Remember Big Buck Bunny? The short movie that was made using Blender, an open-source modeling and rendering software? Remember how good it was? It was made using freely-available software.

The feat has been re-iterated. The Blender Foundation and its team of international artists present to us, Sintel, which you can see below (Youtube), or download here.

The plot is not extremely captivating and it’s a sad one at that, but the point of the movie was demonstrating what is capable with free software. We have independent artists producing such a high-quality movie today, without relying on big-capital Hollywood. Imagine what we’ll have in the future!

For now, enjoy Sintel and its 14-ish minutes of greatness! 🙂

Note that the movie might not be suitable to young children due to violence, blood and maybe because of the sad plot (if they manage to understand it).
