Support Libre Graphics 2008!
,----[ Quote ]
| What has this got to do with Libre Graphics? Well, three of my favorite open
| source projects, Blender, The GIMP, and Inkscape, are all Libre Graphics
| projects, and they way they do what they do so well, the way that they all
| work together so well, and the way that they inspire artists and programmers
| to develop yet new forms and features of digital media represents a perfect
| microcosm of what I see happening in the enterprise every day. Or is it the
| other way around?

Free/Open-source 3D Graphics Software
,----[ Quote ]
| 3D computer graphics software refers to programs used to create 3D
| computer-generated imagery. There are typically many stages in the "pipeline"
| that studios use to create 3D objects for film and games, and this article
| only covers some of the software used. Note that most of the 3D packages have
| a very plugin-oriented architecture, and high-end plugins costing tens or
| hundreds of thousands of dollars are often used by studios. Larger studios
| usually create enormous amounts of proprietary software to run alongside
| these programs. But thankfully, there are always free/open-source software
| alternatives that can help produce highly commendable 3D animations like it
| did in the short film entitled “Elephants Dream”.
