Since this ZAM 3D CTP build was derived from our popular Swift 3D application, we have not yet updated the documentation to reflect the specifics of using ZAM 3D. The major functionality between Swift 3D and ZAM 3D are identical. The only difference between the two is that we removed the 'Preview and Export' tab from the ZAM 3D user interface, and you have to use 'File | Export' to create the XAML file. Since ZAM 3D CTP is pre-beta, Electric Rain is not offering direct support for the product.

Since this is Community Technology Preview pre-beta build of ZAM 3D, the final feature set, workflow and functionality will change based on your input and feedback. We would love to hear all your suggestions, comments or feedback, good and bad. Please send feedback and feature requests to zam3d@erain.com. We also invite you to join in the discussion about the product with other users at our ZAM 3D Forum, which will be consistently monitored by our development team.

To view the rendered XAML file, be sure you've installed the .NET 3.0 (formerly known as WinFX) and then use Internet Explorer to open the file, OR use WordPad to view the raw XAML code. NOTE: See the readme and ZAM 3D User Guide PDF for more advnace use of all the export options provided in ZAM 3D Feb 2006 CTP.

To view the rendered XAML file, be sure you've installed the .NET 3.0 Runtime Components and then use Internet Explorer to open the file, OR use WordPad to view the raw XAML code.

It's easy. Locate your old Swift 3D serial number through the 'About Swift 3D' Help Menu command in your program and then visit the store and choose Upgrade. If you're a Swift 3D v2, v3, or v4 owner you are entitled to receive a discounted upgrade. If you purchased Swift 3D v4 on or after April 1, 2005, you are entitled to a free upgrade. Our system will recognize your serial number as a recent purchase and automatically remove the upgrade charge if you qualify for a free upgrade.

No, this ZAM 3D CTP (Community Technology Preview) build is considered a pre-beta experimental / preview of the application. The application is far from being in a final form and will change and evolve over the coming months.

This preview build of ZAM 3D supports and works only with the .NET 3.0 (formerly known as WinFX) and Microsoft Expression Blend only, and DOES NOT support the previously released preview builds of Longhorn or WinFX. To download the latest Microsoft Community Technology Preview (CTP) build, visit http://msdn.microsoft.com/. No. ZAM 3D only requires Windows 98, 2000, XP, or Vista OS to run. However, the resulting XAML file exported with ZAM 3D will require the .NET 3.

No. This ZAM 3D CTP build was derived from our popular Swift 3D application for making 3D Flash (SWF) files, and not XAML files. Therefore, the capabilities, user interface, and feature set were carried over into this preview build. For this reason, some of its functionality may not cross-over or is not yet supported in the WPF Avalon class structure.

bull; Object texturing (note- a separate texture file is exported along with the XAML file and must be present when viewed within the Avalon environment.

Spot Lights imported from 3ds files or created within ZAM 3D are not yet supported in Avalon 3D. Therefore, we recommend deleting any Spot lights in your scene and replacing them with Point Lights, contained within the Lighting Trackball.

Support Which Implements Fast Transitions" ("SWIFT") is an Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC) that allows OTI to rapidly establish offices, hire staff, and disburse small grants to local organizations in priority conflict-prone countries.

A great deal of Perl/Tk documentation gets installed as part of the Tk extension building process. Hence, a great deal of documentation is probably residing on your computer already. The best place to start is with the first two entries in 'perldoc Tk'. It's worth installing ActivePerl just for its HTMLized documentation of Perl and its modules. The one book easiest to recommend is Lidie and Walsh's Mastering Perl/Tk, published in February 2002.

I'm sure you've noticed the ugly registration letters that you see on the bow of most boats under a certain size. Those are state registration letters, and they indicate that the vessel has been registered with a state, in the same way cars are. If your boat is over five tons (approximately 25 feet), there is an appealing alternative: Documentation. This is a procedure by which your vessel gets registered with the Federal Government, not the states.

Jeremy Hoyland of the UK quite understandably didn't appreciate the US-centric nature of the draft FAQ: One main comment, although rec.boats has a lot of Americans on it not all of us are, and things are different in the rest of the world. For instance in the UK a boat does not have to be documented, it is only a requirement in the outside world. If it is documented we have a choice between the SSR (Small Ships Register) and a full Lloyds cert.

Yes. Simply click the Load function to go to the file requester. PAP will automatically recognize a sequence of numbered frames as a clip. We support all the most popular formats, such as TGA, PNG, GIF, JPEG, TIFF, BMP and more. PAP understands most numbering schemes. The files could be named like this: name0001.ext, name0002.ext... or simply 1.ext, 2.ext... The imported frames will be placed in the blue layer and therefore colored monochrome blue.
