Funny and amazing Big Buck Bunny

I’ve only seen Big Buck Bunny is YouTube but I think it’s really amazing! I like the way the fluff of the bunny was shown and the smooth flight of butterfly as well. I also love the way they made the shadows and other stuff. All that was done using Blender, an open source 3D animation software.

The story of Big Buck Bunny is amusing. In the beginning you see the bunny waking up to a nice day. He really enjoys the sight of flowers and a lovely butterfly. However, three rodents try to ruin his day and all hell breaks loose. You see the bunny coming up with schemes to make sure that the three rodents would have a dose of their own medicine. Kudos goes to the team who came up with this project! From the story to the animation and music, everything went well together. Hooray for open source!

Some people think that open source software can’t really come up with something that is at par with proprietary software. Probably because of experiences with formats not being recognized by open source software due to the closed nature of other formats. However, the software by itself, as seen in this example, could be used to create something awesome. If only people would give it a try and work hard on their projects. I am sure that comparison cannot be avoided but hey look, open source software such as Blender would give individuals a shot at coming up with something great.
