[Introduction]
This is a software that renders 4D hyperobjects in real-time; only for the purpose
of appreciation. An executable file can run by itself, without creating new files
or changing your registry.
[System Requirements]
This software has been tested on Windows 95, 98, 2000 and XP; 24-bit color mode
recommended.
[Notice]
The developer shall not be liable for any and all damages or losses from the use of
this software while every effort has been made to remove errors and bugs.
[Installation]
Copy the executable file 4D Real-Time Renderer.exe to the proper directory.
[Uninstallation]
Delete the executable file 4D Real-Time Renderer.exe.
[How to Start]
Double-click the executable file 4D Real-Time Renderer.exe.
[How to Close]
Click the close button on the top right corner.
[How to Use]
You first click one of the six radio buttons to select which hyperobject to dis-
play. Then click any of the rotation buttons: left-side ones for the rotation of
light sources and right-side ones for that of the hyperobject.
The letters on each button indicate which direction they rotate, e.g. [<<XY] means
the rotation from Y-axis to X-axis around ZW-plain.
You can rotate the light sources and one of the hyperobjects simultaneously. Click-
ing on the window area outside the buttons stops the rotations.
[Version History]
Ver. 1.0.0.1 Jun 19, 2005 First released version.
Ver. 1.1.0.1 Jul 17, 2005 Changed the time per frame, which now consists of render-
ing and waiting time and takes 0.05 seconds. In previous version it
took rendering time+waiting time of 0.01 seconds.
Ver. 1.2.0.1 Aug 23, 2005 Changed the drawing method to transferring the whole im-
age at once instead of pixel by pixel, which improves the performance
on slower PCs.
Ver. 1.3.0.1 Nov 17, 2005 Added Windows 95 and 98 compatibility.
