"Fountain" includes 3D shape creation tools such as 3D primitives,
2D polygons, face editing, lathing, sweeping and tips as well as the
extrusion of TrueType fonts. You can choose between infinite and local light
sources, and you can paint not only entire objects, but also on individual
faces and vertices.

Existing 3D geometry can be imported via DXF, 3D Studio, Wavefront, LightWave
and Imagine filters, and the following 2D formats are supported: PostScript,
BMP and JPG. While "Fountain" is primarily an authoring tool, the ability
to read VRML files allows you to take advantage of existing 3D resources on
the Internet and to test VRML-specific features such as levels of detail,
in-lining and hyperlinks.

The minimum requirements for "Fountain" are a fast 486 with 8MB of RAM. To
access VRML worlds on the Web, a SLIP/PPP connection and a 14.4k modem are
also required. To comfortably navigate through worlds with over a thousand
polygons, we recommend a Pentium with a 64-bit graphics card (preferably with
3D acceleration). A 28.8k modem or ISDN connection are also recommended for
accessing larger worlds.

While you do not need an HTML browser to access VRML files across the Web,
you will need one to display 2D formats such as HTML. Currently, only Netscape
is supported. Here is how you configure Netscape for recognizing what to do
with VRML files:

Step 1: Select the "Options/Preferences" menu item.

Step 2: Select the "Helper Applications" item in the pulldown.

Step 3: Click the "New Type" button.

Step 4: In the Configure New Mime type dialog enter:
	For Mime Type: x-world
	For Mime Subtype: x-vrml

Step 5: In the "Extensions" field enter: .wrl

While "Fountain" may be freely downloaded for non-commercial use, it may only
be resold in any form or included as part of other applications with the
written consent of Caligari Corporation.

Note: If any problems are encountered with the 3DR installation, you may wish
to try installing 3DR by itself - run SETUP.EXE in your target Fountain
directory.
