Watching the Pixar short film collection got me into 3d, and although avatar was all super hyped up on it's graphical achievement, I still thought that district 9's cg was better. I actually thought it was a better movie altogether :)

9 days to go...So who's in? I'm planning on working on my chops as an environment concept artist for the contest, but it might be fun to team up with some modelers. Warning: my environments suk. :p Send me a PM if you're interested
