INTRODUCTION
------------

This directory is usually included in the Mesa demos distribution or
in the GLUT distribution.

I have written the demos included in this directory mainly for showing
the capabilities of the Mesa library when using the Voodoo driver.
However all the demos are written using the GLUT and OpenGL so they
work with any GLUT/OpenGL platform (tested: Linux+Mesa+Voodoo driver,
Linux+Mesa+X11 driver, Win95+Mesa+Voodoo driver and SGI Onyx IR thanks
to Mark Kilgard).

All the demos make an heavy use of texture mapping, blending, etc. so
you _need_ some kind of hardware support for the OpenGL otherwise they
will run at ~1fps. You need also a OpenGL 1.1 compliant library.

You can find some screenshot of these demos at
http://www-hmw.caribel.pisa.it/fxmesa/fxdemos.hmtl

Write me if you find some bug in the demos.

A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DEMOS
--------------------------------


IPERS
-----

Sources: ipers.c image.c

A nice spinning fractal object.


RAY
---

Sources: ray.c

I'm using ray tracing to dynamically generate texture maps with
specular, diffuse, shadows, and mirror colors. Each frame the texture
maps of the plane and of the sphere are partially updated.  With this
technique you can obtain true mirrors, shadows, specular highlights,
bump mapping, etc. in realtime.  This demo is really CPU intensive
(~25fps on a PentiumII@300MHz with a Pure3D).  Support on-the-fly
switching between fullscreen and in-window rendering under Linux/Mesa
(start your X server in 16 bpp mode and press the spacebar).


TUNNEL
------

Sources: tunnel.c image.c sources.c
Data: bw.rgb tile.rgb

The model was designed and prelighted with Alias|Wavefront
PowerAnimator V8. Triangle strips were built with a tool written by me
and then statically included in the sources.  This demo doesn't
require the ZBuffer and use antialiased polygons.  Support on-the-fly
switching between fullscreen and in-window rendering under Linux/Mesa
(start your X server in 16 bpp mode and press the spacebar).


TUNNEL2
------

Sources: tunnel2.c image.c sources.c
Data: bw.rgb tile.rgb

The some tunnel demo but with two output channels. A nice
example of the Mesa/Voodoo support for multiple boards in
the some PC.


TEAPOT
------

Sources: teapot.c image.c dteapot.c shadow.c
Data: bw.rgb tile.rgb

The shadow is drawn projecting the teapot geometry over the plane. All
other light effects are drawn using the standard OpenGL capabilities.
Support on-the-fly switching between fullscreen and in-window
rendering under Linux/Mesa (start your X server in 16 bpp mode and
press the spacebar).


FIRE
----

Sources: fire.c image.c
Data: s128.rgb tree2.rgb

The demo use a small particle system to draw some nice visual effect.
You can interactively change many parameters of the particle system
and you can choose the number of particles at the startup ('fire
4000').  This demo should be called fountain.  Support on-the-fly
switching between fullscreen and in-window rendering under Linux/Mesa
(start your X server in 16 bpp mode and press the spacebar).


TERRAIN
-------

Sources: mesaland.c

This demo is base on another demo written by Mikael SkiZoWalker.  I
have added the capabilities to freely fly around, view culling and
some nice color.  Support on-the-fly switching between fullscreen and
in-window rendering under Linux/Mesa (start your X server in 16 bpp
mode and press the spacebar).


GLTEST
------

Sources: gltest.c

This is a simple benchmark suite that I'm using in the development of
the Mesa/Voodoo driver. Type 'gltest >my.res' and you will get some
data about the performances of your OpenGL. Follow the results with my
PC (Linux+Mesa-2.6+PentiumII@300MHz+Pure3D):

PALTEX and GLBPALTX
-------------------

Sources: paltex.c and glbpaltx.c

The PALTEX example was written by Brian Paul and it shows the
capabilities of the GL_EXT_paletted_texture extension.  I have written
the other example in order to show the capabilities of the
gl3DfxSetPaletteEXT() (it used only by GLQuake and Quake2).
