Luster Beta Has Arrived

Posted by choof on May 30th, 2009

Hey Juicers, how have you been? I haven’t been around much lately, I’ll be better I promise.

I wanted to let everyone know that you can finally get Luster installed on your Windows machine and start playing around with some demos. Head on over to the Luster Beta Sign-up page to get started. After you have signed up, we need to activate your account. Once that happens, you’ll receive an email with instructions and more details about the whole shabang.

There’s some basic tech demos available online right now, but we have some sweeter demos that will trickle out over the next week or two, including one of the music visualizers. You should definitely check out the Arthas Dance Animation, it’s pretty cool. It uses somewhat advanced lighting techniques, so if you have an older video card it may not look as great as it should. But that’s what this beta thing is all about, figuring out these little details, right?

I leave you with a video of the Arthas animation. Major props to Chris for making this happen.

    Nice stuff guys.

    Please try this out- it would really help us to see who can support Luster and whatnot if others were installing it and trying to run this demo.

    Thanks Juicers!

    I asked this to Beej on GTalk, but just in case he sees this here first or if Colin and/or Choof would want to answer but:

    Are there any particular Windows platforms/setups/browser configs you guys are looking to test with? The reason I ask is I have a pretty robust testing environment that I could use to give Luster a good run through its paces. Just shoot me an email.

    Yeah give it a try everyone (who has windows…). Don’t worry, we’re working on the mac version.

    We want to get an idea the kinds of hardware setups we will run into. Especially video cards. This usually means VMs are not going to work well (bootcamp will work fine though).
