This week’s ep we dedicate to a 3D animation by a French student collective made in their final year of studies, streamed through  @TheRookiesCo  channel. It is not technically machinima as its made using traditional animation tools but nonetheless we absolutely loved it – and its a recommendation by one of our channel’s regular followers @3dchick. The film is a post-apocaylptic robot tale, inspired by Zaha Hadid’s architectonic style.
