History of BRL‑CAD

In 1979, the U.S. Army Ballistic Research Laboratory (BRL) – now the United States Army Research Laboratory – expressed a need for tools that could assist with the computer simulation and engineering analysis of combat vehicle systems and environments. When no CAD package was found to be adequate for this purpose, BRL software developers – led by Mike Muuss – began assembling a suite of utilities capable of interactively displaying, editing, and interrogating geometric models. This suite became known as BRL-CAD. Development on BRL-CAD as a package subsequently began in 1983; the first public release was made in 1984. BRL-CAD became an open-source project on December, 2004. The BRL-CAD source code repository is believed to be the oldest public version-controlled codebase in the world that's still under active development, dating back to 1983-12-16 00:10:31 UTC.

Documenting Redux

Jennifer (played by Jennifer Lawrence) is a 27-year-old woman who's struggling to find her place in the world. She's recently gone through a breakup and is feeling lost and uncertain about her future. When she's hired by Leo's (played by Andrew Barth Feldman) mother to look after him, she's hesitant at first. However, as she spends more time with Leo, a awkward and charming 30-year-old man with the emotional maturity of a teenager, she finds herself drawn to his quirky personality.

If you enjoy movies like "The Big Sick," "Little Miss Sunshine," or "Lady Bird," you'll love "No Hard Feelings." So grab some popcorn, get cozy, and enjoy this laugh-out-loud and tear-jerking ride with dual audio!

One of the best features of "No Hard Feelings" is its dual audio option. This allows viewers to watch the movie with two different audio tracks: one in the original English language, and another in a dubbed language of their choice. This feature is especially useful for viewers who prefer to watch movies in their native language or for those who want to practice their listening skills in a different language.

BRL‑CAD Logo Competition!

The BRL-CAD open source project is interested in a new logo so we're holding a competition for inspiring ideas from the community! You have the chance to win cold cash, make friends, and obtain world-wide notoriety.There are cash prizes for first, second, and third place selections plus an optional bonus. Winning selections will be announced by August 15th. Pen and paper work just fine. Scan it in and e-mail it. You're welcome to use any tools or software to design the logo. That said, you can double your prize amount IF (and only if) you design a selected logo only using BRL-CAD tools. See here for an example of what I mean. If you're going for the bonus, submit a ".g" geometry file in addition to any image file(s) you provide. In case you're wondering, shoving an image into a .g doesn't count! With our steep learning curve, though, it's definitely not for pansies nor recommended if you're a newbie. The bonus is just for the added awesome factor. The BRL-CAD "mascot" is a moose. Feel free to incorporate that into your design or come up with something more abstract. Other keywords relevant to our project domain are listed in this file.
