Most independent 3d films use LW Mmmh, where did you get that from? I think all kinds of software have been used to produce independent 3D films. Then again, I *have* used Lightwave for mine ;)

It just seems to be that way. For independent films LW just seems to be ideal price/quality wise. I can't explain it, it's just the way it is :) (of course I know a lot of people too who have done independent films with LW)

Sorry about the confusion.
I was talking about full length films... not shorts

The only indie 3D films I know are Ghost Warrior and Sky Captain...

Both made in LW

Any other full length indie 3D films out there?

Ghost Warrior is roughly 22 minutes long. Does that make it a "full length" indie CG film?

If so, what is the cut-off before a cg film becomes a short?
