| |

| | |
| '''Browse the directory above''' to find all links added before March 2008.
| |
| | |
| '''This separation was initially made to make it easier for the readers to actually find all the new additions''', but it also means that maintaining the original guide requires more attention than before.
| |
| | |
| '''With the June 2008 update the old maintainer hands over his work to the P2P Foundation''', after two years of working on the project the guide seems pretty complete in terms of what it tries to achieve, most links should be fairly up-to date, but since things are moving fast in the online media world some sites or certain software that could still be recommended only a year ago might currently not be ideal to use - sooner or later some links will need to be updated...!
| |
| | |
| Since this guide now features a larger spectrum of projects and sites than originally anticipated some categories might need to be restructured (again), some attempts have been made for the new links since March 2008, but of course this also means that the rest of the guide would need to be reworked as well...
| |
| | |
| Still, '''the P2P Audiovisual Guide should be useful for the readers the way it currently is for a while to come''' - its (current) work-in progress status maybe just reflects the exiting and fast moving changes that the democratisation of the media has to offer. '''To be continued - by anyone who wants to participate...'''

| ==== Animation ====
| |
| | |
| ===== 2D/Traditional Animation =====
| |
| | |
| [http://www.les-stooges.org/pascal/pencil/index.php?id=Home '''Pencil'''] is "'''an animation/drawing software for Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux'''. It lets you create traditional hand-drawn animation (cartoon) using both bitmap and vector graphics. Pencil is '''free and open source'''." This programme is '''easy to use''' and ideal for beginners or young people. Professionals may find it '''useful for creating animatics'''. See also the [http://www.les-stooges.org/pascal/pencil/index.php?id=UserManual User Manual]. (www.les-stooges.org)
| |
| | |
| [http://www.synfig.org/Main_Page '''Synfig'''] "'''Two-dimensional animation''' has long been the domain of proprietary software. That changes with the '''introduction of Synfig''', '''a free software/open source tool for producing feature-film quality animation''' with fewer people and resources." (www.synfig.org)
| |
| | |
| [http://ktoon.toonka.com/ '''KToon'''] is "'''a 2D Animation Toolkit''' designed by animators ([http://www.toonka.com/ Toonka Films]) for animators, '''focused to the Cartoon Industry'''. This project is '''covered by the [http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html GPL License]''' using [http://gcc.gnu.org/ G++], [http://www.opengl.org/ OpenGL] and [http://www.trolltech.com/ QT] as programming resources from [http://www.kdevelop.org/ KDevelop] as the development platform. By now, '''KToon is only available for Unix systems''' but we expect to make it works on Windows systems too someday." (ktoon.toonka.com)
| |
| | |
| ===== Computer Generated/Code Based Animation =====
| |
| | |
| [http://www.processing.org/ '''Processing'''] is an '''open source programming language and environment''' for people who want '''to program images, animation, and interactions'''. It is used by students, artists, designers, researchers, and hobbyists for learning, prototyping, and production. (...) Available for GNU/Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows." See also the [http://www.processing.org/learning/index.html Learning] resources. Worth noting is also the '''list of Related Initiatives on the main Processing page''', though not all projects listed there are open-source ones. (www.processing.org)
| |
| | |
| [http://puredata.info/ '''Pure Data'''] "PD (aka Pure Data) is a '''real-time graphical programming environment for audio, video, and graphical processing'''. (...) '''Pd is free software''' and can be downloaded either as an OS-specific package, source package, or directly from CVS." See also the [http://puredata.info/docs Pure Documentation]. (puredata.info)
| |
| | |
| ''The following free and open-source projects (previously linked in this guide) might also be of interest to animators:''
| |
| | |
| [http://www.inkscape.org/ '''Inkscape'''] ('''vector graphics editor''', www.inkscape.org), [http://www.gimp.org/ '''GIMP'''] ('''GNU Image Manipulation Program''', www.gimp.org) and [http://www.cinepaint.org/ '''The CinePaint Project'''] ('''deep paint image retouching tool''', www.cinepaint.org).
| |
| | |
| ''Animation related and project development:''
| |
| | |
| [http://www.arduino.cc/ '''Arduino'''] is "'''an open-source electronics prototyping platform''' based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. It's intended for artists, designers, hobbyists, and anyone interested in '''creating interactive objects or environments'''. (...) The microcontroller on the board is programmed using the [http://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/HomePage Arduino programming language] (based on [http://wiring.org.co/ Wiring]) and the Arduino development environment (based on [http://www.processing.org/ Processing])." (www.arduino.cc)
| |
| | |
| [http://celtx.com/ '''celtx'''] is a '''free and open source''' package for '''"media pre-production"''' ('''screenplay, storyboard, schedule''' and more). Celtx is of course '''also meant for''' traditional, '''live action film productions'''. (celtx.com)
| |
| | |
| ===== 3D Modelling/Animation =====
| |
| | |
| [http://www.wings3d.com/ '''Wings 3D'''] is '''free and open-source "subdivision modeler"'''. It is '''fairly easy to use''' (as far as this can be said about any 3D app) and might be of special interest to those '''starting with 3D modelling'''. See also the linked User Manual.
| |
| | |
| [http://www.makehuman.org/blog/index.php '''MakeHuman'''] is "completely free, innovative and professional software for the '''modelling of 3-Dimensional characters'''." While not quite feature complete yet (currently 0.9.1 RC1) MakeHuman features an '''extremely elegant, intuitive and forward-looking interface''' that could well establish a new standard in terms of user/software interaction. (www.makehuman.org)
| |
| | |
| For completion's sake the previously linked '''free and open-source''' [http://www.blender.org/ '''blender'''] needs to be mentioned in this 3D/Animation specific update. Blender is a '''high-end, state of the art modelling, animation, rendering and video post tool''' - just to mention a few of its many [http://www.blender.org/features-gallery/ '''features''']. See also the extensive online [http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Manual '''Manual'''].
| |
| | |
| ===== Animation/Open Movies =====
| |
| | |
| [http://www.bigbuckbunny.org/ '''Big Buck Bunny'''] (formerly known as the "Peach open movie project") is a '''blender made 3D short''' produced by the [http://www.blender.org/blenderorg/blender-foundation/ Blender Foundation] and was released online for free in May 2008. One of the most interesting aspects of this project is the fact that '''all production ".blend" files can also be downloaded, modified, shared etc.''' under a [http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ Creative Commons 3.0] licence. This practise is virtually non-existent in the commercial 3D animation world, for all sorts of (legal) reasons. By sharing the production files with the blender community (and by previously documenting the production process on the blog) Peach/Big Buck Bunny can safely be regarded as an "open movie", even though neither script nor the actual production was "community made" as such, instead there was an application process that allowed anyone interested to be selected for the actual Peach team. While '''the finished product is of a very high standard and can easily compete with comparable shorts from Hollywood animation studios''' in terms of its technical quality, '''the subject matter/theme''' (revenge) and the way violence is shown '''might come across as disturbing''' to some viewers since '''scenes reminiscent of torture are portrayed in a somehow peculiar easy-going/matter-of-fact kind of mixture'''. (www.bigbuckbunny.org)
| |
| | |
| [http://blendpolis-movie.de/blogen/ '''Blendpolis Movie Project'''] is "a '''community project''' with the ambition to produce an '''open movie'''. We, the members, share the passion of creating 3D art in Blender." (blendpolis-movie.de)
| |
| | |
| [http://detaillibrary.blogspot.com/ '''Detail Library'''] is "the '''first open movie project of a small group of artists, teachers and students''' (the members of this blog), reunited just for the production of it." (detaillibrary.blogspot.com)
| |
| | |
| ===== Animation/Game Development =====
| |
| | |
| [http://apricot.blender.org/ '''Apricot'''] is '''an open 3D game project''', the Blender Foundation's latest effort after Big Buck Bunny (featuring the already established characters from the movie) aimed at '''advancing and promoting blender's capabilities for game development'''. Even though blender has its own built-in Game Engine (GE),''' Apricot uses the free and open-source''' [http://www.crystalspace3d.org/main/Main_Page''' Cristal Space'''] (www.crystalspace3d.org), a "'''cross-platform software development kit for realtime 3D graphics''', with particular focus on games". (apricot.blender.org)

| |
| | |
| [http://wiki.g8tv.org/Main_Page '''G8 TV Wiki'''] "At the G8 protests 2007 in Heiligendamm, Germany and surrounding events '''we ran G8-TV to create an alternative news platform for video content'''. We decided to document how we did it, so you can set up your own Internet TV station and be the media!" (wiki.g8tv.org)
| |

| ''Community Platforms:''
| |
| | |
| [http://nativetube.magnify.net/ '''Cedar River's Native Tube'''] "'''invites all of indian country to post your Native sounds with us'''. We would like the brothers and sisters to know that '''we will promot your music at no cost to you'''. The Cedar River first Nations Community is '''a non profit organization'''." Note that while the project's host (magnify.net) [http://www.magnify.net/terms/service Terms of Use] agreement is a pretty standard commercial one, it does however say that '''"The foregoing license granted by you terminates once you remove or delete a User Submission from the Magnify Website."''' '''This is important''', not all (popular) video sharing sites let users do that - always check a sites Terms of Use agreement before uploading any work! (nativetube.magnify.net)

| == The Aim ==
| |
| | |
| This section focuses on the '''how-to and technical aspects of producing, finding and distributing audiovisual content''' using the new [http://www.p2pfoundation.net/2.1.C._The_construction_of_an_alternative_media_infrastructure autonomous media infrastructure].
| |

| |
| | |
| == The Wiki Text and The Directory ==
| |
| | |
| The '''Wiki text''' that follows tries to give the reader an overview to the the audiovisual P2P net by '''filtering''' the vast amount of available '''information''' by asking questions like '''"Is this useful, can it be recommended''' - is it somehow '''in the interest of''' either '''the majority''' of people '''or a neglected minority'''?" (Instead of being a link or site that first of all promotes the interests of e.g. a company.)
| |
| | |
| The [http://www.p2pfoundation.net/Category:Audiovisual_Subpage_3#The_Directory Directory] (entries currently listed underneath in "Articles in category 'Audiovisual'") on the other hand tries to '''collect related sites and links of all sorts''' - including commercial services - where the criterias mentioned above might or might not apply. '''Over time''' however '''a critical evaluation''' of the individual entries '''can be done'''.

| |
| | |
| == General Hint about Web Services and Software ==
| |
| | |
| Just because a web service has a pretty site or because a particular software is open-source does not mean that it is useful for everyone. Especially '''in the Web 2.0 world there seems to be a certain tendency''' - maybe out of sympathy for a P2P related project - '''to over-hype a service or a software project'''. While this Wiki tries to point in directions that hopefully are useful, '''the reader's own critical judgement is encouraged''' when exploring unknown territory or installing and using new software.
