Just f…..g W0W! That realism is comparable to Final Fantasy VII:Advent Children. It blows me away how easily their fur is rendered. Even Square Soft/Enix/Pictures had trouble generating Red XIII’s fur.
I’d be having your babies if I wasn’t a chappie.
Excellent detail and lifelike scenes. Peach has far exceeded what I first assumed, and all of this using Free Software? Astounding.
The only drawback I’m not too keen on with this project – are its critics.
(I still like to hear what everyone has to say though.)
I would have to say that the characters aren’t that well developed. The bunny looks more like a guy in a rabbit suit and I simply don’t like Rinky, he looks weird. The quality of the animation is OK, but quite a distance from Pixar-like quality, I’m afraid. Also, I find the scenes look a little ‘dead’ with nothing moving, no twitching of grass or the blowing of leaves in the wind and no insects and burds buzzing about. The lack of voice characterization also makes the movie not as good as could have been. I personally think that ‘Elephant’s Dream’ looked much nicer, although the story was completely lacking. Again, the soundtrack is truly amazing, top notch!
Please don’t be put off by my comments, see it as constructive criticism. Due to the limited budget, resources and time contraints no one expected BBB to be as good as commercial offerings, but the result is still very good.
I hope that Warner Bros won’t sue over the Big Buck Bunny name as it’s very resembles their trademarked Bugs Bunny.
I hope you did solve the legality of this issue.
I disagree. the scenes did not look dead at all to me. I could see small movements. Try watching it in HD on a 32″ LCD TV with 5.1 surround like I did then repost your comments. It was just awesome!
to the guy that craps trailers:
ouch! Hey have you not posted that comment before? I remember a guy who crapped things and I think it was you :)
Maxim:
I would not think that would ever be an issue.
I was looking and BBB generated lots of posts at cgtalk :)
@ccherrett: well olaf is right, its not Pixar like quality but thats not the point here because Pixar simply has everything, they dont have hardware limitations like Peach and much more manpower and also the best artists they can get.
Its no shame not to reach Pixar quality (also i think no one in the team studied 24/7 living animals for the animations) and i think the Peach team is aware of this but hey, in my opinion it looks better then Dreamworks Animations and we dont want to forget that this projects goal is not to steal the crown form pixar but to show the potential of open source and that Blender it is a choise for artists and also the development of Blender. These Projects are simply what pushes Blender into new levels. Also this project is also an absolutly stunning showcase for all the people who worked on it.
^_^ Not everything is a peace of cake in Pixar; they also have limitations.
It’s true they have allot more manpower (I’ve count more or less 50 persons in the credits of the new short Lifted), but Peach Team also has the best blender artists and besaids some issues in the render farm I think they also aren’t limited by the hardware :P
Peach team isn’t competing with Pixar
…they are competing with TIME ;)
the trailer looks great! i have a question though. what do the rodents throw at the big bunny? it looks like an untextured white nut? :) or is it an egg or a golf ball?
first off id like to say Awesome job!!!! I got one of the 1080 versions and it looks like there is virtually no bumpy textures… was this intentional for the look?
i’ve been keeping track of this from the start.. its nice to finally get a look at footage from the movie.. I also noticed yet another fantastically done soundtrack from the world of open movies. IT’s perfect!
Everyone would agree that Blender is truly coming of age with this production. It’s attracting a *huge* following and inspiring a large number of future artists and professionals. I’m still amazed sometimes what you can do with Blender, it literally turns dreams into reality!

I imagined that the story would be that eating human food made them fat. Guess I was wrong.
It looks great! Do I hear the name Oscar? ;-)

Wow.

Are you going to give out some 35mm trailers which supportive cinemas could show?

I really love the soundtrack. Truly professional quality!
March 23rd, 2008 at 5:40 am
Also, has anyone noticed the rabbit looks somewhat like Ton? Or is it just me? ;)

This number of comments over such a small length of time is stupendous. Perhaps this project is worth its sand.
March 24th, 2008 at 2:47 pm
I agree with Mirai. The number of comments over the trailer is a sign of something especial. Also, great comment by Olaf. Things can only get better.

Can we really do this with blender?
Enrico, you HAVE to make some tutorials about the environment!
This is vital… and so beautiful!

Great, Very good job, you’r the best.
buenísimo, vamos para adelante con el software libre.
April 17th, 2008 at 5:28 pm
The first scene with the white rabbit looks very empty. Just a grassy background. Looks like a test scene or something.
Love the splat in the end with the butterfly though :)
April 23rd, 2008 at 10:09 pm
Does it need anymore comments?
I’m really amazed that this is made with open-source tools…shit,i can’t even draw a cube in blender=))
But you prove it that Open Source is Simply Astonishing!I’d really buy 3-4 DVD’s if they appear in Romania :-X
Keep up the good work ;-)
P.S.:I love it!It reminds me of Ice Age 8->
May 14th, 2008 at 11:34 am
Good job guys. The trailer is very well done, I’m waiting the movie now… :)
