About

Version 3.5 restores the mouse control: if you want to take a flight in your own hand, grab the mouse, hold on its button, and move however you wish to. This is a pretty good way to check the speed of 3D rendering. The Venus window is not only movable and _full-screen_ zoomable, but also resizable. Click at the lower right corner (a resize box will show) and size the window _any_ way you wish. You can now load your own elevation map (and even supply your own colormap to color the pixels). The distribution has two sample files you can drop onto the application's icon. The README file in the distribution archive tells more details. The submission contains the source plus a compiled PowerMac application. BTW, the Venus flies through screens of various depths; although for the full-screen mode, it's better to set the monitor to 256 colors. Keywords: voxel 3D rendering, visualization, animation, elevation map, panning
