Freezing Moon is a foundation (aka Non-Profit Organization), started around the fall of 2007 by Valentin Anastase, a cg artist known around various parts of the Internet as Dread Knight.

His vision is to create an art & gaming oriented community that will develop open projects over the internet, projects such as games and cinematics, by making good usage of free open source cross platform software in the development pipeline.

Secondary goals are to provide with training material, helping enthusiasts get better glimpse of the pipeline tools in order to achieve similar results to different elements from the open projects and therefore spread the use of free open source software, as well as to improve the pipeline tools.

Inspiration for the name of the NPO came from the song by the black-metal band called Mayhem.
