Looks Very nice... i am not sure if animators are allowed to use any other software other than 3d Studio Max. if yes, was the character completed using Poser?... the character is very well defined and looks creative...

Yeah I believe it was with Max - but I'll ask him. I think he just made small modifications to the original Indian. Also added in the grass that we had for 2004 but didn't use.

I thought the animation had to be completed in a certain time frame, like the robot.

Thats true because you can't really complete the animation until the game has been announced. Right now they are just trying to get the Indian looking as good as they can because the Indian itself just takes so long.

Animators can use whatever software they want, but they're encouraged to use 3D Studio Max.

I can't find that in the rules (for last year of course, they may change this year). The closest I've found is this:
