MAT-PATH = "matlibs"

; Default material library.  Must be in your MAT-PATH.
;  (note, this is NOT a pathname... it is a filename)
MATERIAL-LIBRARY = "3ds.mli"

; Default path for all maps and backgrounds to be used by the system.

; This variable sets the DOS pathname for the IPAS external
;  processes. (.IXP, .PXP, .AXP, and .SXP files, although it's "legal"
;  and more convenient to store .sxp files in your primary map-path)
; Note that this is also the directory to store .BAT and .EXE files that
;  are used by Video Post.
PROCESS-PATH = "process"

; Default path for temp files
TEMP-PATH = "temp"
; Note that temp files do not include the Phar Lap virtual memory swap
;  file.  That file always "lives" in your 3DS partition unless you
;  redirect it with the CFIG3DS -swapdir command (explained in the
;  CFIG386.EXE section of the Installation Guide).

; The BACKUP-FILE switch turns on a function which creates a .BAK
;  file for any file saved within the system.  We highly recommend that
;  you leave this ON always.
; This is system selectable in the Info/System Options dialog.
BACKUP-FILE = ON

; External programs.
; These appear in the "Programs" menu.
; You can have up to 14 user programs, and they can be a mix
;  of .EXE, .BAT, and .PXP files.  (note that .PXP files don't
;  need the specific _W or _I reference because the program
;  automatically loads the .PXP that matches the version of 3DS.EXE.
; 3D Studio must be invoked by 3DSHELL.COM for external programs
;  to have enough memory to run.
; Also note that programs need to have explicit path names
;  including the .exe, .pxp, or .bat extender for 3dshell.com to be able
;  to find it.  Note that COMMAND.COM must be in your 3DS
;  directory or you must be using the COMSPEC= environment variable
;  for .bat files to run.
; Finally, note that you can pass arguments to .exe and .bat
;  files.  For example:
; USER-PROG9 = "c:\norton\lp.exe d:\froon.txt","LP Froon"
;  will execute Norton Utility's LP program, causing it
;  to print the file d:\froon.txt.
;
USER-PROG1 = "process\box.pxp","BOX"

;USER-PROG8 = "c:\autocad\acad.exe","AutoCAD"

; Note, if you want to shell out to another Phar Lap application, such
;  as Animator Pro, read the CFIG386 section of the Installation and
;  Performance Guide.  It explains how to reserve 2Mb of memory so the
;  second application can run.  (note that this will permanently take memory
;  away from 3D Studio, so you may have to go out and spend $100 on
;  RAM just for this purpose.  Such is life in DOS-extender-land.
; Also note that if you're using QEMM or 386 to-the-max as an extended
;  memory manager, the above reservation of 2Mb of memory for Animator Pro
;  may not be necessary.  First, try shelling out without reserving the
;  memory and see if it runs.

; Axis labeling -- height, width and depth axes for the Lofter and Editor
;  (change the H and D axes to get the right-hand-rule)
; SystemDefault is H-LABEL="Z" and D-LABEL="Y" (right-hand rule), but we
;  use the left-hand-rule in the documentation, as set below.

; Pointing device parameters.

; This sets the default input device to either the built-in
;  MS Mouse driver or the external DGPADI driver.
;  The default is MOUSE.  For ADI use DGPADI.  For built-in Summagraphics
;  support (a la 3DSr1) use SUMMA.
INPUT-DEVICE = MOUSE

; This command sets the COM port for the MOUSE and SUMMA pointing
;  devices (not the DGPADI device).  You can set it to ports 0 through 3.
; This is system selectable in the Info/Configure dialog.
;COM-PORT = 0

; Mouse scaling/speed factor for the entire system (default=4).
; This is system selectable in the Info/Configure dialog.
MOUSE-SPEED = 2

; Interface control parameters

; This command sets the size of the cursor "pick box".    You can set it
;  to size 5(pixels) through 16(pixels).
; This is system selectable in the Info/Configure dialog.
;PICK-BOX = 5

; The SELECTED-RESET switch will keep the SELECTED button from turning
;  off until you choose a command that doesn't make sense to use it
;  with.  It's currently set to ON, to make it the same as the default
;  shipping 3DS R1.  Experiment with turning it OFF...  you'll probably
;  like it better that way.
; This is system selectable in the Info/System Options dialog.
SELECTED-RESET = ON

; This makes the TrackInfo and KeyInfo buttons inside the Keyframer
;  modal.  When set to ON, they don't turn off until you select another
;  command or right-click.  Default is OFF (a la 3DSr1).
; This is system selectable in the Info/System Options dialog.
MODAL-KFBUTTONS = OFF

; The REGION-TOGGLE switch, when OFF, will cause the Region selection tools
;  in the Shaper and Editor to be additive, instead of toggling.
;  This can be a tremendous modeling aid if you need to create
;  irregular selection sets.  This is currently set to toggle only
;  because that is the same method used by 3DSr1.
;  It's recommended that you change it to OFF so it doesn't toggle
;  for general use.
; This is system selectable in the Info/System Options dialog.
REGION-TOGGLE = ON

; Parameters affecting geometry.
; These parameters set up basic modeler functions and memory usage limits.

; This command determines whether or not closed DXF polyline entities get
;  filled with 3D faces when imported into 3D Studio.
; The default is YES.
;FILL-PLINES = YES

; Range= 1-9999, Default= 10
SPLINE-MAX = 100

; Maximum vertices in the Shaper.
; (NOTE -- USES A MEMORY BUFFER)

; Range= 0-10, Default= 5
SHAPE-STEPS = 5

; Number of interpolations between path vertices in Lofter.
; Range= 0-10, Default= 5
PATH-STEPS = 5

; Threshold for defining coincident vertices to be used by
;  the Modify/Vertex/Weld (Selected) function in the 3D Editor
;  and the DXF-loading function.  (in units)  If objects don't
;  Unify correctly, this setting is probably too low.
; Range= 0-9999, Default= 0.0001
WELD-THRESHOLD = 0.0001

; Display, rendering and hardcopy parameters.

; Default rendering driver to use...
; Built-in output drivers: VGA320X200, Vision16 (512x486),
;   NULL (any-resolution), VistaL (512x486), VistaH (756x486)
; ADI system rendering display driver: RDPADI or RCPADI
; Note:  Must have SET RDPADI or SET RCPADI statements
;  in your AUTOEXEC.BAT for ADI drivers to function.
; Defaults to VGA320x200.
RENDER-DISPLAY = vga320x200

;For Vista card... converts VistaH to 738x576 and VistaL to 492x576
;  when set to PAL (requires a PAL-compatible monitor to view).
VISTA-MODE = NTSC

; This command sets up the default number of frames in the Keyframer to 25
;  (for 1 second of PAL video) instead of the default 30 (for NTSC video).
;  Default is NO.
PAL-VIDEO = NO

; Built-in hardcopy devices: None
; ADI system rendering hardcopy driver: RHPADI
;  Note:  Must have SET RHPADI statement in your AUTOEXEC.BAT
;  for this to function.
; Defaults to RHPADI.
;DEFAULT-HARDCOPY = RHPADI

; Display to use for the main interface (VGA/RCPADI) if you have
;   the proper RCPADI (combined rendering/display) protected mode
;   ADI driver.  (the sample RCPVESA.EXP driver is for VESA-compatible
;   VGA cards.)
; If this is not set, it defaults to 640x480 VGA.
;MAIN-DISPLAY = RCPADI

; Display to use for Materials Editor (VGA/RCPADI) if you have
;   the proper RCPADI (combined rendering/display) protected mode
;   ADI driver. (the sample RCPVESA.EXP driver is for the VESA-compatible
;   VGA cards.)
; If this is not set, it defaults to 320x200 VGA.  Note that using
;   the RCPADI interface for the Materials Editor is basically pointless,
;   and will only slow you down without actually using the extra
;   "real estate."
;MATERIAL-DISPLAY = RCPADI

; Renderer file output parameters.

; Turn last image viewing on (it defaults to NO)
; This is system selectable in the Info/System Options dialog.
SAVE-LAST-IMAGE = YES

; Last rendered image hold file.  Note that this variable must be the
;  complete, explicit filename including the entire path.
;  It's not just the pathname.
; Defaults to "lastrend.img" in the 3DS IMAGE-PATH directory.
LAST-IMAGE-FILE = "lastrend.img"

; Default output image type in the 3D Editor
;  (GIF, TARGA, CTIF, MTIF, Default=TARGA)
IMAGE-TYPE = GIF

; The TGA-DEPTH switch controls whether or not Targa (.tga) files
;  are written to disk as dithered 16-bit (15+1) or 24-bit truecolor files.
; Default is 24-bit.   Valid parameters are either 16 or 24.
; This is system selectable in the Info/System Options dialog.
TGA-DEPTH=24

; Output image compression settings for TGA and TIF files
;  (ON/OFF, Default=ON)
IMAGE-COMPRESSION = ON

; Default output animation file type in the Keyframer
;  (FLIC or TARGA, Default=FLIC)
ANIM-TYPE = FLIC

; This turns field-rendering on when it's YES and off when it's NO.
; Default is NO.
; This is system selectable in the Info/System Options dialog.
RENDER-FIELDS = NO

; This sets the field-rendering order.  It controls which scanlines are
;  rendered on which field.  Different frame-buffers require different
;  field ordering.
; If you get flashing images when rendering in field-mode, then switch
;  this to 0.   (Can be 1 or 0)
;FIELD-ORDER = 1

; This option reconfigures the TIFF file loading code to make it possible
;  to load Animator Pro 1.x 8-bit .tif files.  Note that if this option
;  is set to YES, any other .tif files will not load, so leave it set to
;  NO during normal usage.
;AAP-TIFFLOAD = NO

; This option allows you to customize the rendering resolution buttons in the
;  Render/Setup/Configure dialog for your own sizes.  The format is:
RES1 = 320,200,0.82
;  Where the first button is width, second is height, and third is
;  aspect ratio.  You can replace any of the four buttons by using
;  the appropriate number.  The buttons default to their settings
;  in version 1.0.
;RES2 = 256,243,1.23
; This RES2 statement is a very useful setting for previewing Targa
;  images because it's an exact 1/4 screen version of the Targa+
;  24-bit display.  If you have a Targa or Vista card, you should
;  modify it accordingly so the horizontal and vertical resolution
;  is 1/2 full size on each axis.  Very convenient!

; This command sets the default resolution and aspect ratio for the
;  NULL output device.  (The default is 320,200.0.82)
DEFAULT-NULLRES = 320,200,0.82

; Renderer image parameters.

; This option determines whether or not the frame buffer is cleared
;  before each frame is rendered in the keyframer.  The default
;  is set to NO.
CLEAR-BUFFER = NO

; Alpha-channel variable will tack on an extra 8 bits of transparency
;  information to your image files if it is set to YES -- creating
;  a full 32-bit file.
;  (It defaults to NO.)
; This is system selectable in the Info/System Options dialog.
USE-ALPHA = NO

; When USE-ALPHA is set to YES, this command splits the 8-bit alpha
;  information off into a separate 8-bit .tga file that starts with
;  A_ to denote that it's alpha information only.
ALPHA-SPLIT = NO

; This parameter is specifically for 32-bit decaled texture maps that
;  need to take their alpha information from the decal map for smooth
;  blending into the background material.  When MAP-LOAD-ALPHA is set
;  to YES, the renderer will use the texture map's 8-bits of alpha for
;  blending the edge of the decal into the material.  Note that when
;  this is set to YES, texture maps won't render correctly from Video
;  Post (they'll be over-exposed), so keep it set to NO under normal
;  rendering conditions and only set it to YES for specific sequences
;  in which you've got a 32-bit decal map and you require alpha blending
;  around its edges.
MAP-LOAD-ALPHA = NO

; The shading limit for the renderer: WIRE, FLAT, GOURAUD, PHONG
;  (system default = FLAT but the shipping program default = PHONG)
SHADING-MODE = PHONG

; This command turns TURBO mode on or off.  When ON, there is no extra
;  antialiasing done on texture-mapped surfaces no matter what AA level
;  has been set.  (The texture filtering handles the job on its own and
;  does very well at it.  The major penalty is that reflections and bump
;  maps don't get filtered, so always use some reflection-blur on your
;  reflection maps.  Bump maps look fine in flics, but may have
;  to be rendered with Turbo mode OFF for true-color video animation.)
; This is system selectable in the Antialiasing Parameters dialog.
TURBO = ON

; The level of antialiasing for the renderer: NONE, LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH
;  (default = NONE)
ANTIALIASING = LOW

; This command sets the threshold for adaptive over-sampling.
;  It defaults to 20.  Lower values will slow down the renderer
;  ONLY if Turbo mode is OFF.  Higher values will speed it up if Turbo is
;  OFF, but the antialiasing won't be as complete.
;  If you always render with Turbo mode on, you can set this to 0 and
;  get only a 2-5% performance decrease.
; Note that when rendering with FIELD's ON, this ALWAYS ought to be set
;  at 0 (won't slow you down as long as Turbo mode is ON).
; This is system selectable in the Antialiasing Parameters dialog.
ANTIALIASING-THRESHOLD = 20

; The following three commands can be used to customize the oversampling
;  amount (2x2, 3x3, 4x4, 5x5, 6x6, 7x7, or 8x8) for antialiasing.
; This is usually COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY to touch unless you want
;  ridiculously-high quality antialiasing for still images.  It hardly
;  makes any difference at all for animations.  The only time when it
;  it may be a good idea is if you're rendering wireframes and need to
;  antialiase them extra-thoroughly.
; Note that if you see "ropy edges" when rendering scenes, you need to
;  use the VBLUR.IXP program with a vblur value of 0.6-0.9 to reduce
;  the ropiness INSTEAD of turning up the antialiasing level above 4.
; LOW defaults to 2 (a la 3DSr1), range is 2-6
; MEDIUM defaults to 3 (a la 3DSr1), range is 3-7
; HIGH defaults to 4 (a la 3DSr1), range is 4-8
;ANTIALIASING-LOW = 2
;ANTIALIASING-MEDIUM = 3
;ANTIALIASING-HIGH = 4

; This command turns texture filtering (Moltum-In-Parvum "mip" mapping)
;  on or off.  When on, it uses 30% more memory for texture maps but
;  doesn't take much extra rendering time.
; Note that it should ALWAYS be on... ESPECIALLY when TURBO mode is on!
; This is system selectable in the Antialiasing Parameters dialog.
FILTER-MAPS = ON

; This command sets the blur factor for texture map filtering.
; Increase it if you see scintillating pixels in your texture
;  maps as you move around them.  For true-color Targa or Vista video
;  animation, you may find it necessary to push it up to between
;  1.5 and 2.0.
;  0.30 is crisp -- texture pixels will scintillate
;  1.00 is slightly blurry -- generally useful for flic animation,
;   although to keep heavily-detailed textures from scintillating,
;   you may have to bump it up to 1.5-2.0.
; The default is 0.80 -- minimal amount for flic animation.
; This is system selectable in the Antialiasing Parameters dialog.
TEXTURE-BLUR = 0.80

; Dither 256-color output?  (default = ON)
; This is system selectable in the Info/System Options dialog.
;  Note that when it is ON, flic size is greatly increased (and
;  subsequently, flic playback speed will decrease).
DITHER-256 = OFF

; These two dithering commands give the 3DS user a choice about what
;  method to use for the 8-bit VGA dithering color compression.
; Floyd-Steinberg dithering is much more accurate, and perfect for
;  use with still images (GIF and 8-bit greyscale TIFF formats), but when
;  you use it in an animation, it has temporal artifacts that may be
;  objectionable.  The default is for the F-S method to be used for stills,
;  and not to be used for animations.
FLOYD-DITHER-STILLS = YES
FLOYD-DITHER-FLICS = NO

; Set to YES to flip the reflection map left-to-right. (default = NO)
; This is system selectable in the Info/System Options dialog.
REFLECT-FLIP = NO

; This command controls the number of inter-object reflections in NON-FLAT
;  automatic reflection maps.  It controls the number of times each
;  auto-reflect-map object is rendered -- watch out because it can
;  EXPONENTIALLY increase the amount of time it takes to render reflections.
; Default is 1.  Range is 1-10.
NONFLAT-AUTOREFLECT-LEVELS = 1

; This command affects the reflection of objects which intersect or
;  surround flat-mirror reflection objects.  It has no effect on other
;  automatic reflections.  When set to NO (the default), only those faces
;  in an object that completely fall below the surface of a flat-mirror
;  surface are clipped (not reflected).  When set to YES, any faces in an
;  object that even partially fall below the surface of the flat-mirror
;  surface are clipped.  (see the readme.doc for more details)
MIRROR-CLIP-ANY = NO

; Hither camera clipping plane in units from the camera.
;  (default = 1.0)
; This is system selectable in the System Options dialog.
Z-CLIP-NEAR = 1.0

; Shadow parameters.

; Spotlight/shadow parameter defaults...  These can be reset from within the
;   program from the Renderer/Configure/Shadows branch or individually
;   for each spotlight.
; Note that these parameters get saved with the geometry in the .3DS
;  mesh file.

; The size of the spotlight shadow bitmap in pixels-squared.
; Range= 10-4096, Default= 300
SHADOW-MAP-SIZE = 300

; Width of the area (NxN) in which the shadow-map is averaged (smoothed).
; Range= 1-10, Default= 5
SHADOW-SAMPLE-RANGE = 5

; Shadow bias (offset) from the base of the shadow to the base
;  of the object being shadowed.  (in units)
; Range= any positive floating point number.  Default is 3.0 units
;  but it's currently set to 1.0 for general use.
SHADOW-BIAS = 1.0

; This command is for switching between the INTERNAL Diaquest
;  VTR control code and the new VTPADI control code.  Contact the
;  manufacturer of your VTR controller for the appropriate VTPADI
;  driver.
; The default is DIAQUEST.  For ADI use VTPADI.
VTR-DEVICE = DIAQUEST

; This command is for turning off requests for user input from the renderer
;  while rendering from the command line in batch mode.  If it is set
;  to YES, the renderer will proceed with rendering the scene even if
;  it can't find files it needs to correctly render the scene.
; The default is YES.
;BATCH-RENDER-PAUSE = YES
; Note that if you set this to NO, you ought to redirect the screen
;  output to a file by adding a DOS redirection command to your
;  3DS RENDER command sequence, like this:
; 3DS RENDER TEST /SP >>RENDER.LOG
