Tears of Steel - created using Blender 3D software.

A new film program created with Blender 3D.

The movie it's an project funding by Blender Foundation, Netherlands Film Fund, Cinegrid Amsterdam

You can read more about this project here.

Only 34 euro ... see the content of the first DVD here.

Some small problems seem to be for some users.

The team tell us: DVD Sponsors

As usual we will organize a DVD pre-sale campaign, giving everyone the opportunity to get their name mentioned in the main film credit scroll (for those who purchase and pay before the project starts) or in the a special DVD credits scroll (for those who purchase and pay before the film premiere).

Past experience has taught us that such credit is being perceived as very valuable, we will make more efforts to ensure we don’t miss a name this time!

... and the users reply:

Hey guys, I bought two DVD’s and can’t find my name anywhere. Any help?

• skeletal animations via raft's Bones API
• shader support via GLSL for OpenGL ES 2.0
• vertex, ambient, diffuse and specular lighting
• build-in primitives like cones, cubes, spheres...
• render to texture
• texture compression
• collision detection (ray-polygon, sphere-polygon and ellipsoid-polygon)
• generates vertex-, face- and tangent normals automatically
• pixel perfect, geometry based picking
• transparency and fog effects

Tips and tricks: use your tablet to see webgl output.

One big problem it's the result of WebGL output.
You have an old pc and also you want to make WebGL stuff.
Also, you have one big problem and this is about your video card and browser.
And this problem it's:... don't want to show the result of your WebGL.
The solution is your tablet.
Many tablets have a good video card also you can use firefox web browser.
I try this demos and all working fine.
My tablet has a MALI GPU with 400 Mhz with 2D, 3D processor.
If you have ideas about how to use tablets to solve things, just send or comment here.
