 INTRODUCTION:
   This simple windows program allows for importing of 3D model files (DXF format) or
   2D image files (BMP format).
   Imported 3D models are given the proper slant for Furcadia and can then be rotated 360 degrees
   and resized to get the proper look.
   They can be modified further by selecting the direction of the light source and degree of
   sunless side shading. Shadow length can be selected and enviromental effects such as snow or
   mossy growth can also be added.
   Imported 2D images can be adjusted for size but not rotated. You also can not add sunless side
   shading to an imported 2D image. You can however select the direction of the light source and
   cast a shadow or apply the eviromental effects if you wish. Shadows cast from the 2D images are
   very rudimentary but should give satisfactory results.

 IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
   The background of an imported 2D image should be one solid color.!! The upper left most
   pixel of the imported image is assumed to be the background (and therefore transparent)
   color.!!
