We are glad to be able to announce, that the first beta version of BORG v0.5.00 will be released on Monday, the 14th of October 2002.
You can download the beta version here on our website.
This beta will be a very early test version, whether does it contain all necessary features, nor is it supposed to work in its full quality.
We will not release the version v0.5.00 to the open source community as we considered once, however, there will always be a free version available. For more information on this, please be patient.
Would you like to become a betatester for BORG? If so, please write an email to .
Your BORG developer team.

To better suit the upcoming release and development processes the homepage has been completely restructured and -designed.
Yet most content referes to the upcoming version.
With support of additional renderer the name BORG - BMRT Ordinary Rendering GUI doesn't apply to the new purpose anymore. Therefore we came up with a new spelling:
BORG - BORG Open Rendering GUI.
The new version includes many changes and comes up with new features.
- besides the BMRT support of Rdc and 3Delight as the first of many RenderMan compliant renderer we plan to support
- still splitting
- new design
Another major change will affect the license model because version 0.5.00 will be released under the GNU puplic license (GPL). For this purpose a developer homepage will be published.
Within the next two weeks we will also publish a roadmap of the future BORG developement.
Besides this we also started our own company.
More details will be published in the roadmap.
Your BORG developer team.

The homepage has been updated to present features of the new version 0.5.00 (codename locutus). We have also added the links and gallery sites. The registration form has been eliminated - it was useless anyway. Should you have any suggestions how to improve BORG it would be a good time now to let us know because we are still programing on most parts of the software, so additional things can be easier implemented now.

We are sorry to announce that the release of the new version 0.5.00 (codename locutus) of BORG will move a little into the future.
There are several reasons for this, but basically we just don't have the time to work on BORG everyday (which we would like), so we expect that it will take at least two more months till the release version will be finished.
The new version includes many structural changes, effecting the GUI as well as internal mechanisms and functionality. We have also updated to the JAVA 1.3 platform, which means that you need to update to this platform in order to use the software.
