Moonlight|3D 0.5.5 Released

oxygene2k2 writes "I just finished the release preparations for Moonlight|3D 0.5.5. "Moonlight?" you might think, taking a look at slashdot's nice search function and see that there are two articles from 2000 claiming that it's dead. It's alive again and this release was made to show this. We hope to attract both users and developers with this. Take a look at the Release Announcement for the Mailinglist, our development site and the press releases in english, german, french, italian and spanish."

Alive after two years

And here in two seconds, the slashdot effect will make sure nobody on the internet can tell the difference.

Ow, I bruised my bandwidth!

We got Blender3d now. Why revive old corpses and divide the community again?

Yeah! Who needs choice? Screw that shit!

Yes

[ekrout]

I wanted live-action, photo-realistic rendering of my friend during his football game.

So, rather than using a digital camera, I made the smart (and obvious) choice to have an art student draw some scenes onto a 3'x6' cow carcass with a palette of 16 different paints.

In hindsight, seeing how she intuitively grasped the essential elements and pared the decision tree makes me glad that I left my Canon at home!

Sheesh

[back_pages]

I have no idea what the article is about...

I read the comments... everything is either off-topic or refers to the article negatively...

I'm puzzled. What's up? Could it be that I--!! QUICK! Scroll to the top again! YES! I foolishly turned off my "michael" filter!

A quick trip to my preferences prevents this mishap in the future. Now.. must turn off third person narrative... ...

Nothing wrong with my suit

[Anonymous Coward]

Nothing wrong with my suit, my tailor made it fit perfectly, even bought the waistcoat to finish it off :)

ok i gotta go back to my editing suite and get some work done

I'm not dead yet...

[tonysee]

Moonlight|3D isn't dead, it just smells funny.

must.. avoid.. lameness.. filter...

Don't forget about "Moonlight, the flame thrower." (The kids love that one..)

What happened to your first two girlfriends?

romantic walks under the moonlight

[master_p]

Moonlight 3D is a 3D animation program which simulates a romantic walk of a geek(that's you and me) with a beautiful woman under the moonlight.

It provides:

1) pond simulation(for breaking the ice commenting on that frog you stepped on)
2) real star maps(so you can count stars while she fells asleep)
3) nice seats for sitting romantically holding hands(not to say that you're broke, of course)
4) no dangers from people with green hair(of course you have not been in the gym lately, due to that school project)

The 3d suite's previous name was 'geekdream', but the author changed it for political reasons.

checkerboards, curved mirrors

[helix_r]

If I see one more checkboard or curved mirror surface on "art" generated by a raytracing program I _will_ kill someone.

Re:Description?

[snake_dad]

And MS names are no better in terms of describing what the product is.

I respectfully disagree.

windows

• often break
• need a lot of cleaning
• are often left unlocked for easy breaking in

otoh:

• are clear and transparent
• can be armored
• are made from sand. how open can the source be?

Err.. confusing, this name stuff

Choose your battles

[Dannon]

Bah, KDE vs. Gnome? That's not a religious battle.

Vi vs. Emacs, now -that's- a religious battle! All other software-of-choice religious battles pale in comparison.

Re:checkerboards, curved mirrors

[Screaming Lunatic]

You think that just having to see the stuff is bad. I still have nightmares from the renderers/raytracers I've written. For some reason I'm in some post-apocalyptic world with checkerboard as far as the eye can see while being chased by teapots possesed by the devil.
