Hey Ben, thanks for sharing this, great to see some of the Durian stuff out.

The textures are not packed into this file. Sintel is invisible when the files loads and she looks funny when rendered. I downloaded from the other links at sintel.org and they work fine. (.zip and .7z comes with the external textures) Could you re-upload with the textures packed into the blend?

Argh! 650 downloads before someone noticed! Thanks David. I could have sworn that it was the exact .blend (packed) that was in the zip/7z files.

I'll have to post it again soon, but at work now. Given the interest in the file (going by the number of downloads) it will be worth updating the python script for the rig and a few other things while I'm at it. Hopefully I can give a link to the textures only before the end of the day because that's less than 3mb on it's own anyway.

Apologies to those who downloaded without them.

http://cdupload.com/files/164326_afujl/sintel_lite_textures.zip - about 1mb

This zip file contains the textures needed to use/render Sintel Lite. Extract to the same folder as the .blend and it should automatically create a folder called 'textures' with all the image files in it. All should work as normal from there.

Thanks..!!! I have bought the DVD, but the files are so big!! I trust to be able to make finally, the tests with YafaRay. (Sorry for my English)

Thank you, this is a wonderful gift to the Blender community.

thank you so much for this , looking forward to se the dragon character I really want to see its structure :)

I'm so glad that the featured model header for this was updated. Previously it looked a little too risque...

Thx man! I learn a lot with this files!

very good character

Great sharing Ben :)

hey i have registrated me today but now when i will download it i become i new window with many numbers and symbols. i have a iMac is this website just for windows?? thanks, modesigne

Modesigne, the numbers and symbols you see are the actual .blend-file. Rather than clicking on the download button, you should right-click and "Download Linked File As...", then save it somewhere on your harddisk :-)

Im using 2.56 - some of the bones do not do anything (eyebrows) and some simply do not move at all (cheeks/jaw/lips...) Any help?

Ah, nevermind, they do work, i just had to figure them out ;) sorryz

If you compress the 26m file into a 7z archive it results into a 5mb archive , very good work but I have problems opening this file in blender 2.49

Hi Marcos, I sort of assumed people would know but this file will not work with 2.49 because it is a 2.5 file. Most 2.5 files wont work in 2.49. I do have .zip and .7zip files available elsewhere but blendswap asks for .blends to keep things simple.

As a reminder I do plan to update the file for 2.57 but not backwards for 2.49. Too much effort and most of the rig wouldn't work the same anyway.

Cheers, Ben.

Hey, I don't know but the file won't open. It just keeps loading, loading, and nothing happen.

Hi Alexandre - not sure what is going on specifically, but planning to update the file for 2.57b before the week is out. This download is for Blender 2.56 trunk, nothing more or less recent.

Cheers, Ben.

Thanks a lot! Fantastic job!

Is the download Link broken? It's only 10 MB and not 25. And it does not decompress, it gives me an Error.

Greetings, Ingo

If you check out our twitter feed, we're having issues with the .gz wrapper, we're working on it. Will hopefully have it fixed today. This model should work fine now. Thanks for letting us know it didn't work.

Thank you. Now it works to load in Blender 2.49b (Linux), but seem's to be distorted a bit etc.

If i try to load it in Blender 2.57.1 (Linux), it crashes Blender :( .

Greetings, Ingo

@Ingo, this file is now outdated. It is for Blender 2.56 official release only. There is a more up to date version for the official release of 2.57b on Blendswap, but we aren't allowed to update individual files, just post new ones. Search for 'sintel' on the site and its pretty easy to find.

Pleasantly surprised it works somewhat in 2.49, never tried.

Also, there were some reports of this particular file crashing on certain Linux machines, probably due to an opengl bug that has since been fixed in 2.57b and that hasn't been an issue using the updated Sintel Lite file.

do i have to pay for it ?????

lol, opening this crashed blender on my system :) LOL

Thanks for sharing. This Sintel model is well made with nice topology. Great job. 9/10

Sorry for such a noob question. But is this model low poly?

wow awesome

pardon mais comment on fait pour le télécharger s'il vous plaît ? merci :)

I downloaded this and im going to learn the topology to make my own full character.

Thanks BenDansie for this great share

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=9i9NNMWVbSk is where you find Sintel put to great use

thanks for you share. great!

I love this character, it's beautiful ..! good job :)

Help.. what are blend tags? i upload a model and says need blend tags thx

cder

awesome, i use this alot for animation practice

Thanks all again for the comments.

Would people who haven't found it yet be interested in a Cycles version?

http://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?206875-Sintel-Lite-Cycles-version-for-2.61-available/page8

I had a quick test of the Cycles version in a recent build and it seems like other than some issues with the new compositor it still works fine in 2.63+ but it is probably worth waiting for 2.64 before tweaking. New compositor seems to have some expected growing pains first.

Anyway, it is that sort of little thing that is stopping me from making a more public Sintel Cycles version here. Probably time for a double check on the proxy mesh, grouping and so on. Also, the hair is now static. I could try a quick hair rig for the meshes I guess.

Wonderfull! I start to believe my dreams about 3D applications will come true! Thanks

thanks;D

thanks a lot for sharing!!!

of course!! sintel!! just great :)

Thanx....

Thanks for sharing. You are great.

thanks will try this...

Very nice... thanks!

cool! thanks :D

Sintel!!!!

thanks it look cool

thank you..:)

When I open the .blend and press render immediately, both the skin and the eyes appear grey, why is that?

Ported the full Sintel model on the DVD to cycles materials if anyone's interested :) http://www.blendswap.com/blends/characters/sintel-cycles/
