3-D Starter Kit for Macintosh enables you to learn about the exciting
world of 3-D on the Macintosh. With the ever increasing power of
hardware and 3-D applications, even novice and amateur computer users
can make remarkable 3-D graphics. We have carefully crated this book
and disc to enable you to both learn about 3-D graphics and to
actually make some of your own.
The 1st download is 3-D Starter Kit for Macintosh.
The 2nd download is the 3-D Starter Kit for Macintosh CD that
accompanied the book.

My CD has a rather severe slice in it, but I was able to use Toast to
do a Disc Recovery-enabled image and it appears to be in order,
however some data on the disc may be bad.

Macintosh 3D Workshop
A full-color interactive guide to lighting, surface qualities, texture
and environment mapping, rendering and animation. Images and examples
from the book are reproduced in color, along with not-found-anywhere-
else illustrations and interactive lessons about key 3-D concepts.
See how multimedia and 3-D really work together.
?Includes Apple?s HyperCard Player 2.1.

Alpha Channel BBS client
This connection client will automatically log you onto the Alpha
Channel BBS, the on-line support forum for the 3D Starter Kit. If
you?d like to e-mail the author, or find out the very latest on what?s
going on in Mac 3-D, The Alpha Channel?s the place to do it. If you?re
looking for something on this disk, such as the latest demo of a
particular 3-D application, but you can?t find it, The Alpha Channel
may well have it ready to download. If not, you can certainly e-mail
the author and request it.
Requires a modem.

Absynthe?s Power Tools
These are Chris Bernardi?s outstanding tutorial guides for getting the
most out of Infini-D. These tips are applicable to almost any 3-D
work. Chris has graciously granted permission for the tips to be
included on the 3D Starter Kit CD-ROM, please join me in thanking him.
You can reach him as ?Absynthe? on America On Line.

Models
Models used to created many of the illustrations in the book are
included, as are samples of digitized 3-D objects from Mira Imaging
and Illustrative Impressions. Models from the book can be opened with
the try-out software also included on this disk.
File formats include DXF, RIB and the native formats of applications
used to create the files.
???
Textures
Every 3-D users needs more seamless texturess, bump maps and effects
maps; powerful 3-D images also call for environment maps and high-
quality backgrounds. The disk contains three collections.
???
Commercial demos
These are try-out versions of commercial software that let you do
everything but save your work. Many 3-D programs, and a handful of
supporting programs are included.
???
Shareware/Freeware
Shareware and Freeware applications and utilities to make your 3-D
work easier. If you use the shareware applications, you are obligated
to pay the creators their required fees; doing so will help ensure a
future supply of greate low-cost software.
