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

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!

checkerboards, curved mirrors

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