MDLView\Movie DOCUMENTATION

Suggested subdir: /packages/idgames2/utils/graphics_edit/model_tools


Introduction:

MDLView and MDLMovie are two applets which allow quake model files to be directly included in a webpage.
MDLView is a fully interactive java render for quake models.
MDLMovie is non-interactive. Images are generated when the applet is encountered by the browser and the user
can just stop or start the animation.
Expect to see support for quake2 models soon.

Copyright stuff:

MDLView and MDLMovie may be used for no charge. MDLView and MDLMovie may be freely distributed but only
under the name of MDLView and only with aknowledgement of T. J. Grey (tjg1@ch.ic.ac.uk) as author.
You may use the classes that comprise MDLView and MDLMovie but credit should be given where it is due,
particularly for classes which implement the getAuthorInfo() method. 

In MDLView.zip:

The two most important files contained in the zipfile you download from this site are MDLView.jar and quake.pal.
The file quake.pal is just an ascii palette file containing the quake palette. MDLView.jar is a java archive file
and contains all the java classes needed to run both MDLView and MDLMovie. You do not need to unarchive
MDLView.jar to use the applets and I would recommend you leave intact.
Also included in MDLView.zip is:

Manual.txt- Full instructions.

Test.html- An example page showing a modified version of the quad damage model as an interactive rendered model
           and as a movie.

quaddama.mdl- A slightly modified version of the quake quad damage model.

quakeOld.pal- This is the original quake palette- quake.pal has been gamma-corrected
