Not only is A Gentlemen’s Duel one of the best 3D short we’ve ever seen, but it’s one of the funniest too. Enjoy!

Thanks Ross!

  1. While it’s “3D animation,” it isn’t correct to refer to this as a “3D short.” Unqualified “3D,” especially post-Avatar, implies that it’s stereoscopic, which this is not.

    It /is/ awesome, like all of Blur’s shorts.

    • What do you call a 3D model then? Considering you don’t see the “3D” part until you render it (If you choose to do it that way).

      • Traditionally, any animation that is not drawn if considered 3D. This was obviously made in a 3D modeling program.

    • and 3 dimensional animation has always been referred to as ’3D’. Steroscopic 3D films are the lesser known form of 3D so are referred to as ‘Stereo 3D’. I would assume ’3D short’ to be a CG animation, not stereo.
