following sections provide a summary of the software and other materials you'll find on the CD.

Note

Some of the files provided on the CD are in zip compressed format. To work with these files you need an unzipping utility such as WinZip (www.winzip.com). •

Author-created materials

The example files used in the tutorials throughout the book are included in the “Chapter Example Files” directory. Within this directory are separate subdirectories for each chapter. Supplemental files such as models and images are also included in these directories. Animated scenes include a rendered AVI file of the animation. For each tutorial, the resulting example after all steps are completed has the word “final” in the filename. Using these final examples, you can compare the results to your own work.

Applications

The following applications are on the CD:

• Adobe Reader: A freeware application for viewing files in the Adobe Portable Document Format

Shareware programs are fully functional, free, trial versions of copyrighted programs. If you like particular programs, register with their authors for a nominal fee and receive licenses, enhanced versions, and technical support.

Freeware programs are free, copyrighted games, applications, and utilities. You can copy them to as many PCs as you like—for free—but they offer no technical support.

GNU software is governed by its own license, which is included inside the folder of the GNU software. There are no restrictions on distribution of GNU software. See the GNU license at the root of the CD for more details.

Trial, demo, or evaluation versions of software are usually limited either in terms of the time you can use them or the functionality they offer (such as not letting you save a project after you create it).

3D models

Viewpoint Datalabs and Zygote Media have provided sample 3D models. Many of these models were used in the tutorials, and you can find the complete set of models in the “3D Models” directory.

Troubleshooting

If you have difficulty installing or using any of the materials on the companion CD, try the following solutions:

• Turn off any anti-virus software that you may have running. Installers sometimes mimic virus activity and can make your computer incorrectly believe that it is being infected by a virus. (Be sure to turn the anti-virus software back on later.)

• Close all running programs. The more programs you're running, the less memory is available to other programs. Installers also typically update files and programs; if you keep other programs running, installation may not work properly.

• See the ReadMe file. Please refer to the ReadMe file located at the root of the CD for the latest product information at the time of publication.
