We have released our first animation title using Blender: 'KATHU 2'. It is a sequel to our earlier title Kathu which was done in Maya. Probably Kathu 2 could be the first commercial release in Blender from India with a duration of 47 minutes. It took us nearly four months to migrate from Maya in Windows to Blender in Ubuntu Studio. We had to learn Blender and train our staff. We started the project in December and finished the animation part in first week of Feb. Lighting and rendering in Full HD took some time and the product is now on shops. Though we have 10 licenses of Maya (and also Windows), Autodesk was always pushing for upgrades, costing more than Rs 10 lakhs every year. So our decision for migrating to FOSS was based purely on financial viability. But it has proved to be more than that, we had cut down the production cycle time from 8 months to 3 months and improved substantially on quality. Also the resolution is Full HD (1920x1080) now. You can see the difference in Kathu 2, compared to Kathu 1. Hibiscus primarily creates animation content for children and Kathu is a series based on values, featuring a kitten and her friends and family. We are currently working on Pupi 3, an animated popular science series. Hibiscus is better known through Manchadi, our pioneering animation series in Malayalam based on folk content. Please watch the trailers in Youtube.http://www.youtube.com/user/HIBISCUSDIGITALMEDIA Thanks in advance Madhu KS Hibiscus Digital Media +91-9447655711 Sent from BSNL with my BlackBerry® smartphone -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "സ്വതന്ത്ര വിജ്ഞാന ജനാധിപത്യ സഖ്യം പൊതുവേദി" group.
