Moonlight|3D program strives to become a free modern, flexible, feature-rich and extensible modelling and animation tool. Our goal is to provide a tool that is capapble of turning even the most advanced and challenging projects of artists and technical artists into reality.

We understand that this project is by its very nature a huge undertaking which takes large amounts of time and effort to get started. However, this does not scare us off.

We have chosen to make clean design, good usability and solid implementation of features our highest priority goals and we have already successfully, albeit slowly pursued that road for several years.

In order to speed up the progress of our development efforts we open up the project to the general public and we hope to attract the support of many developers and users, bringing the project forward faster.

Here are some key features of "Moonlight 3D":
plugin-based architecture
all user actions on the 3D scene remain editable
complete support for automation through python scripts
completely configurable user interface layout
basic mesh editing functionality

What's New in This Release:
New features include a batch mode for script execution without a GUI, the ability to import from and export to foreign file formats, integration of the Sunflow renderer, texturing, and GLSL support.
The GLSL editor included in Moonlight|3D allows instant preview of the shader in the 3D view.
Other new features are support for history truncation, a persistent scene element cache, support for lasso type selection in all selection tools, additional mesh tools, and loading of additional plugins from arbitrary locations.
