Introduction
------------
S3D.opo displays modeler 3d shape files in .TXT
format. Included in the S3D.ZIP file is an example
shape CUBE.TXT
For those unfamiliar with this format it is as
follows:
3DG1 ; Modeler 3d format identifyer
8 ; Number of points in shape
-50 -50 50 ; Point 0
50 -50 50 ; Point 1
50 50 50 ; .
-50 50 50 ; .
-50 -50 -50 ; .
50 -50 -50 ; .
50 50 -50 ; .
-50 50 -50 ; Point 7
4 0 1 2 3 0 ; Face 0 - num. points in face,Point 1, Point 2,etc..., Colour
4 4 5 6 7 0 ; Face 1
2 0 4 0 ; .
2 1 5 0 ; .
2 2 6 0 ; .
2 3 7 0 ; Face 5
Useage
------
None really !
...but looks technical!
Use the Up/Down cursor keys to move in/out.
Use the "," & "." keys to Y rotate the shape.
Use the "F" key to toggle frame rate print.
"Esc" exits to the file selection window.
If you don't rotate the shape it's much faster
at drawing the shape.
Installation
------------
Just copy S3D.opo into an \OPO\ directory somewhere.
The default directory that it looks for the shape
files is \OPD\ but just press TAB on the file
selector to change this.
