I mean the character model. I agree, the entire production in one .blend would be unpractical, ridiculous, and it just plain wouldn't work. I was wondering if we'd be able to see the character geometry up close. That's what I was asking. @Mike: That’s not what I meant. I mean the character model.

I would think that you should pick a style and run with it, not compromise between all styles. I personally like the previous style better, but am excited to see whatever the team ends up with! ...and most importantly great improvements to Blender.

…We clearly look for a mix of genre…

* Poeple that hate Anime , will still find her too anime anyway…
* Poeple that hate Disney , will still find her too Disney anyway …
* Poeple that hate Pixar , will still find her too Pixar anyway…

Great :D I wonder where all those comments about "being too anime" come from... Animes look quite different, I'd say... Though, I'm probably not quite the expert on that topic^^ If I compare the new version with the old, I'd say, the eyes actually are a tad smaller now. Though, compared to the nose, they of course appear a lot bigger. Also, this version might even be more capable to show expressions. If I look at the unshapekeyes version of the old model, she looks a bit "cuter" and stuff, yes. But there's way less life. She rather looks like a porcelain puppet. New Sintel actually has a character, defined in her face. I really prefer the new version :) Wow! Great :D

In fact, she reminds me of some of my students (I teach English in Japan), slim nose and all. *I get a very "alien" feel (not that this is bad). The eyes seem to be an overly rotated western eye than a proper Asian eye, not that there's any one "Asian eye". From what I've seen, most Japanese eyes tend to be shaped more like a D lying on its back, and the back gently bowed out. Maybe the angle's just a little too steep... for a Japanese eye. For a person with very interesting breeding, they're probably just fine. As for complaints about being overly anime-ish: bah, her eyes aren't anywhere near that big, and I've seen plenty of shiny red hair (real and not). Great work, beautiful face. I wish I could model that well (takes me a month or two of tweaking, and I'm never happy with the result). I guess I should try harder :) Other than the eyes*, this Sintel seems quite fine to me.

I agree with eye208 and kike sanz. I think Angela nailed it the first time .. I was hoping to see an ultra-realistic Epic, in the vain of Conan the Barbarian and 300, and instead now we get anime style? Here's my main complaint: if the main character doesn't look REAL, it gives a buffer to create subpar gaming visuals throughout instead of cinematic visuals ... I've seen plenty of subpar Blender animation- definitely nothing audiences or clients would pay for, so why not go for realistic EPIC fantasy?
