# GPL release of OpenFX *2001-02-10 — note* Slashdot covers the GPL release of [OpenFX](http://openfx.org), which I worked on with Stuart Ferguson (my brother's PhD supervisor in Queen's University Belfast). > It has a renderer and raytrace engine, NURBS support, kinematics-based animation, morphing, a plugin API - and it's under the GPL. Currently only for Windows, but they're working on a Linux and FreeBSD port. Synopsis: OpenFX is now available under the GPL with advanced features like raytracing and NURBS support.
