Readme for DMesh


-- About Dmesh --

DMesh is a mesh creation and deformation tool for use with 3D modeling, rendering and animation software. Its primary focus is the creation of smooth-surface mesh objects by applying surface distortions to standard 3D primitives. It can be used to create smooth-surfaced and texture-aware organic objects such as heads, arms and torso's, or for other more inanimate objects such as hanging ropes, flowing curtains, wrought iron fences, and other bent, twisted and distorted objects.

DMesh is NOT a public domain offering! 

As such you may use it for a short period for evaluation purposes, but after that time you must register if you wish to continue using it. The registration for private, non-commercial use of DMeshLite is free, but you must register if you wish to use it past the evaluation period. Please see the included license.txt and register.txt files for additional information.

As DMesh is a commercial product, there are some limitations as to it's use during the evaluation period (especially in the context of using it for commercial purposes.) Please refer to the license.txt file for licensing restrictions on the unregistered version.


-- Getting Started --

There is a QuickStart tutorial that will give a good overview of the basics of DMesh and how it works. There is also a section in the Appendix for "Keyboard and Mouse - Commands and Shortcuts". Every attempt was made to make these commands and shortcuts as intuitive as possible, but reading these sections will save you time in attempting to guess what they may be.

Those are the two newest documentation sections, and the other sections are a bit older. They do illustrate several advanced features, but please take with a grain of salt if screen-shots don't match exactly, and/or some menu item names are different. Please read the License and Register files for additional licensing and registration information.
