intuitiv'3d installation process

Before installing intuitiv'3d, check NEXTSTEP version number :
intuitiv'3d  runs on NEXTSTEP v3.0 and NEXTSTEP v3.1 for NeXT and Intel-based computers.

Before installing intuitiv'3d 

1.	Decide which NeXT computer will be intuitiv'3d license server.
intuitiv'3d is a protected software which requires a license number.   
This license number is calculated for a specific computer on which you will install intuitiv'3d floating license server.
The floating license server manages multiple simultaneous accesses to the application.

·	If you are installing intuitiv'3d on a computer which is not linked to a 	network, install all intuitiv'3d packages on this computer.
·	If you are installing intuitiv'3d on a computer over a network, you can 	install intuitiv'3d license server on any computer in the network, not 	necessarily on the machine on which you will install - or run - intuitiv'3d. 

2.	Check space available on your hard disk.  
intuitiv'3d requires the following disk space :
License Server				:	0.31 	Mb
intuitiv3d						:	10.70 	Mb

1	Installing intuitiv'3d floating license server

You can install intuitiv'3d license server on any computer in the network. It does not necessarily have to be the machine on which you will install or run intuitiv'3d.

    C U B' X  S Y S T E M E S   S H I P S   i n t u i t i v' 3 d

PARIS, France, August 12, 1993 - Cub'x Systemes, developer of
Cub'X-Window, announced today the shipment of intuitiv'3d, the
ultimate 3d creation environment for NEXTSTEP Motorola and Intel.

intuitiv'3d is a professional 3d modeler and renderer which exploits
all the power of RenderMan to create astounding photo-realistic
images.

"intuitiv'3d ships in its first version after two years of development
and beta testing and already competes in functionalities, completion
and pricing with the leading 3d programs in the Macintosh and PC
markets," said Gerard Laurent, Cub'x Systemes General Manager.

"Because intuitiv'3d was developed under NEXTSTEP, we were able to
apply the object-oriented paradigm to 3d modeling in a way it was
never done before.  intuitiv'3d is also designed to expand and grow
with the user needs: as a modular environment it can be extended
progressively with the Modeler, ZZVolume and Mathematica modules
and will be soon complemented with the Motion capability.  Cub'x
Systemes has decided to offer academic institutions and students a
special pricing policy allowing them to access today the highest
quality 3d environment for NEXTSTEP."

- intuitiv'3d provides all the features required for a professional
3d solution:

Real-time smooth 3d perspective view. Virtual camera offering Swing,
Zoom, Move and Pan modes. Orthographic views with constraints and
grid. Direct manipulation or numerical entries for precise editing.
Distribution of shapes along lines, circles, squares or any 3d
mathematical function.

Import of RIB files as editable and reusable models. 25 Surface
and Volume primitives including Fractals, Mathematical patches and
real-life Mirrors.  Innate 2d drawing tools with rulers and grids
to create precise contours, cross-sections and paths as with existing
2d illustration tools like Illustrator or Virtuoso. Unlimited
Undo/Redo to navigate into the creative process. PostScript fonts
can be turned into editable outlines. Interactive Lathe, freeform
Sweep and multi-sections Loft to sculpt smooth shapes.

Unlimited number of lights with automated shadows. Generic light
objects for special effects like slide projector. Storable sets of
lights. Atmospherical effects like fog and depthcue.  Convert any
tiff or eps files for use as texture, bump, transparency or specular
maps. Maps can be accurately positionned onto objects with the
Texture coordinates tool.  Automated antialiazing, reflexions,
mirrors, refraction. Just specify which objects are mirror or
refractive and intuitiv'3d will handle everything for you ...
automatically.

Snapshot renderings displayed in real-time at screen to instantly
monitor shading effects. Render part or the whole scene, locally
or on the network, at any resolution to obtain full 32 bit
photo-realistic images.

- The power of NEXTSTEP and object-orientation makes it intuitive
and fast, to stimulate creativity:

"The way objects are easily manipulated and stored has no equivalent
in the 3d graphics industry, even on the leading systems," said
Vincent Courtois from Austral Design.  "The Metashader concept is
the most effective interface over RenderMan shaders I've ever seen.
Working with visual libraries of shapes and materials is invaluable
and intuitiv'3d can access all the existing libraries from PIXAR
or The Valis Group."

All intuitiv'3d objects icons can be dragged and dropped in the
Camera views, World browser, Library and Scrapbook: shapes, groups,
lights, shaders, display settings, shaders, Metashaders, light
sets, functions, rendering settings.  The World browser allows to
select, name, group, and move shapes as with files in the Workspace
Manager browser.

Library sections can be created by the user to store, organize and
retrieve frequently used design elements including 3d shapes,
lighing sets, materials, camera views, display or rendering settings.
The objects icons can be generated with the Icon panel for easy
visual retrieval. Cub'x provides ready-made libraries of shapes
and materials.

The Metashader object revolutionize Renderman shaders management.
A Metashader can be dropped on shapes to affect all its shading
parameters at a move: color, transparency, texture mapping, bumpiness,
area lighing, atmosphere, rendering speed and interpolation, texture
coordinates. Each individual shader can be fine tuned in the Shader
panel. The user can simply create its own Metashaders.  intuitiv'3d
comes with a library of more than 80 predefined Metashaders (including
17 new original shaders from PIXAR).

- intuitiv'3d is a modular 3d environment:

intuitiv'3d engine is a stand-alone solution for those who prefer
exploring intuitiv'3d large libraries of 3d clip art.

The Modeler module gives the user the power of building Lathe,
Sweep and Loft smooth shapes.

For scientists, the Mathematica Data link allows to connect to the
Mathematica server to capitalize Mathematica models with intuitiv'3d
shading, lighting and virtual camera features.

For architects, ZZVolume creative tools can be combinated with
intuitiv'3d rendering capabilities.
