Imposter Syndrome — BCON26
"Imposter Syndrome" by Thomas R Murphy at Blender Conference 2026 While optimizing EEVEE Next for the UP Blender Game Engine, Tom developed an imposter-card shader and add-on to streamline asset creation and boost real-time performance. Only after creating the add-on for his personal use, did he realize that it could help almost all artists seeking to reduce render times, expedite asset production and improve real-time performance. – Learn more about Blender Conference 2026 at https://conference.blender.org/2026/ #b3d #BCON26
