Moonlight|3D 0.5.5 Released

"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."

    Is this another 3D suite?

    Should've been from the highly irrelevant-dept I think, especially considering that Blender has now been Open-Sourced! [U.S. Mirror | Dutch Mirror]

  3. Blender! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Blender http://www.blender.org is now open source. Doesn't it do what moonlight did but Blender is much better?

  4. Do we really need another 3D suit? by Gyorg_Lavode · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Do we really need another 3D suit? For those who don't want to pay for their 3D suit or want to feel good about using an open source 3D suit there's Blender. For those who actually need to model professionally theres Softimage and Maya. While it is noble to undertake writing a 3D suit, is it prudent to attempt to rewrite something that had already been written by 1999? To work on a project that is leagues behind the professional suits and that for all intents and purposes will most likely never be used in a professional setting?

  5. I need this by kenp2002 · · Score: 1, Redundant

    I simply need a modelling tool that lets me build counter-stike and quake 3 maps that is as easy to use as the old Duke Nukem 3D mapping tool. Why do we need yet another Lightwave/3DSMax/Maya/Bryce/Blender/Easy3D/blah/bl ah God bless the open source comunity to reinvent the wheel... again... Good luck! Now if someone could just make these apps easier to use then I'd care...
