First of all, thanks a lot to all who've supported "Vetri"!!! With nearly 2000 views in 2 weeks and a feature on BlenderNation and BURP Renderfarm, I feel it's my best achievement so far in terms of filmmaking.
So I feel it's time to start giving back. Now you can create your own version of Vetri! I've provided for free download most of the sets used in the making of the film. You also get chairs, tables, shelves and a variety of trees if you don't prefer to use the sets. And best of all, it's free to use in your own films, games, posters, etc, even commercially if you wanted to. Just give me a shoutout somewhere in the credits and/or description and it's all good!
Here is the link to all the assets, scripts and final animatic:

You will need the free Blender software which can be downloaded here. Blender is a 3D animation software package that allows you to model, animate, texture, composite, render and create games all in the one software. You'll also need to register and create an account with BlendSwap. Here is the registration page. You can also download a ton of other free 3D models and scene with BlendSwap.
If you wish to transfer the sets to a 3D software you're more comfortable with, there are tons of guides on the internet that show how to do this. To be honest, I'm not entirely sure that exact way to do this but here are some guides that may help:
Some sets couldn't be added due to copyright issues and most of the provided sets don't have all the textures. Also some textures couldn't be included either since they were obtained from CGTextures.com. If you wish to recreate the scene to render exactly as seen in the film, I've provided instructions on the exact textures inside the Blend files.
I also couldn't provide the characters since I didn't create them myself. I used the CGCookie Flex Rig to generate all the characters. This allows you to create as many variations of characters as you like and since it was created within Blender, it automatically comes rigged and ready to animate!
Enjoy!
