3D Photo IV --Ver 4.3 October 1998-- (C) CYBERWARE Sinthetics 1998-1999
3D Photo is provided with several functions...
First of all, everything you do must be fitted into a mask, a
mask define what to change.
Every tape has options.
The options menu is displayed keeping clicked on the tape.
The current selection is indicated by a small rectangle on the
left of the option voice.
If the button is clicked without selecting an option, this will
apply the last selected option.
To Apply an action (button) simply go on the model and click on it
or keep clicked and drag to see real time effects.
Remember to import any image in 3D Photo the image should be in the
3D Photo Load drectory to be browsed, browser only search in the
current Load directory PCX files or previously saved 3DP files !
