Hi,
This is a link to a short animation I’ve just finished based on the Hobbit
Living in Wellington NZ it had been a frustrating time with The Hobbit film proper continually going off the rails. When del Toro left the project I thought the only way I'd get to see it was if I made it myself
Ironically just as I finished this short sequence the film got the green light for production
The Youtube link is here – it was rendered in HD though their compression has introduced a few artefacts (as usual)

It's very short - but then so are hobbits Don’t blink or you’ll miss it
It was produced in Vue 7.4 and I used Poser for the running figures and I modelled the watchtower and the dragon (A friend of mine saw it and thought it was a snake!) in Hexagon, and composed the music in Cakewalk Sonar
