Hi Guys,
I have been keeping an eye on the following:
http://orange.blender.org/
This is a full 3D Movie called "Elephant Dreams" made completely in
BLENDER. It is now complete [ 7 months or so ] and has been shown in
Theatres already. It is now available under the Creative Commons license
as a Double DVD including all the Models and Scenes for anyone to remake
the movie differently.
SO - to make such a movie - Has Blender now out stripped Realsoft for
Animation and Character Animation? As can be seen the film has a number
of complete animated Characters.
Yeah, but not only in the character anim area but also in the game
business:
there's a toolkit & some (very basic) examples on a CD delivered with a
book
showing some tricks of the trade. Members of this mailing list who
complained
'bout missing support of these features in Realsoft should have a look
at the blender internet pages. Blender also features Python scripting
(which IMHO is superior to the Javascript support of Realsoft) and VRML
export (do you listen Arjo ?) though only for Version 1.0. (but you
don't have to pay for that ;-) ....)
