Rainbox.WTF
Last week in France was April Fish Day! 🐟
We’ve made a little prank for the occasion with our beautiful PureWheel, but it wasn’t just a joke. We had important things to say, which you may have missed if you didn’t follow the links from the crowdfunding project. Have a look at http://rainbox.wtf to know more, including our Top 5 Of the Best (real) Crowdfunding Projects.
We also wanted you to know that the PureWheel prank was made 100% under Linux!
The Wheels are Turning
We are about to change motion forever. Starting tomorrow, a great Crowdfunding Campaign run by Rainbox.
New tools for Blender
Blender users, we’re developing add-ons for you!
We’re posting them on the Rainbox Lab. website.
Already available are DuRPresets, to import and export render settings presets, and DuBlast which quickly renders and plays your animations (known as playblasts in Maya, but better).
We have a huge list of add-ons to develop, including Duik for Blender. Stay tuned!

Duik: The Source Code Book
The source code of Duik is available as a 650-page book!
This book contains the complete source code of Duik. It’s a manifesto for open source software. It’s a way to physically show how open source software is different from other software, to show and explain how important it is, how even this small free software may weigh to change the world. All of this is briefly explained in the preface by Duduf.
