After
Elephants Dream et
Big Buck Bunny,
the Blender Foundation has recently published a new open source animation made with free open source software (Blender, GIMP, Inkscape, MyPaint, Krita, OpenEXR, Python, SVN) :
Sintel !
A half year ago
the Blender Foundation has decided to create a new short animated film in order to further improve and validate the free/open source 3D creation suite Blender.
On October, 1st, 2010, Sintel has been officially published online for everyone thanks to a team of 11 artists such as David Revoy, Ben Dansie, Pablo Vazquez, etc., 3 developers and many other people trough the world.
Distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution license, I invite you to discover
Sintel via the video below.
Synopsis : A young girl, Sintel, goes on a quest around the world to find her baby dragon, called Scales, which she had nurtured back to health, after it was taken away by a bigger dragon.
You can also download
Sintel on
its official website. The film is available in various encodings, and if you wish to support the future projects of the Foundation Blender, you can buy the DVD of the film (there are bonus like commentary tracks by the creators, video tutorials, storyboards...).
See you soon for another animation.
