cgR – Episode #013 – Smelly Fruit Pt2
“…Im probably gonna say something that i will probably regret, but im gonna say it anyway…”
Hey,
So here we are with the final part of our interview/chat with Jonathan and Sintel project and the final show that has been sitting in our vault ready to be released.
Im so glad now that we have no more shows to produce and publish and we can move forward and release new shows as we make them. Especially since i have a better way of recording and I’am no longer distracted by what is going on behind the scenes. ie Levels, the mixer, the recorder etc. It really takes my eye off the ball when we are talking about stuff.
Anyway, in this episode I begin by asking Jonathan how many character/lifeforms will be in the Durian Project. How many will he be modelling etc.
I suggest an idea that would invalidate the Sintel project for being known to have been created with open-source software.
The durian blog has had many contributions of the past few months and we discuss one particular persons’ views. Juan Romero felt the original design of the Guardians wasnt as strong as it could be. Original Design
So the Durian team let the public have a crack at making it better. Nad here is his attempts / contributions.
Image 1 – Stylized
Image 2 – Realism
And we end with would Big Buck Bunny be better today with the current version of Blender and we finally talk about Blender becoming a full featured professional production worthy tool in years to come and is it a question of ‘if’ or ‘when’.
As for the plug, i forgot mine in this episode so i let you know at the beginning of the show, of a place that i think y’all should check out, if your into Maya and/or Mental Ray.
Greensoda.tv
Its a cool site made by Alex Villabon (Twitter) a cool artist and a listen of our show.
Eugene had a few blogs to promote of people talking about the industry..
CG Supervisor
FX Corner
And Jonathan obviously had the Durian Project 
So its a short show, but now we can move forward and talk about things that are currently in the news.
Look forward to making another episode. Sooner rather than later.

just my $0.02 … i think the difference with Blender and commercial DCC apps is more in line with Linux vs. commercial OS.
