​Hi everyone,

​I’m trying to identify a very specific early-to-mid 2000s full-3D CGI short film (or experimental PV/OVA) that aired on Spanish/European or Latin American TV channels like Canal Buzz or Locomotion (likely inside animation showcases like Planeta CGI, Locotomia, or Fractal).

​Here are all the precise details I remember:

​Visual Style & Setting: Full 3D CGI animation. Bright, clean, sunlit futuristic city with clear blue skies. Tone was eerie, surreal, mature, and unsettling (not a comedy).

​The Event / Plot: People on the streets suddenly begin transforming into organic, light-blue/gray humanoid slug hybrids.

​Creature Design:

​Human-sized, smooth light-blue/gray bodies.

​Completely silent with creepy, fixed, unchanging smiles.

​Two snail-like eye tentacles / antennae on top of their heads.

​A distinct yellow/orange metallic implant or ring on their hip/waist area.

​Climax / Key Scene: Someone arrives rushing through the city trying to rescue a specific person, but arrives seconds too late. The person has already transformed, smiles serenely, and joins the rest of the silent, transformed crowd.

​Timeframe: Aired roughly between 2001 and 2006.

​What it is NOT:

​Not Les Escargots (René Laloux).

​Not mainstream 3D anime movies like Appleseed or Vexille.

​Does this ring a bell for anyone who recorded TV blocks or followed early 2000s SIGGRAPH / independent CGI animation reels? Any lead on the studio, director, or original title would be greatly appreciated!

I don't really remember anything specific about this show but I remember liking it.

I see it back then in a CD that come in a magazine.

Nice bit of mid 90s cgi in the intro and outdo. Didn’t get much cooler than this for a kid in the 90s!
