| Posted by Mehreen Bazm on Thursday, May 28th, 2009 |
The Blender Foundation has made an open call for portfolios and applications for their next Open Movie project "Durian", which will be directed by SCAD student Colin Levy. They are seeking 4-6 artists who will reside in Amsterdam and work full time on the project. The project duration is estimated to be six to eight months, from September until April 2010. From their website: Our preference is to find multi-talented people with a wide range of skills in several areas, but especially • Modeling/sculpting • Rigging • Animation • Texture and 2D art • Lighting / Rendering • Compositing • Graphics design (print, web, DVD interface) Software Proficiency: The primary programs for the project will be Blender for 3D (modeling, sculpting, animation, rendering, compositing, video editing) and GIMP or Inkscape for 2D, in a Linux environment. Additional open source software will be decided on at a later date. Aim is that all software tools as used in the studio will be open source. Artists are expected to have a good working knowledge of the programs used - enough to hit the ground running, since the time-line for the project is so short. Submit online by June 10!
