This little vid is a testament to the power of Youtube and the Internet in general. In the past, a work like this might only have been seen in a local gallery or at a student’s final project show. Thanks to Youtube and other like video services, student artists can distribute their works to a larger audience.

I’m currently working on a project exploring 3d modeling as open source content for a class at Berkeley’s iSchool. As you might imagine, sharing 3d models is not simple task (think about how hard it can be to share text documents). We’ve identified venues like Youtube as gateways into open source like communities, where artists can display their works to gain recognition, but also where modelers & artists can meet up to share techniques and skills with each other.

Don’t look too deep for a meaning in this vid, just enjoy some great work:
