- Virtual Potter 3D Ver.1.0 - (c)1996 R&N Software Creation
- =========================================================
- Created by : Widyo Rio (Widyo Satrio Oetomo)
- release date: Nov 96
-
-
- Virtual Potter 3D is a DOS based application. It is also a public domain
- software. Which mean you can use it, and distribute it to your friends,
- or put it on a BBS freely.
- I have my own goal on this project: to create pottery objects on VRML
- easier. So anyone could publishing their artistic pottery art in to
- the world easily.
-
- FILES LIST
- ----------
- If you unzipped VRPOT.ZIP, you will have these files on your disk.
-
- README.TXT - You've been read this file
- VRPOT.EXE - Virtual Potter 3D, main programs
- *.POT - 6 (Six) samples pottery files
-
- REQUIREMENT
- -----------
- Hardware : at least 286 PC, with EGA/VGA display monitor.
- Mouse is an option, but it is recomended.
- Software : at least DOS 3.3, with Mouse driver if you using Mouse.
- If you run VRPOT on DOS windows under Win95, Mouse driver
- is not neccesary.
-
- QUICK START
- -----------
- VRPOT is simple. I didn't put too much feature on it. So it's make VRPOT
- is easy to use.
-
- After VRPOT.EXE being executed, it will show you the main menu, and
- at the right side there is a 2D shape editor area.
-
- To start creating pottery object, click on "2D Shaper" item. It will
- bring us into its 2D Shape Editor. All you have to do now is just
- drawing the 2D shape by putting arrow pointer into its desired
- location following by Left Click or pressing Enter key (when you are
- not using Mouse device). Repeat this for a few more vertexes till' 2D
- Shape object has been created.
-
- At this time VRPOT is limited for only 13 vertexes. It is not
- because it was Freeware. I have these reason:
- - It is because I used Array data type for storing 3D vertexes, not
- Pointer data type which able to growing up dynamically. So I should
- have decided how many bytes of memory must prepared to hold 2D
- data -which will be turn on to 3D vertexes- with economically way.
- - Keep VRML object as simple as it can. It's mean we were recomended
- to avoid of creating any VRML object too complicated, as using
- too many vertexes etc.
- Things like this will affecting VRML Browser performances directly.
- - By the way 13 is a lucky number isn't it? Do I wrong? :-)
-
- The shape which you've created on 2D Shaper, will turn on to 3D Object
- automatically by rotating it around red line axis on the center of the
- screen.
-
- To viewing 3D Object, from 2D Shaper (shape editor) press Right Click
- or Esc Key. Select 3D Preview from main menu, and you'll see what
- you've done in 3D Wireframe model.
-
- From now on you can save your work, or directly exporting it into
- VRML file (files with WRL extension).
-
- SOURCE CODE
- -----------
- Virtual Potter 3D is freeware. But if you need the source code it is
- available for only 75 US$. The source code is written on Turbo
- Pascal 6.0. Please email me if you are interesting to that code.
