Happy Halloween all,
As promised, 3D Reality shipped today. If you are like me, when
you want something, you want it right away. Well, here it is...
Since Reality is a totally "earthwise"* product, with complete
on-line, context-sensitive help, you can pick it up from cs.orst or sonata
[currently in the submissions directory on both of these sites]. It will
operate in demo mode [total functionality less ability to save or copy]
until it is registered.
For us hacker types, it also comes with a complete API so you can
add shape modules to Reality. Several bundle examples show you how to
program these shapes. It also comes with source code to 18 shaders, so you
can learn to write your own shaders as well.
It is also available in pub/stone on unmvax.cs.unm.edu as
3D_Reality.tar.

TO INSTALL:
0. tar xf 3DReality.tar
This will create a directory containing four packages:
a. 3DReality.pkg
This is the application itself. Install in ~/Apps or
/LocalApps
b. 3DRealityShaders.pkg
This contains useful Shaders and Textures that can
be used with Reality or any other modeler. Install
in /LocalLibrary or ~/Library
c. 3DReality_API.pkg
This contains docs, headers and example source so
you can build extensions to 3D Reality.
d. 3DReality_Samples.pkg
This package has demo files for 3D Reality: several documents,
shapes, and shaders.
1. Run Installer.app to install the packages you desire.
2. Launch the application, open the License... panel from the Info
menu and register the program using your registration number, or hit
"Demo" and run the program in demo mode. Demo mode allows the full
functionality of the program, except for the ability to copy or save.
