-
-
- This applet can generate a lightsourced voxel landscape in realtime.
- Thanks to 6502/FR. The applet is interactive, in fact you can control
- it with the mouse.
-
- The animation superman.gif is a courtesy of mstanya@bigfoot.com
-
- This applet is fully parametrized, so you can generate all kinds of
- interactive tunnel effects.
-
- The following 3 ".class" files must be uploaded: voxel.class, Lware.class
- and anfy.class.
-
- Insert the <applet> tag in your html document as follows to add this applet
- to your page (Comments after the ";" symbol are code explanations and
- acceptable min/max values. They are not part of the applet language):
-

- The following instructions detail how to change parameters:
-
- Attempting to change the credits parameter will disable the applet.
-
- To activate the reg parameters read the shareware registration notes.
- In the "regcode" parameter, place the registration code you
- purchased from the author. If the code is correct and the applet is run from
- the registered domain name, you can use "link" parameters to link to a URL
- when the applet is "clicked".
-
- If you set "regnewframe" to "YES", you can specify a specific frame location
- for the reglink:
-
- "_blank" : To load the link in a new blank unnamed browser window.
- "_self" : To load the link into the same window the applet occupies.
- "_parent" : To load the link into the immediate FRAMESET parent.
- "_top" : To load the link into the top body of the window.
-
- You can also set a custom frame name, such as "myframe1".
-
- With the "overimg" parameter you can specify the name of an image that will
- be painted over the applet. The best options are transparent GIF images.
- NOTE: Animated GIF images are supported, but will be displayed as animated
- only on latest browsers (Netscape 4 and Explorer 4 or newer).
- With "overimgX" and "overimgY" you can center the image over the applet area.
-
- The applet can be of any size. The res parameter determine the resolution:
- with res=1 pixels are small, but the effect is slow. With res=8, pixels are
- too big but the effect is faster.
- Optimal choices are 1-3. (In fact, res is a sort of zoomer).
-
- With the "shadow" parameter you can calibrate the light intensity: low
- values mean less shadows, high values mean high contrasts and light-shadow.
-
- With "roughness" you can change the roughness of the ground: low values
- make soft desert dunes, high values make tall mountains.
-
- You can select the color palette with "numpal" parameter:
-
-
- 1) red -> blue
- 2) orange -> green
- 3) green -> blue
- 4) blue -> green
- 5) green -> red
- 6) blue -> red
- 7) yellow
- 8) yellow -> blue
- 9) violet
- 10) red
- 11) violet -> green
- 12) pink -> green
- 13) blue
- 14) blue2
- 15) azzure
- 16) green
- 17) green2
- 18) gray
- 19) blue -> yellow
- 20) yellow
- 21) azzure -> red
- 22) green -> violet
- 23) red
- 24) violet
- 25) gray
- 26) gray2
- 27) gray3
-
- As you can see, there are enough palettes to simulate the moon's surface,
- Mars surface, and so on.
-
- With the horizon parameter you can increase the horizon calculated, with
- a value from "0" to "500". Higher horizon means slower effect.
-
- If you want, you can load an heights map, it must be a 256*256 pixels wide
- grayscale image (GIF or JPG), darker grays are lower altitues, ligher grays
- are higher altitudes.
- View the included example voxmap.gif to understand this concept.
