Today AMD joined the Blender Foundation Development Fund at Patron level. We will invest it in general development, Vulkan migration and to keep AMD technologies well supported for our users. Thanks a lot! https://t.co/vFdhNcJbOR #b3d

As Patron-level members, both AMD and NVIDIA will contribute at least €120k per year to the foundation. Additionally, AMD and NVIDIA are expected to keep a small number of developers dedicated to developing and improving the Blender Foundation's core. While NVIDIA will certainly ensure the Blender platform tightly integrates and supports its own GPU technology, AMD will ensure its Vulkan GPU technology is supported optimally.Blender 2.8 seems massive, but the future looks just as bright.
