Happy birthday to PPM! A 15 years old community.
Subject description: Should we give it a 15 years old night time party or a trip to Disney World?
Hello everyone! Today, September 30th, 2015, is Project Perfect Mod's 15th anniversary. And every time, I tell the same good old story about how PPM started as an idea of a mod that has eventually grown to the community that it is today.
Last year we were haunted by evil 503 error messages. Does anyone still remembers them? I guess we've made some good progress with the stability of the site and forums. The forums, by the way, has gotten its own domain at http://www.ppmforums.com. My low activity in the news from this year mostly due to my PhD. It is a temporary problem, don't worry.
And to celebrate the 15th anniversary..... afterall, 15 is a special number, isn't it? Anyway, to celebrate it, I've added some steroids to Voxel Section Editor III's 1.4 beta recently.
As you can see the image above, you can Rotate Model (maintaining or not the dimensions of the section). Note that we still recommend you to rotate the model using OS: HVA Builder instead of rotating the pixels. You can change the background colour from all canvas and 3D viewers and set a default background colour at the Options -> Preferences.
VXLSE III also renders models respecting the minimum and maximum bounds of each section, something that previous 1.4 beta versions weren't doing.
There are also bug fixes related to the issues that happened when the program opened a voxel file when being launched, memory leaks, interface allowing double OKs, hit alt was still painting instead of showing the dropper, etc.
This version seems to be somewhat stable and it is much better than 1.38 at this moment. It's really highly recommended to use it instead of 1.38. It also includes the ability to import and export 3D models, among other features. Go grab it HERE and make sure you are online when you run it for the first time. If you don't want to be online in the first run, you have to download most of the files from vxlseiii14x from the SVN, except for the source code itself.
And that's it. I hope you enjoy the gift, keep contributing to this place, afterall, it has 15 years old thanks to your participation and contribution. And hopefully, this is just the beginning.
And yea, I was almost forgetting again.... the cake:

Thank you Banshee for keeping the site running and continuously improving it. No more 503s,yay _________________ SHP Artist of Twisted Insurrection: Nod buildings

Congratulations! I'm always awed at the dedication and commitment of both you Banshee and the members of this community.
It was in some ways fortuitous that the original plan for the site was so quickly forgotten, because that would mean the mod would eventually be released, played, and forgotten. Instead you have all built something pretty incredible.
