- INTRODUCTION
- --------------
-
- "ham8_r3d.library" is a custom display interface for Realsoft's raytracing
- program "Real 3D". It allows to render images directly to HAM8 screen and
- save them in IFF ILBM format. This library is intended for use with Real 3D
- v1.4.1 and is rather useless for owners of Real 3D v2.0 because it has HAM8
- support built in.
-
- This library is a freeware, but is Copyright (c) by Konrad Dubiel. This
- archive may be freely distributed as long as all files remain unchanged.

- REQUIREMENTS
- --------------
-
- To use this library you need:
- - Real 3D v1.4.1 or later,
- - Amiga computer with AGA chipset,
- - Kickstart 3.0 (surprise !),
- - asl and iffparse libraries.
-
-
- INSTALLATION
- --------------
-
- I think that installation doesn't require use of Installer. Simply copy
- ham8_r3d.library to your LIBS: or REAL: directory.
-
-
- USAGE
- -------
-
- After installing this library you must enter Real's "Solid" mode and select
- function "Library name" from menu "Frame buffer". Then type
- "ham8_r3d.library" and select OK. This name will be saved in RealEnv file
- when you exit Real, so you need to type it only once. When the library is
- loaded "Frame buffer" menu contains four additional functions (this is true
- for Real 3D v1.4.2, in v1.4.1 there are five new functions).
-
- "Open screen"
- Opens a screen (behind all others) and sets "Width" and "Height" to its size.
- You must select this function first, before rendering. Images are rendered to
- this screen in "Lampless", "Shadowless" and "Normal" modes.
-
- "Close screen"
- Closes the screen. It is of course automatically closed when you exit the
- program.
-
- "Set modes"
- Opens a screen mode requester. You can set any monitor you want, overscan and
- size. Screens larger then overscan area are autoscrolled. After setting
- display mode screen is re-opened. You must have previously opened screen to
- use this function.
-
- "Save"
- Saves rendered HAM8 image in IFF ILBM format. If you activate "IFF-24" or
- "TARGA" gadget, image will be saved as 24 bit IFF or TARGA. Users of Real 3D
- v1.4.1 will find two save functions in "Frame buffer" menu - "Custom save"
- saves HAM8 IFF, and "24 bit save" saves IFF24 or TARGA.
