Debian Gnome + Beryl “3D-Desktop”
April 172010
Debian GNU/Linux with Gnome Desktop running Beryl/AIGLX for 3D desktop effects. Debian version was “etch” (”testing” at that time).
System:
AMD64 3500+, 1024 DDR2-400, Geforce 6600GT
(but it runs on very old machines, try it out)
You can get all themes, styles, icons etc. on gnome-look dot org. The dockbar at the top is part of “gDesklets” (available on official repositories).
On gnome-look dot org, search for…
“dragon” (wallpaper)
“glassy” (icon set)
“dark” (color theme, I don’t remeber the exact name)
You can install everything with the default gnome theme manager.
There are a lot of users posting “this is ubuntu” – it’s not! The menu icon was part of the default ubuntu icon set I installed before (the new “glassy” icon set does not replace the menu button).

A quick demo of Beryl possibilities on my old computer :

In this video we explore Euler Rotations, the most common method for orienting objects in 3d. It’s by-product “gimbal lock” can cause headaches for animators because the animated motion can move in strange ways. Here we learn how euler’s “rotation order” is a bit like hierachies, and how changing this order can help us to avoid gimbal problems. This is demonstrated with a solution to a common camera problem, by finding the correct rotation order.
I just thought I would share with you one of my favourite websites for PC related items.
