Our local linux portal has published a great case study on how free and open source software is liberating independent animation companies like Vanguard to compete directly with the giants in America. The article also notes how award-winning 3D software, Maya, is being developed by a large pool of users developing tools and skills around the software - a version of which can be downloaded from the company, Alias’s, website here. This is great news - free animation software is a boon to energising local content development. Hopefully one day we will have our own Oscar-winning animated movies to prove it!
