I requested that blender be put on the machines and it was installed on every machine - promise. I used blender to model our tooth character and props. Rigging and animation was done in Maya. Cool clip...it's weird to see the computer screen of me working on a character's eyeball with dramatic music on youtube. Random. Next year some of you hotshots should organize an all blender team. That would kick ass!!! I was on the USC team: The Henchmen. I requested that blender be put on the machines and it was installed on every machine - promise.

As for the software hats a good question... I did hear from a friend down at siggraph that a team did hit a little bit of trouble. He mentioned the school but for as much as I like this guy stuff he tells me always has to be taken with a grain of salt... Never know how accurate it really is . . .

I agree that picture this is another great animation though, but I'm biased in my choice... Not that this matters as far as the selection who won, but if you haven't seen team mocap's demoreel for FJORG you should check it out... http://www.wjacobgardner.com/FJORG.mov I went to school with these guys, they pretty much slept in the studio, had a bed in the back of the room… I agree that picture this is another great animation though, but I'm biased in my choice… Not that this matters as far as the selection who won, but if you haven't seen team mocap's demoreel for FJORG you should check it out…
