| This eye-catching, remarkably vivid demo video shows off a Linux SL viewer

Blender 2.48: It isn't all about play
,----[ Quote ]
| Blender 2.48 is the latest version of the the open source Blender 3D suite to
| be released by the Blender Foundation. The suite is designed to allow users
| to model, render and animate 3D scenes. Blender also offers a game design
| mode and fuelled by the development of the Yo Frankie game, most of the
| changes in the present revision affect the game engine. Blender updates are
| often driven by particular projects; most of Blender 2.46's new features were
| also driven by the needs of the 3D short animation Big Buck Bunny.

Blender Game Engine Tech Demo
,----[ Quote ]
| For several months the Blender and Crystal Space projects have been working
| together to develop an open-source game they hope will be of a professional
| quality and deliver an industry standard 3D gaming experience. This game, now
| called Yo Frankie, was supposed to be released at the end of August, but that
| deadline wasn't met. However, released now is the first technology demo for
| the Blender Game Engine. This tech demo is playable and includes a small
| level from Yo Frankie, but to be released soon will be a more game-oriented
| demo that includes additional characteristics and game-play options.

Big Buck Bunny builds a better Blender
,----[ Quote ]
| Big Buck Bunny is the colorful product of the Peach open movie project: an
| animated short released online and on DVD. But in addition to the 'toon
| itself, Peach has produced an altogether different yield: improvements to the
| Blender 3-D modeling application. Like its predecessor Project Orange, Peach
| pushed the open source tool forward with the demands of a real-world media
| production, in a way that hobbyist usage cannot. Could other free software
| projects use the same model?
