Three Ways' TriSpectives is the first major 3D application for Windows 95. One special modeling feature is IntelliShapes, which lets you drag and drop 3D shapes that know how to land and slide over each other. Another feature, SmartSnap, makes it easy to align, move, size and rotate IntelliShapes as it highlights and snaps them to tangencies, mid-points and edges. Create text from TrueType fonts, and add stickers and decals interactively. For more complex animations, use the hierarchical timeline editor to set start time, duration and other properties, and for jointed characters.
Lighting is just as easy with the convenient on-screen catalog.
Browsing and Building Cyberspace by Web visionary Mark Pesce. Mark's one of VRML's designers, so he knows his stuff, and what's more, he communicates it very well. Graphics Terms by Stevens. Now you can let your computer search for that obscure routine by key word, book table of contents, author name and contributor name, instead of wasting time paging through heavy textbooks. Programmers can learn how to extend the color support provided with QuickDraw and QuickDraw GX by using the Palette Manager to provide optimized color sets on limited-color displays, asking users for color choices with the Color Picker Manager, matching screen colors to printed output and scanned input with the ColorSync Manager, and more.
