Aqsis Movie Project

Bit of shameless promotion. The AMP is a project to produce a completely CG animated short using just Open Source applications. Centered around Aqsis as the rendering solution, we will be working with many different OS projects to prove that it is possible to create professional quality results with OS tools.

Despite the use of the name Aqsis in this project, I am not heading this effort. I am taking part, but as a technical lead only. The guts of the project is driven by "Igor Sandman", the director/writer.

The project is currently looking for contributors, so pop in and have a look around.

Introductory post

Just something simple to get things going.

About Me: Paul Gregory, UK based
I have a passion about all things related to photorealistic CG, in particular Renderman.
I run an Open Source Renderman project called Aqsis

Why Blog: I feel there is a dearth of information on the Web related to the real use of Renderman, especially outside the big production houses, I want to address that. I'll be posting findings, hints, tips, and 'stuff' about my experiences creating, using and promoting Aqsis as a real option for Renderman based animation.

More soon...
