^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This file contains important information about the model and related info.
Rendering this model requires the following:

        Vivid 2.0, alpha 19 version or
        Vivid 3.0 (arriving imminently?)
        6 megabytes free memory

With some hacking, you should be able to render this with previous versions,
I think most of the alpha 19 specific stuff is in the textures file where I
use a transformed bump map.

** NOTICE **

This archive should contain three files:

        README.TXT - This file you're reading
        MODEL.ZIP  - The Eagle Transporter Vivid Model
        EAGLE1.V   - Sample scene file to render model

The file MODEL.ZIP contains:

        EAGLE.VO   - Top level file, include this in your scene
                     and make sure the rest of the files are in
                     the same directory

        XXXXX.VO   - There are 33 .VO files with the model including
                     the EAGLE.VO file. They contain the various parts
                     of the model.

        XXXXX.IMG  - There are two IMG files (bump and texture map)

        HSCOLOR.VC - Vivid colors file

        HSTEXTUR.VS - Textures file

If all of these files are *not* present when you go to render, the model
will not render properly.

The model has the following extents:

        X   -71   to  71
        Y   -28.5 to  28.5
        Z   -16.2 to  9.4

So keep this in mind and scale according to your needs.

Have fun. It took over 60 hours of drafting and coordinate plotting to make
this model a reality, it was truly a labor of love. If I wasn't such a
science fiction nut I wouldn't have gone to the trouble.
