Trailer For Blender Open Movie Sintel Ready
l_i_g_h_s_p_e_e_d writes "The trailer for Sintel is ready. (We discussed the beginnings of this project in 2007.) Sintel is a Blender Open Movie project created using only FLOSS software. 'For the entire creation pipeline in the studio, we will only use free/open source software. We have less than two months now to finish this completely. ... Imagine the tension that's building up here to get everything perfect. For today, we'll celebrate a big step forward.' Download here."
That's fine, I couldn't give two craps about blender, which means they've failed.
Getting the regular folks interested gets everyone else interested. They and their fanboys want to take a standoffish screw you attitude, then they'll go down wit the ship.
It's worked so well in the past.
You've just repeated the same thing. You don't have the same opinion as me therefore you're not the target audience. The only thing I've seen happen several times is you hump blender's leg in the most fanboyish way you can. Blender's goal with a tech demo is to get people interested. You've failed. Grow up, you've got a long way to go. Getting "the right" people (whatever you naively think that is) interested isn't the stage blender is at right now. Few people know about it. Wow people, and interest will pick up. Some pretty but boring demo isn't going to wow people. There are tons of videos scattered around the net where many people created technically wonderful but lacking in content videos. Where are they now?
I perfectly comprehend your motive. You're a blender apologist desperate to try and spin a lackluster tech demo into some kind of win and won't stop at anything to do it. You're putting a terrific face on blender. Where I was more or less neutral to blender before, I would actively recommend to the people I know who do make animation to stay away from blender because their community obviously either attracts or creates childish prick apologists who don't know the first thing about promotion. Don't worry, I'm sure you can spin that into a win too.
