Plumiferos - an open-source cartoon

In 2005, long before the release of Elephants Dream and Big Buck Bunny , a cartoon called Plumiferos (free birds) was announced at the next Blender conference.

Unlike the other two projects mentioned above, Plumiferos is not sponsored by the Blender Foundation; moreover, it is not being created in Holland. and in Argentina.

The duration of the cartoon is about 75 minutes, there is a healthy traceable plot, the quality of the animation is at the level (although it looks worse than the projects supported by Blender).




The content of the cartoon is about life right above us. The main character, the Feyfi bird, is set free and learns a lot about the hard life of free birds.

Since its duration exceeds ED and BBB by more than 7 times, then the development time is longer, namely, the cartoon is being developed to this day! That is already 3.5 years.

And, unfortunately, in all this lies the catch: the project ... commercial.

The pofigist logic of the creators who plan to first complete the work on the cartoon and then enter into a contract with Sony Pictures is completely incomprehensible (by the way, Sony Pictures have already used Blender to pre-render 3D scenes in Spiderman 2).

And yet, the project is already good because its members have added new features to Blender; that the whole cartoon was made using only OpenSource software.

The premiere will be in 2008.
