Fantasy Animation Using Free Tools



Thought this might interest you for several reasons: Its got a dragon, it uses tools that could aid DIY, and Blender is an example of a project that was successfully "ransomed" as Rob Conley talks about here.
"'Sintel' is an independently produced short film, initiated by the Blender Foundation as a means to further improve and validate the free/open source 3D creation suite Blender. With initial funding provided by 1000s of donations via the internet community, it has again proven to be a viable development model for both open 3D technology as for independent animation film."
via Metafilter, with more info on the project there.

  2. I agree with Jackson. On the roleplaying side, I can see a bunch of locations, tropes and other stuff that could be borrowed.

  3. Yeah I agree, that city was amazing looking and I could easily steal some inspiration from that alone.
