Online gambling site Paddy Power taking bets for racial diversity of Office 2010 advertising

msstockphotoUp and until now I’ve avoided promoting online gambling services and would discourage people from participating, but I’m making an exception for this one.

If you thought the recent Microsoft racial diversity photograph manipulation kerfuffle couldn’t get anymore ridiculous, then why not get out your wallet and bet on it.

One particularly clever gambling site, Paddy Power, is jumping on the advertising racial diversity issue by hosting a light-hearted bet on the racial mix of future Microsoft’s advertising campaigns for the upcoming Office 2010 product.

PADDY POWER PRESS RELEASE
27 AUGUST 2009. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

BOOKIES TIP 2010 OFFICE TO BE RACIALLY DIVERSE

[Dublin, Ireland] Following the recent controversy surrounding an advertisement on Microsoft’s Polish website where they superimposed the head of a white man on a Afro-American man’s body, Irish bookmaking outfit Paddy Power are taking bets on the race of those who front up Microsoft’s forthcoming major global advertising campaign for the launch of MS Office 2010.

According to Paddy Power a racially diverse mix of white, Afro-American and Asian actors/models is the most likely option and is the bookies 11/10 favourite. A white and Afro-American double act is the 9/4 second favourite with white only at 4/1 and Afro-American only at 6/1

Paddy Power said “This gaffe must have resulted in plenty of red faces in Microsoft but I’m sure that when it comes to the launch Office 2010 they will be ultra careful not be offend anyone”

Race of those who appear in MS Office 2010 global print advertising launch campaign

11/10     White, Afro-American and Asian
9/4       White and Afro-American
4/1       White only
6/1       Afro-American only
8/1       Asian only
10/1      Afro-American & Asian
12/1      White and Asian

All prices remain subject to fluctuation.

Moonlight|3D—3-D Image Modeling

www.moonlight3d.eu
This last project looks really cool and impressed me, but I’m afraid documentation is nonexistent, so hopefully some of you folks at home can help these guys out. According to the Freshmeat page:

Moonlight|3D is a modeling and animation tool for three-dimensional art. It currently supports mesh-based modeling. It’s a redesign of Moonlight Atelier, formed after Moonlight Atelier/Creator died in 1999/2000. Rendering is done through pluggable back ends. It currently supports Sunflow, with support for RenderMan and others in planning.

The Web site sheds further light on the project, which states one of its goals as: “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.”

Installation. In terms of requirements requirements, the only thing I needed to install to get Moonlight running was Java, so thankfully, the dependencies are fairly minimal. As for choices of packages at the Web site, there’s a nightly build available as a binary or the latest source code (I ran with the binary). Grab the latest, extract it to a local folder, and open a terminal in the new folder. Then, enter the command:

$ ./moonlight.sh

Provided you have everything installed, it now should start. Once you’re inside, I’m sorry, I really can’t be of much help. There are the usual windows in a 3-D editor for height, width, depth and a 3-D view, and on the left are quick selection panes for objects, such as boxes, cones, spheres and so on (actually, the pane on the left has access to just about everything you need—it’s pretty cool). Scouting about, a number of cool functions really jumped out at me, like multiple preview modes; changeable light, camera sources and positions; and most important, the ability to make your own animations. If only I could find a way to use them.

This project really does look pretty cool, and it seems to be a decent alternative to programs like Blender, but there honestly is no documentation. All links to documentation lead to a page saying the documentation doesn’t exist yet and provides a link to the on-line forums. The forums also happen to have very little that’s of use to someone without any prior knowledge of the interface, and I assume all those already on the forum are users of the original Moonlight Atelier. Nevertheless, the project does look interesting and seems to be quite stable. I look forward to seeing what happens with this project once some documentation is in place.
