	On May 3rd 2022, [https://twitter.com/Foone/status/1521574394761383936 the BRender engine was open sourced by Jez San]. Two versions of the source were released on this day, with a 3rd ~~hopefully~~ coming ~~soon~~. ~~These first two versions come from~~ the ~~leaked SDK mentioned above~~.		On May 3rd 2022, [https://twitter.com/Foone/status/1521574394761383936 the BRender engine was open sourced by Jez San]. Two versions of the source were released on this day, with a 3rd coming later from a version used with Privateer 2. Early on it was believed Microsoft had a copy of the source for their 3D Movie Maker repo, but that version was lost, and the repo only contains binaries.
