[Digg.com] digg - Elephants Dream, the "Open" 3D Animated Movie Released On-line: If any of you out there have ever seen what Maxwell renderer can do (sadly, not open source), and if this were done to this movie, it would be incredible. Too bad the MPAA will probably try to win the on-line community over with some bs statement like "We support open-source and think it is great what these people have done by releasing a free movie".
[Blendernation.com] The Worlds First Open Movie Released! at BlenderNation: Rendering such a movie on film resolution is no small task: thankfully Bowie State University donated access to XSeed, their cluster of 240 Dual-core Xserves to render the movie. XSeed took over 125 days to render the movie, using up to 2.8GB of memory to render a single frame.
[I swear I'm not desperate for comments] Elephants Dream and MORE!!: It's a strange, crazy movie. It's about 11 minutes, although the last two minutes are credits, and it was created on blender, an open-source rendering application.
