"Back To Gaya" - 1st German Full-CGI Feature! - nobbie - 03-11-2004
Germany finally has its own fully animated CGI feature a la "Toy Story", "Shrek" etc. It's called "Back To Gaya" and will be shown in theatres starting March 18, 2004.
For more informations, check out these links (German language):

There are also lots of links in other languages like English, just do a web search for your country.
This, by the way, is what Google was asking me when I tried to find out if 3ds max was used for this CG animation fim:
Google-Gaya!
(the German "Meinten Sie: ..." means "Did you mean to search for: ..." under the English version of Google)
For non-insiders: The 3D modeling and animation program 3ds max - although extensively used as game creation tool (i.e. Diablo 2, Warcraft 3 etc.) in the past years - was never really accepted as professional film creation 3D tool, which is always a hot debate among the 3D fans :)
