!Ray3d Tutorial
---------------

This tutorial takes you through the steps of creating a scene ready
for raytracing. The scene can then be loaded into !RayShade which
will produce the finished raytraced picture.

The scene we are going to raytrace is not going to be anything
spetacular - just a sphere suspended in mid air. This should however
get you used to using !Ray3d and lead you on to experimenting.

Full help on all the features of !Rayd3 is available on the on-line
!Help application.

Loading !Ray3d
--------------

To load !Ray3d, simply double click on it's icon in the directory
viewer, and it will install on the icon bar.

The views
---------

Clicking on the !Ray3d icon on the icon bar will bring up three view
windows and the toolbox.

The view windows show a wireframe view onto the scene you are designing
from three different positions. This gives you a plan, side and front
view of your scene.

The toolbox consists of a list of objects that are present inthe scene
to the left of the window, and various tool icons on the right.

The currently selected tool is shown with a shaded background. It should
be the select icon at the moment (a black mouse pointer).

Creating a sphere
-----------------

Clicking anywhere within the view windows will position the cursor (a
blue cross) which is used to determine where the centre of the sphere
will be.

By clicking in the windows, move the cursor to any position you wish,
and then click on the sphere icon in the toolbox. (a blue sphere)

The sphere tool should now be shaded to indicate that it is the tool
currently being used, and clicking in the view windows will alter the
size of the sphere.

When the size of the sphere is satisfactory, click the left mouse
button while the mouse pointer is over a !Ray3d window. The sphere
will then become part of the current scene, and it's name appear in
the list on the left hand side of the toolbox.

If at any time you wish to abandon creating a sphere, click on the
select icon (the black mouse pointer).

Setting up a target and observer
--------------------------------

To set up the target (what the observer will look at), click on the
target icon in the toolbox (a red cross). Now click anywhere in the
view windows and a red cross will appear to indicate the position of
the target. By clicking in the centre of the sphere in two windows,
position the target at the centre of the sphere.

To set the position of the observer (where to look from), click on
the observer icon in the toolbox (an eye). Now clicking anywhere in the
view windows will set the observer's position (a red circle).

When both the target and observer are set correctly, choose the select
tool from the toolbox so that clicking will move the cursor.

Colouring the spheres
---------------------

In the bottom right corner of the toolbox, there should be an icon that
resembles a paint pot. Click on this and a new window should appear.
(alternatively choose 'World � Link' from the menu.)

Within this window is two lists - one shows all the surfaces defined,
while the other shows all the objects within a scene. Also, on the right
of the window can be seen the current object, it's associated surfaces
and tecture information.

Choose the sphere you have created (by clicking on it's name in the list)
and then chhose a surface to apply to it (by clicking on a surface in the
list). The chosen surface should become highlighted.

If you wish to change the surface of an object again - click on the
current surface to deselect it, and then click on the desired new surface.

When you have finished close the window.

Saving the scene
----------------

To save the current scene to disc, select the save option in the normal
way from the 'Project' sub-menu of the main menu.

This scene file can now be loaded into the !RayShade application for
raytracing - see the appropriate file for information on how to do this.
