We’ve been avidly following the development of Thrill for quite a while now, and are very excited to hear from Michael that the commercial release is this week. But first, a little housekeeping: As a grand opening for the 3L store, CreateDigitalMotion has 5 copies of the software to give away! Much like the Beta giveaway, the rules are simple.
Your machine will need to meet the 3L minimum specs:
2GHz or faster Intel Core processor
MacOS X 10.4.9 or later QuickTime 7.0.4 or later
2GB or more of RAM
CoreImage capable AGP, PCI Express or Intel graphics processor with at least 256MB of VRAM w/ OpenGL hardware acceleration.
Minimum Screen Resolution 1440 x 960 (which therefore excludes the macbook)
… and you’ll need to leave a comment on this post in the next 48 hours.
In return, 4 winners will receive a 3L Student – single-machine – license (worth €150) , and one will receive 3L Pro , which is a 3-machine license (worth €200) and includes native uDMX support, for controlling VMS or other DMX hardware.
After the competition closes, I have it on good authority that The Wait Is Over, and 3L will be available for all and sundry to try out and purchase with Much Abandon. I also have several hours of footage of Michael taking us on a detailed tour of Thrill at ByteMeFest in Perth last year, so I’ll be going on a mad editing binge in the hope of having this available to help out those who download the demo later this week.
In the meantime: Hit the comments, check out some samples from the 3L Loops series on archive.org, and visit the 3L site for more information.
Update: Entries are now closed. Thanks to everyone who entered. The volume and quality of comments has been overwhelming! It’s really fantastic to see all of these readers come out of the woodwork. I think we’ll have to give more things away so we can hear from you all (Software and hardware developers, you know where to contact us…).
In the meantime, winners will be announced this time tomorrow, to coincide with the 3L store launch. So if you don’t win you’ll be able to try out the demo and even buy a copy!
Awesome ! It is time to boogie 😉
Finally – a chance to fire up the beast.
What a fantastic looking bit of kit :-)))
My machine certainly has those specs hint hint
Well well. This is sounding good. The software sounds cool, and from what I've seen of it I reckons it's going to do very well.
My new Macbook, on its way from the US, has these specs and a 500GB LaCie drive to go with it. The only missing piece is 3L. 😉
it's going to be a Thrill to vist the 3L store this week!
Good goin' guys!!! Looks thrillin' indeed! Good luck and congratulations; greetings from sunny Colorado – B
Oh god, waiting for long time. it's a great opportunity:)

weeeee
3L look to be awesome. I can't wait to use it with my Lemur.
This is pretty much the last thing I need to complete my setup!
another comment in the sea of comments…
don't despair…when the comments hit 200, it's still a 1 in 40 chance of winning. Thanks for all the great comments peeps… we're floored by the response!
just for clarification for people mentioning the dmx support:
3L (and by default, artificialeyes.tv) SUPPORTS ONLY Video Mirror Units Manufactured by VMS. The sliders configured to control up to 10 seperate groups of vmu's are configured to the DMX numbering specification to control vms units. If you want to control OTHER fixtures with the DMX module sliders, those fixtures will have to be numbered according to our non-configureable schematic. Secondly, this vms support is available ONLY with the uDMX microcontroller from anyma.ch which has been reviewed here at cdm.
Other aspects and features of 3L are not controlleable via dmx, and it is unlikely that we will be adding that feature in the future.
If you are interested in using the iCUE or a DIY fixture, its not that it WON'T work, it's that we won't be supporting it actively.
Again, thanks to all for the GREAT comments and all the interest… as soon as the giveaway is over, we will be going live with the store, and the demo version will also be available for you all to play with. To clarify further pricing and licensing options for 3L:
THRILL PRO license with uDMX support: Three machine license, 200 Euro.
This license enables you to serialize the software on three distinct computers, and enables the uDMX module for ONLY vms support.
THRILL STUDENT / EDUCATION license with no uDMX support: Single machine license, 150 Euro
This license enables you to serialize the software on one computer. It is not possible to upgrade to the THRILL PRO license later, and it is not possible to move the license to a second computer.
THRILL DEMO The free trial of 3L is a fully functioning version of the software with the following limitations:
1. The 2nd (Full-Screen) Output is time limited to 5 minutes of operation after entering Full-Screen mode.
2. The DVR (record to disc) is disabled.
3. Firewire Output is disabled.
4. The Output Preview Screen is watermarked.
5. The uDMX module is disabled
Otherwise, all other Features are fully enabled, including preset saving
Oh yeah, don't forget to join the 3LRS User Forum
Peace, Out…
