Real3D v2.0 OpalVision Driver.
------------------------------------------
INSTALLATION
Copy the file 'Opal_r3d.library' included in this archive to
your libs: directory.
USING THE DRIVER
This driver allows access to the OpalVision display via the
'External Screen' controls in Real3D's Project menu. To activate
the driver:
1) Select 'Project/External Screen/Settings'.
Type in 'Opal_r3d.library' in the library box.
(NOTE: This setting can be saved along with the
current environment).
2) Select 'Project/External Screen/Open'.
(You will only need to do this once per session).
3) Select 'View/Render/Settings' (or Amiga-s).
Click on the 'Output' cycle gadget (top-left) until
the text 'External' appears.
(NOTE: at this point the Width and Height fields will
be changed to the OpalVision display size. If you
change the Opal display resolutions, you may need
to repeat this again to refresh the Width and Height
fields).
4) To render the image in 24bit, select 'View/Render/Window'
(or amiga-r).
Once the render has completed, the image will remain
displayed until the left mouse button is pressed.
To abort the render, hit the 'Esc' key. The display will
also remain displayed until the left mouse button is
pressed.
5) After the image has been rendered, it can then be saved
using 'Project/External Screen/Save' this will save the
image either using Real3D's file formats or the OpalVision
formats (see below).
6) If you wish to reclaim some memory, select
'Project/External Screen/Close' This will remove the last
24bit image from memory. (NOTE: if you wish to use the
OpalVision display again you'll have to repeat step 2).
7) Selecting 'Project/External Screen/Set Modes' will bring
up a requester which will allow the 24bit display resolution
to be selected. It also allows the OpalVision file format,
that can be used for saving 24bit images, to be selected.
The file formats will include the 3 standard Opal file
formats (IFF, Fast and JPEG) as well as any OpalVision LSI
(loader Saver Interface) modules installed into your system.
To save 24bit images using Real3D's file formats, select
'Project/External Screen/Settings'. From this menu you
can select the file formats to be used, if 'Custom' is
selected, then the OpalVision file format as selected
in the 'Set Modes' menu will be used.
8) To force make the 'Set Modes' menu appear on the current
screen, select 'Project/Window/Screen'. Tick the 'Public'
box and select the 'Default' gadget. The same text should
appear in the 'Current' and 'Default' fields.
