+--------------+ | 3D Examples | ALSO SEE FRECDDB.TXT FOR INFORMATION ON A FREE | +-+ FREE CODE DATABASE. | William234 | | +-+------------+ | +--------------+ This is a small sample almost electronic book like program with 5 pages in it that shows the basics of 3D. There is more information on 3D at the end of the file. This file may be freely distributed provided that the accompanying documentation is sent along with it. Absolutely no money or anything is asked from you, this is supposed to be a teaching tool. THIS PROGRAM WAS INSPIRED FROM ANOTHER PROGRAM THAT WAS CREATED, BUT I THINK THAT THIS PROGRAM IS BETTER BECAUSE IT GOES INTO MORE DETAIL THAN A PREVIOUS PROGRAM WRITTEN BY SOMEONE WHO'S NAME I DON'T KNOW OFFHAND. MORE INFORMATION ON 3D ====================== If you have not read the "book", you will see some of this information in the "book". First off, the reason that the word book is in quotes ("") is because it really is not a book, but it has a similar layout to a book. Now that you understand, lets talk about 3D. For those of you who are new at this, 3D stands for three dimensional. The three dimensions are HEIGHT, WIDTH, and DEPTH. In the more scientific side, you might here of a fourth dimension. This one is TIME. However, in the computer world, time is not the same. Let me give you an example of time. Draw a picture of an apple, or take a picture of an apple. Now, let it sit for about 3 weeks outside the refrigerator. You will see the effects of time. The apple gets rotten. That is the four basic dimensions. +--------+ ^ / /| | / / | | / / | HEIGHT / / | | / / | | +--------+ | V | | /+ | | / | | / And of course, the last dimension is depth. | | / (For thos of you who are jokers, I can't |________+/ draw time!) <--WIDTH--> Now, if this were a real graphic, instead of a text based graphic, this would look 3-D. I HOPE THAT THIS SMALL APP SHEDS SOME LITE ON THE SUBJECT.
