Contents of the demonstration material


Below we summarize the contents of each directory containing demonstration material. This section is followed by full descriptions of the more important material: principally scenes, and their associated movies.

Avi and Movies

These directories contain movies of most of the demonstration scenes (see link onwards), and a few additional movies (see Extra movies). You can view these using the Replay application.

The movies in the Avi directory are for use with the NT version of Animo 2.0, and those in the Movies directory are for the SGI version. The installation of both versions is optional; your system administrator may have decided to omit one or both of them to save disk space on your system.

DemoBg_OLs

This directory contains backgrounds and overlays used in the demonstration scenes.

DemoBg_OLs/Layouts

This subdirectory contains layouts used in the demonstration scenes.

DemoCrms

This directory contains color models for the levels used in the demonstration scenes.

Demo_InkPaint

This directory contains some example levels that you can load into InkPaint to see how painted levels should appear, and to practice re-painting. They are not used in any of the demonstration scenes.

DemoLevels

This directory contains levels used in the demonstration scenes.

DemoLevels/Demo_NoShadow

This subdirectory contains variants of some of the levels which have no shadow.

DemoLevels/DemoTextures

This subdirectory contains textures. The DemoTexture3 and Ripples textures are used in the demonstration scenes. The remaining textures are provided as further examples that you can use for your own practice.

DemoScenes

This directory contains various scenes; for details of these see The DemoScenes directory.

Demo_SpliceDifferencing

This directory has two subdirectories of material that you can use for practice with ScanBackground

Demo_SpliceDifferencing/BG_Splice_Parts

This subdirectory contains images of parts of the circus background. You can add these into ScanBackground (see To add an image with default alignment), and then splice them together (see Splicing the image sections).

Demo_SpliceDifferencing/OL_Parts

This directory contains two images that you can make into an overlay (see Making an overlay from existing images).

LiveAction/BusSequence

This directory contains a shortened sequence of live action. The full sequence is composited into one of the demonstration scenes; space limitations on the CD-ROM prevent us from suppling all the frames.

Movies

See Avi and Movies.

MovieScenes

This directory contains various scenes; for details of these see The MovieScenes directory. You'll find movies of all these scenes in the Movies and Avi directories (if installed).
