I don't know if anybody has seen any of this, but there's a cool animated short out called The Chubb Chubbs

No, not Lightwave....Maya


For Lightwave there's a plug-in for instancing that looks pretty sweet called HD Instance. There's an article by Tim Albee in Issue 31 of Keyframe Magazine covering it (you have to check out the cover)
It's made by http://www.happy-digital.com
Check there screen shots and demo version

I read an interview with its makers, and then I saw it on the MIB II DVD. Very well done, I liked it!

These guys have very cool plugins, free ones too.
I never saw this one though.
It looks good, too bad I didn't know about it during my earlier challenge entery, it would have saved me lots of time.
(If it was out back then.)
