As far as i know is pixar using its own tool called renderman(?).
I'm learning to work with blender for studies. These animations are really good :)

i meant compared to elephant's dreams, the animation was improved.
it doesn't compare to pixar's animations (maya?), but for a free software it's pretty versatile.

Yeah well Elephants Dream's plot didn't make much sense until after you watched it about 5 times. Regardless, I think Elephants Dream was actually superior in terms of animation and I'm having trouble deciding which had better graphics overall. There were definitely intriguing special effects in both. Though I admit that the flying squirrels gliding was impressive looking.

Yeah, I just can't tell if there's actual fur on the rodents sometimes. here's definitely visible fur on the tails but there are times I think there's just really good texture for the rest of the body. I can't tell though.
But I must disagree on the animation. There was a few times when the animation looked a bit... stiff. Regardless, it's still impressive and is by far superior to my own capabilities.

they definatelly improved the fur, physics, and shading in the new blender (2.46). but what really got me was the animation!

And which of these did you say were open-source again? Ah, yes. Blender. And which other of these applications have ever been engaged in a production of this caliber that was completely open-source as well? So it's not just the application I'm talking about, it's the entire environment in which this and Elephant's Dream were created.

Come on nowadays, you have maya, max, softimage XSI and blender. They are all top notch software, with pretty much the same set of features, it's the people behind the software that make it happen. |
