Thank you for downloading my demo (hope you like it).

This demo took me 4 months to complete. And was written on a 486dx2 50.

The story so far...

   I started off not knowing anything about 3d graphics. However my 
enthusiasm skyrocketed when I saw my friend's ( Toshiaki ) 3d demo. 
I couldn't understand how he was doing what he was doing, and I was 
determined to find out. Well the first thing I did was buy ( The Black 
Art of 3D programming by Andre Lamothe ). This showed me the basics and 
along with pestering Toshiaki day and night :) and with my own tinkerings,
I started seeing the light. 
   Well one thing led to another and the first thing I knew I was writing 
my first demo. This started out as a hobby ( but after my friend got a game 
programming job in California, I decided to make it a career. 
   Read: bluntly, I'm looking for a job. ;)

The Demo:

   Well, as I said this started off as a demo so the code is geared in that
direction. But along the way I decided to try to make the code a bit more
library oriented. The only problem is that sometimes ( because of C++ ) and
that I originally didn't design it as a full fledged library it doesn't always
work as a general 3d graphics library. Oh well. That's for my next project!

Acknowledgements:

   I would like to acknowledge Peter Freese ( The 2nd Guru Book ) for his
voxel algorithm ( which I used and hopefully improved on with shadowing :)

   I would also like to acknowledge Zach Mortensen at mortens1@nersc.gov for
designing the phong algorithm I used. It was ( in my opinion ) a stroke of
genius to think about interpolating angles instead of normals to get intesities
for each pixel.

   I would also like to thank my brother Trevannon ( who knows nothing about
graphics but everthing about math and stuff in general! ) for his help.

   Finally I would like to acknowledge Toshiaki Tsuji@z-axis.com as my number 
one mentor. This guys's a genius. He also has a very good demo/library himself, 
and if you're interested should check it out at...

x2ftp.oulu.fi (/pub/msdos/programming/demosrc) or a ftp.cdrom.com (sorry 
don't know the path.)

I recently graduated ).
