This short looks very interesting, and because it was created in 3D Studio Max, it piked my interest because I have some experience with the software, but nothing to the point you all have. The movie’s outdoor scenery is absolutely lush and beautiful, and looks like it must’ve taken a long, long time to render. I like the Piccolo character from what I was able to see of him and I would like to see this film when it’s available.
