“The Serial” is a low budget film produced by ” Zero Project “ dating back to 2005

The film is about a group of boys who discover a game that can kill.
In some scenes, some boys gone literally in the game.
The play area and the virtual characters were completely modeled in Blender.
Instead the animations were made in Poser, the right choice for the speed with which you can make long runs.
Once finished the movie, the studio has sought funds for distribution, but unfortunately the time passed and these funds did not arrive.
Now, Zero project  has decided to release it and I have the opportunity to correct the final scene of the explosion.
In this scene I could experience how convenient to have a compositing tool fully integrated in a suite 3d.
Prepare a tutorial on this and thanks to Zero Project perhaps there will be other surprises related to the blender and “the serial”.
Stay tuned.

Futuro?

future? is a short film of 2000 that won the 2001 edition of the

international award “tdk imageplasma hi digital animation pro”.
It’s made with poser and 3D Studio 4 for DOS.

Nathan Never

“Nathan Never” is a no profit fan-made films of 2002. It’s only a tribute to a great comic of science fiction. Still poser and 3d studio 4 for DOS. For this short-film I gave voice to all males and my wife gave voice to women. I also composed and played with my korg 01 the original music (beginning and end).

one last thing, much less professional,

Shana

it’s my first animation, dating back to 1992 and was made with 3d studio 2 for dos. I found the file “.fli” (one for each scene) 320×200 resolution with 256 colors (optimized palette) 15 frames per second (about one hour to render a frame on a 80286 with math coprocessor 12 MB of RAM  hard drive 80 MB paid £8.500.000!!!) Now I have joined the various segments and added the music (composed and produced by www.hartwigmedia.com ) for present to you.

revising them I noticed a curiosity, in the movie of 1992 you can be seen a spaceship and a brunette, with different resolution the same ship the same woman reappeared in the movie of 2002. Now in “progetto verde” still the ship but she is turning blue! I’m telling the same story since 20 years!

was the first thing that I modeled for the “progetto verde”
at this link you can follow the long gestation with all the steps, the errors and valuable tips of friends.
summarizing the important steps

First I quickly realized a sketch for the concept

Then I started modeling the main parties

Finally, I added the details and textures

Compared to concept in rendering the animal is larger and some elements of technology have been replaced but it seems that he capture the spirit.

After seeing avatar
I absolutely had to give the third dimension to “progetto verde”
I know there is a way to do it in blender
but I preferred to export the image and the z buffer from Blender and use “bas-relief”

which gives many more editing possibilities.
