- Notes On Sample Files For CAD-3D version 1.0
- Copyright 1986 Tom Hudson. Distributed by Antic Publishing.
-
- ANTIC.3D . . . . . . . . ANTIC logo 3D object file.
- For best results, view this file in
- Solid mode (not outlined). The Edges-only
- option will not work with this particular file.
- START.3D . . . . . . . . START, The ST Quarterly logo 3D object file.
- For dramatic perspective effects, increase
- the Perspective value to 1000, and rotate left
- 30 degress and down 10 degrees.
- BLOCK.3D . . . . . . . . A alphabet block, illustrating how an object
- (letters, in this case) can be Stamped on
- another object. View in Edges-only, Outlined
- mode. Try duplicating this block and
- building a little pyramid of four or five
- blocks.
- FAUCET.3D . . . . . . . . A faucet assembly, composed of over a dozen
- individual objects, many of which have been
- Joined into single objects. The parts have
- been created with both the Spin and Extrude
- tools. Try adding a little light from the
- bottom center, and rotating down 60 degrees
- and left 90 degrees. Voila! A drains-eye-view
- of your sink.
- STHENGE.3D . . . . . . . A complete model of Stonehenge (A circular
- arrangement of prehistoric monoliths on
- Salisbury Plain, England -- probably set up
- in the neolithic period.) Ian Chadwick built
- this model, to scale, in less than a day.
- It includes all the ditches, post-holes,
- and stones that were part of Stonehenge
- when it was built, at around 1100 BC. When
- you load the model, it will be displayed
- with Light A on. Try other lighting
- effects. Keep in mind, however, that this
- model is so large that screen redraws will
- take about 30 seconds in solid mode. An
- interesting view can be achieved by rotating
- up 15-20 degrees, and left 60-90 degrees
- (or right 90 degrees). On a color monitor,
- set palette #1 to blue, and the effect will
- be an eerie look at the monoliths in the
- moonlight. View in Outlined mode.
