========================================================================== E N G I N E 3 D ========================================================================== Creator: Kenneth Jonsson Version: 0.01 preview example Email: kenneth ATT kenjin.net (replace ATT with @) Homepage: http://www.kenjin.net/ ========================================================================== DESCRIPTION -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Engine 3D is a slow software-rendering 3D engine written in 100% Java. This is only a preview example with two simple texture mapped cubes and two light sources. Features: Gouraud lighting Unlimited number of light sources (only point sources) Unlimited number of objects Affine texture mapping (will be perspective in the future) Environmental mapping (not enabled in this example) Backface culling High-precision z-buffer If I find the time and motivation, I'll add more features and improve the rendering speed. INSTALLATION -------------------------------------------------------------------------- No installation needed. The only requirement is that all files must be in the same directory. None of your system files or settings will be changed. HOW TO RUN -------------------------------------------------------------------------- At a command prompt (MSDOS-prompt in Windows): 1. 'cd' into the directory where you placed the Engine3D files 2. Type 'java Engine3D' If you're running Windows and have Internet Explorer 4 or newer installed, replace step 2 with this: 'jview Engine3D' SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Installed JDK 1.1 or newer.
