Fifty Percent Grey:
"Fifty Percent Grey" nominated for the 2001 Best Animated Short Oscar.
This 3D animated short was made entirely by Ireland-based, Robinson, a 3D animator, compositor and designer using Discreet's 3ds max software and Discreet character studio software for character rigging.
"3ds max has the best polygon modeler on the market and best all-round feature set," said Ruairi Robinson, Fifty Percent Grey's creator.
This is a proof that a single artist or small team of animators with a good story idea and 3ds max can create powerful and visually impacting stories that compete with, and share company with, large animation facilities with big teams, proprietary in-house software and larger budgets.

The man behind the film was Tomek Baginski of Platige Image (Poland). A 15 months of work using Discreet 3ds max and character studio resulted in realisation of his creative vision.
