This is an insanely cool movie. Made entirely in Blender (http://www.blender.org). Just goes to show you that you don't need $3k+ software to make awesome renders or animations. I just bought the book Introducing Character Animation in Blender and this came on the CD, and I was blown away.

Pulp!

Pretty good. It's somewhat creepy but is really creative and inventive. I'm enjoying this...

It is pretty creepy, and in the beginning hard to follow, but there is some amazing work done. IMO, that is some of the best 3D work I've ever seen, period.


Edit: Also, the YouTube video doesn't do it justice. It looks 8000x better in the 1024xsomething version I got on the CD.

I downloaded it a long ass time ago, but never watched it because the download was corrupt. I never bothered downloading it again.

Man, didn't know blender could do stuff like that. My best friend used to use that program and he made some wicked sick animations, but I never thought something of that quality could come out of that program. Thats just sick. +rep dude.

Im going to have to try my hand at some basic stuff with that. Been looking for something to play around with when Im bored.

Yeah, the ending was my favorite part. It was really unexpected.

I'm starting to learn Blender, but it's pretty different than other 3D apps I've used. After playing with Blender and 3dsmax, Sketchup just makes me laugh. It is the most primitive 3D program around, but I guess it's good for making quick mod models.

I know how ya feel, before I'd even heard of sketchup id used autocad and solidworks a lot and when i went to try sketchup it bored me
