The forums show a new release every few days, ranging from skits and startlingly edgy short films to Ren & Stimpy crossover episodes. People do still make movies in 3D Movie Maker (and the spin-off Nickelodeon 3D Movie Maker), mind. For example, open engine source code is why these days fan-modified Doom engines can support everything from modern screen resolutions and more-complex mods to full-on raytracing. And then, maybe-hopefully-people might be able to expand games with new features. The first hope with source code releases is that fans will be able to update the engine so software can easily run on modern systems without faff, workarounds, and weird fixes. Lacking source code, a group of fans have been working on reverse-engineering Carmageddon for years. Turing also noted they reached out to THQ Nordic, Carmageddon's current owners, hoping code for the murderous racing series might follow now that BRender is open. Turing's personal wiki has more info on different versions, documentation, and such. So! You can now download the 3D Movie Maker source code, as well as source for several other versions of BRender: the 1995 DOS version used by Privateer 2, the 1997 version used in Croc, another 1997 version, and a 1998 version. Well! Turns out, a few folks had BRender source for one reason or another, and after some wrangling and tidying, Foone has released source for several versions, with even Microsoft officially joining in. The former CEO of Argonaut, Jez San, saw this tweet and responded saying he held the rights to the engine and was happy to open it but didn't have a copy of the source. In April, Turing bugged Microsoft on Twitter to give them the source code for 3D Movie Maker, laying out their hopes to update and update it. Now, thanks to the advocacy of Foone Turing, source code for several versions is publicly available. Created by Argonaut in the 90s, the BRender 3D engine was used both in their own games and licensed to other developers.
