- Hi, Welcome to Genesis v1.5
-
- To install Genesis simply run the setup.exe program supplied.
-
- Here are some (very) QUICK START guidelines:
-
- * Click and move the mouse in the view to move the 3D cursor
-
- * Click on any icon in the top right to select a tool
-
- * Each tool gives instructions in the status bar at the bottom of
- the screen
-
- * Use the 'Set' and 'Do' buttons on the control panel to operate the tool
-
- * Press the first tool icon in the box to be able to animate your object
- in realtime
-
- * The tool configure menu item brings up a dialog box allowing you to
- configure the selected tool (each tool has a different dialog and
- some simple tools have none)
-
- * Try loading up the various teapot objects in the \objects directory
-
- * Try out the various buttons below the menu bar (particularly the middle
- four, to get use to the various Genesis modes)
-
- * Use the 'Dir' button on the control panel to position the direction you
- want to look in (also the point that the first tool rotates about and the
- point that the 'In' button zooms in towards)
-
- * Look at the help contents from the help menu. It includes an excellecnt
- tutorial showing you how to build the teapot. THIS IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
-
- * Check out the jpeg images in the \objects directory to see what can be
- achieved once you're past the teapot stage! NB. Unless you unlock genesis
- you will not be able to load the objects as they use over 1000 polygons
-
-
- If you think Genesis is useful to you, or even just good fun, please consider
- paying the meagre 16 quid to unlock it. This will entitle you to free updates,
- bug fixes and news updates until the next major release, and provides me with
- an income on which to continue developing this fine product.

- Check out my web site to see what else is in the pipeline:

-
- If you're interested in programming for Genesis you ALREADY have a full toolkit
- on your disk. Nothing stopping you havin' a go. Please be aware though that for
- commercial software using Genesis a license fee must be paid.
