Open Source On the Big Screen

Posted by kdawson on from the ebb-and-flow dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Following the success of Elephants Dream, the Blender Foundation is developing a follow-on open movie called Peach, set for completion later this year. Computerworld has up an interesting interview with Matt Ebb, lead artist from Elephants Dream (the interview is split over 5 pages). Ebb talks about the making of the world's first open movie and offers some advice to others wanting to start such a project."

    Thanks so much for the youtube link. I had wanted to see the Elephants Dream since it was released but was unwilling to pay for the DVD or download it. What a horribly boring short film...

    Oh well, supposedly Blender is completely redoing its godawful UI for 2.5 (I say as I put on my asbestos underwear) ... and can then get to work adding functionality to the renderer to make it competitive with, say, 3D Studio Max R3.
