Big Buck Bunny is the colorful product of the
Peach
open movie project: an animated short released online and on DVD. But
in addition to the 'toon itself, Peach has produced an altogether
different yield: improvements to the
Blender 3-D modeling application. Like its predecessor
Project Orange,
Peach pushed the open source tool forward with the demands of a
real-world media production, in a way that hobbyist usage cannot.
