ham8_r3d.library 1.1 (16.03.94)

INTRODUCTION
--------------
"ham8_r3d.library" is a custom display interface for Realsoft's raytracing
program "Real 3D". It allows to render images directly to HAM8 screen and
save them in IFF ILBM format. This library is intended for use with Real 3D
v1.4.1 and is rather useless for owners of Real 3D v2.0 because it has HAM8
support built in.
This library is a freeware, but is Copyright (c) by Konrad Dubiel. This
archive may be freely distributed as long as all files remain unchanged.
Suggestions, bug-reports, Real 3D objects and images please send to:

REQUIREMENTS
--------------
To use this library you need:
- Real 3D v1.4.1 or later,
- Amiga computer with AGA chipset,
- Kickstart 3.0 (surprise !),
- asl and iffparse libraries.
INSTALLATION
--------------
I think that installation doesn't require use of Installer. Simply copy
ham8_r3d.library to your LIBS: or REAL: directory.
USAGE
-------
After installing this library you must enter Real's "Solid" mode and select
function "Library name" from menu "Frame buffer". Then type
"ham8_r3d.library" and select OK. This name will be saved in RealEnv file
when you exit Real, so you need to type it only once. When the library is
loaded "Frame buffer" menu contains four additional functions (this is true
for Real 3D v1.4.2, in v1.4.1 there are five new functions).
"Open screen"
Opens a screen (behind all others) and sets "Width" and "Height" to its size.
You must select this function first, before rendering. Images are rendered to
this screen in "Lampless", "Shadowless" and "Normal" modes.
"Close screen"
Closes the screen. It is of course automatically closed when you exit the
program.
"Set modes"
Opens a screen mode requester. You can set any monitor you want, overscan and
size. Screens larger then overscan area are autoscrolled. After setting
display mode screen is re-opened. You must have previously opened screen to
use this function.
"Save"
Saves rendered HAM8 image in IFF ILBM format. If you activate "IFF-24" or
"TARGA" gadget, image will be saved as 24 bit IFF or TARGA. Users of Real 3D
v1.4.1 will find two save functions in "Frame buffer" menu - "Custom save"
saves HAM8 IFF, and "24 bit save" saves IFF24 or TARGA.
