all of the cookies, Merry Festivus!
-Cris

SchhhhaaaWeet!
Thank you for the present this year too, Blender Cookie Staff!!!
Hope the package won’t be ruined during the travel on the internet wires
sweeet!
by the way, anyone by chance have the 2009 present zip file? the download link on the 2009 present here in cgcookie is pointing to the 2010 zip file..
Is this only for citizens?
Nope, it’s our small gift to everyone
-Jonathan
Can you not download it anymore? because the “download source files” button isn’t there
