CandyFactory feature list:

Source material:

- B/W IFF mask picture with, or without antialiasing, depending on the
  result you desire.

- Or add anti-aliased text from within the program using:

  * A user selectable CG font with variable size and position
  * Variable character width
  * Variable emboldening, both horizontal and vertical
  * Variable shearing
  * Variable rotation

Applicable effects:

- Shading (lighsource)

  * Variable position and distance (realtime)

- Material settings (object and background):

  * Shaded, non-shaded or reflective (noise or reflection-map)     (realtime)
  * Variable object color                                          (realtime)
  * Variable highlight color and sharpness                         (realtime)
  * variable ambient color                                         (realtime)
  * Loading and saving of materials is possible
  * You can copy or swap between object and background materials   (realtime)

- Inner-bevel:

  * Variable width
  * Variable height
  * Variable smoothness
  * Variable shape (spline based)
  * Embossed or carved look

- Dropshadow (moving in realtime with lightsource):

  * Variable smoothness
  * Variable intensity                                             (realtime)
  * Variable color                                                 (realtime)
  * Variable distance to object                                    (realtime)

- Glow:

  * Normal or diffuse
  * Variable size or smoothness
  * Variable intensity                                             (realtime)
  * Variable center and edge-color                                 (realtime)
  * Variable falloff

- Bumpmapping (object and background):

  * Noisebased (normal, fractal, turbulence or fractal-turbulence) (realtime)
    or from a custom greyscale image.
  * Variable X and Y scale                                         (realtime)
  * Variable height                                                (realtime)
  * Variable top/bottom clipping                                   (realtime)
  * Normal or inverted                                             (realtime)

Display options:

- Change screenmode from within program.
- 8-bit (AGA or GFX-card),15-bit and 24-bit modes supported

Fast-palette based mode or truecolor mode:

  * Fast preview of shading/shadow position, classic mode.

- Truecolor mode:

  * Use object-shading/reflect + color texture + bevel + bumpmapping +
    antialiasing, shadow, glow, background-shading/reflect +
    bumpmapping + color texture and still move the lightsource in
    realtime in 24-bit ! (on PPC)
  * Realtime 24-bit to 8-bit+dither when using 8-bit modes or AGA.

Refine-pass routines (non-realtime, after realtime effects):

- Refined shading giving smooth, truecolor shading and highlights.
- Refined reflection, bi-linear interpolation removes blocks.
- Refined bumpmapping, resampling smooths small bumps.

Prefs:

- Save screenmode and window-positions as well as which are open

Projects:

- Save all current effect settings and the mask filename to a project 
  file.
- Merge project effects with current effects.

Save image:

- Remap image to 2 to 256 colors with or without error-diffusion 
  dithering.
- Option to replace background with 0 color for transparancy.
- Save truecolor 24bit image.
- Save 8bit alpha for composing in a image-editor.

Misc:

- Load a mask and have the current effects applied to it.
- Add text to current mask and have current effects applied.
- Numerous bugfixes, improvements and major speedups (upto 18x) since 
  last public release (v0.54b)
