History of dune/white_dune
==========================

"white_dune" continue the work of Stephen F. White on the 
program "dune".

As today (Thu May 31 15:55:58 CEST 2001), the sourcecode of dune 0.13 
(http://dune.sourceforge.net/download.html) has not been updated since 
more than a year, despite some useful patches and bugfixes with possible 
solutions has been publiced. 
In this situation we decided to continue the work as white_dune, giving
Stephen F. White the possibilty to continue his work at sourceforge.

WHAT IS THIS THING?
-------------------

Dune is a simple tool for the creation of VRML (Virtual Reality Modelling
Language).  Dune is a weekend project that went horribly, horribly wrong.
Dune is delicious and nutritious.  Dune is fun for the whole family.

WHY DUNE?
---------

I was looking for a sort of abstract word to give to this project,
so I closed my eyes, relaxed, and the most tranquil image i saw was a
softly rolling sand dune.  I'm open for suggestions if you have a
better name.

TESTED PLATFORMS
----------------
Dune has been built and tested on the following platforms:

MS Windows
----------
Windows95 (OSR2), Windows98, Windows NT 4.0, using Microsoft Visual
C++ 5.0 and 6.0.

Linux
-----
Linux 2.2.x, 2.3.x, using lesstif 0.89.4, Mesa 3.0, and g++/gcc 2.95.2 (the
version of egcs, 2.91.66, that ships with RedHat 6.1 will *not* work,
due to some template bugs).

SGI Irix
--------
Irix 6.5 (on an Octane MXE), using OSF/Motif and MIPSPRO CC v7.2.1.

Solaris
-------
Solaris 2.0 (?), using OSF/Motif and g++/gcc 2.95.2.

REQUIRED PACKAGES FOR UNIX
--------------------------
To build this package for Unix derivatives, you will need:

1)  A Posix-compliant Unix build environment.

2)  An OpenGL implementation.  If your operating system does not
    support it natively, you can use Mesa, the open source OpenGL
    workalike.  Mesa is available for download from:

        http://www.mesa3d.org/download.html

3)  libjpeg, the Independent JPEG Group's jpeg library.  see:

	http://www.ijg.org/
	ftp://ftp.uu.net/graphics/jpeg/

4)  A Motif implementation.  If Motif is not available on your OS, you
    can use the free GNU implementation, lesstif (tested with 0.89.4);
    see:

	http://www.lesstif.org/download.html

5)  OPTIONAL:  yacc/lex or bison/flex.
    Without them, you can still compile this package, but you will not
    be able to modify the VRML parser.

REQUIRED PACKAGES FOR MS WINDOWS
--------------------------------
To build this package for win32, you will need:

1)  Windows95 OSR2, Windows 98 or Windows NT 4.0.  The original
    release of Windows95 does not support OpenGL, so unless you
    see an "OpenGL32.DLL" in your windows system directory, you'll
    probably have to go to microsoft's site and download their
    software implementation (which leaves a lot to be desired in
    the performance department).
    
2)  libjpeg, the Independent JPEG Group's jpeg library.  see:

	http://www.ijg.org/
	ftp://ftp.uu.net/graphics/jpeg/

    This must be compiled as a DLL.  A makefile and distribution
    preconfigured to build jpeg.dll should be available from the same
    place that you got this package.

3)  OPTIONAL:  yacc/lex or bison/flex.
    Without them, you can still compile this package, but you will not
    be able to modify the VRML and resource file parsers.  I recommend
    the cygnus GNU WIN32 tools, available from
    http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin/download.html.

BUILD INSTRUCTIONS FOR UNIX:
----------------------------

To build it, type "configure" in the main directory, then (if all goes well),
"make".

BUILD INSTRUCTIONS FOR WIN32:
-----------------------------
Open the dune.dsp project file, and select "build" (?) from the build menu.

(For white_dune: Run the batchfile batch/nt.bat before, to generate a 
WIN32 matching config.h file. If you have the devIL libraries installed,
run batch/devil.bat).


README of white_dune
====================

White_dune is a low level VRML97 tool for Unix/Linux and M$Windows. It
can read VRML97 files, display and let the user change the scenegraph/fields.
Unlike most highlevel tools, it uses a lightning model based on the VRML97 
standard. 

Despite Dune/white_dune is not complete yet (especially in the 3D window),
it can be useful to edit VRML files.

Since version 0.25beta, white_dune has documentation how to work with
NURBS modelling. It is possible to create complicated (including not 
rounded IndexedFaceSet) shape objects with NURBS modelling in white_dune, 
but it can not compare with general purpose 3D modellers with VRML97 export 
like maya, 3D Studio MAX, Cinema 4D, wings3D etc.
Examples for open source 3D modellers with IndexedFaceSet VRML97 export
are wings3D, Art of Illusion or blender. Maybe a extra VRML97 exporter is 
needed for blender.

Under Unix/Linux white_dune has support for stereoscopic "toe in" view via
"quadbuffer" capable stereo visuals. 

Instead of shutterglases, you can also use a "XPO" box (stereo splitter) 
and a onewall (based on 2 beamers with polarised light filters and polarised 
light glases).

This has been successfully tested with the following configurations:

Computer      Operation System/X-Server   Graphics Card       Shutter Display

Intel PC      Linux/XIG DX-Platinum       Matrox G400         ELSA 3D REVELATOR

Intel PC      Linux/Nvidia/XFree86        PNY Quadro4 580GLX  2 Beamer CloneView

(*) use a "preemptive" Linux kernel (CONFIG_PREEMPT=y in /usr/src/linux/.config)

Please tell us, if you tested white_dune with stereoscopic view 
successfully on other systems.

To enable "quadbuffer" capable stereo visuals on different systems, you
can use (as root):

 - Linux/XIG DX-Platinum  

   $ Xsetup 

   to enable stereo in the grapics card menu. 

   Then start/restart the Xserver.


 - Linux/Nvidia/XFree86 (only for Quadro class Nvidia graphic cards)

   install Nvidias kerneldriver and XFree module
   edit the XF86Config file and add a line like

   Option "Stereo" "1" 
   Option "Stereo" "2" 
   Option "Stereo" "3" 
   Option "Stereo" "4" 

   to the Section "Device".

   Then start/restart the Xserver.


 - SUN Solaris   
   
   Type at the commandline:

   $ fbconfig -res stereo

   Then start/restart the Xserver.


 - SGI IRIX
   
   Type something like 

   $ /usr/gfx/setmon -n 1024x768_96s

   at the commandline.
   
   On SGI Indigo2 Impact machines you need to start/restart the Xserver.
   On more modern machines you can change this on the fly without root
   permissions.

Currently, white_dune is on its way to become a immersive vrml97 editor
with the possibilty to use 3D inputdevices.

This has been successfully tested with the following configurations:

Dimensions     Operation System   Support    Device  

3D             Linux              joystick    Micro$oft Sidewinder Pro

6D             Solaris            libsball    Labtec Spaceball 4000FLX (serial)

For more details how to use 3D inputdevices see the manpage and the
examples in docs/commandline_examples.
Please tell us, if you tested white_dune with a 3D input device successfully 
on other systems and send us the used commandline.

We also tested 2D joysticks under Linux and M$Windows sucessfully.

We use white_dune, to teach people how VRML97 works. 
We use it also as a simple animation tool and in situations, when a easy
change of a small scenegraph is needed (e.g. when you work with interaction,
especially drag sensors).

==========================================================================

Changed in white_dune Version 0.16:

 Initial png support from OpenVRML (OpenVRML is LGPL), don't trust your eyes 8-)

 SGI type ALT-mouse navigation, beware of your windowmanager 8-)

 You see better, what you type when changing fields

 dune do not eat up PROTO Definitions any longer

 dune do not eat up EXTERNPROTO Definitions any longer, 
     but default values of Fieldvalues are not read

 dune tries now to save it's contence to $HOME/.dune_crash_*_*.wrl, when
      older versions of dune would crash in some situations.

 two simple how to use exercises included, see docs/index.html

===========================================

Changed in white_dune Version 0.17:

 Normal Node in IndexedFacesets is displayed more correctly - still no 
  support for NormalsPerVertex 8-(

 Errors in configure.in (not present in version 0.15) hopefully fixed 8-(

 Write to files now checks for errors 

 Signalhandling should be now a bit more robust 

 some coredump on programexit fixed

 Minor changes in look of program

 Very invisible "better than nothing" Shape->Text Rending for Unix included 8-(

 Port back to Windows NT:
                          to compile, you may want to copy config.h.nt
                          to config.h, execute usebison.bat and useflex.bat
                          and use dune.dsw
===========================================

Changed in white_dune Version 0.18:

 initial support to read and write X3D files via the nist.gov 
 X3D translators. 
 Use at your own risk !
 To avoid dataloss, the temporary .wrl files are kept in the directories 
 x3dv2/test and /tmp

 Warning: Currently the translators fail to produce valid VRML97 code for some
 rare used nodes like VisibilitySensor or Collision.
 Currently dune need valid code to work.
 see README.x3dtranslators

 writing of MFInt32 data are written in one line till -1 (if any)

 avoid too near numbers in channelview at width 1280 

 optional use saxon (faster) instead of the x3dv2 nist.gov X3D translator

 coredump reason in motif/tree.c deleted
  
 usage of stdarg corrected

 "quadbuffer stereo" support (no "split screen stereo" !): 
 "Stereobrutality" till there is a 3D Pointer 8-(

 can be temporary switched off by pressing Mousebutton 2 or "s" on the
 keyboard 

 commandline arguments to start dune with matching distance eye - eye and 
 distance eye - screen or nonstereo mode

 manpage included
