Orange

I don't know why, but I just just love this character. I've seen some other shots and animations of him and he's got such a strong sense of weight and emotion. Maybe it's just cause he looks like the doctor from Space: 1999. Who knows?

This is from the Blender Orange project. What they did was get a bunch of funding, hire a bunch of animators (modelers, texture guys, sound folk, scriptwriters, etc.) and said "Make a movie with Blender. If you need it to do anything it doesn't do yet, we'll write it for you." And away they went. Now they will be releasing this industrial strength code to the public next month, and the short that they made will be on DVD. Not only the short, but also all of the source files that made the movie! Imagine if when you bought The Incredibles you also got all of the models, textures, and lighting setups? Huzzah!
