Title: Sintel - free short film
Post by: feppe on October 04, 2010, 05:06:20 pm

Here the full CGI short film (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRsGyueVLvQ). Much more than a tech demo or a proof of concept for making a compelling free short film, these guys actually have a good story and a decent plot. Made entirely on open source (free) rendering software Blender, by international artist collaboration.

Released for free (as in free) under Creative Commons.

"Sintel" is an independently produced short film, initiated by the Blender Foundation as a means to further improve and validate the free/open source 3D creation suite Blender. With initial funding provided by 1000s of donations via the internet community, it has again proven to be a viable development model for both open 3D technology as for independent animation film.
This 15 minute film has been realized in the studio of the Amsterdam Blender Institute, by an international team of artists and developers. In addition to that, several crucial technical and creative targets have been realized online, by developers and artists and teams all over the world.
