Moonlight Creator
Copyright (C) 1996-1998 By Stephane C.F. Rehel
Email: rehel@kluster.com
WWW : http://www.cybersociety.com/moonlight/
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Moonlight Creator is an environment dedicated to virtual creation.
It is based on OpenGL and does 3D modelling and rendering for now.
Moonlight is distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License.
It comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY. This is free software, and
you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions.
See the LICENSE file for details.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Options
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Run "moonlight -h" for displaying the options list.
Interface options are:
-h This message
-v, --verbose Verbose mode.
-gamma <gamma> Specify gamma correction (default is 1)
-mlrc <file> Specify ML resource file
-fs Run full-screen (default)
-debug Don't run full-screen
-display <server> Run on this X server (default is :0)
Moonlight is configured for a gamma value of 1.7. If your Xserver
(or your video driver under Windows) doesn't run with gamma 1.7, you
can emulate this by specifying the option "-gamma 1.7"
The "-mlrc" option can be useful for Windows users since they don't have
the HOME environment variable defined (most of the time).
See RESOURCE_FILE.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note for the Windows version users
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Moonlight has been successfully tested under Windows 95. It should run
under Windows NT as well.
Example: if you have installed ML in c:/moonlight, and if your video
driver doesn't gave a gamma correction, you should run ML as:
moonlight.exe -gamma 1.7 -mlrc /moonlight/moonlightrc
Use Alt-F9 if you want to iconify the application.
The required DLLs are:
CYGWINB19.DLL from Cygnus-Win32 beta-19 DLL
OPENGL32.DLL from Microsoft OpenGL 1.1
GLU32.DLL from Microsoft OpenGL 1.1
Careful: Moonlight needs a 3-buttons mouse! You can emulate the middle
button (the Y coordinate) by pressing SHIFT+CONTROL+(any button). You
also can buy a 3-buttons mouse.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note for the Linux version users (running the binary distribution)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
For running Moonlight binary under Linux, you need Mesa 2.6 or later:
% ldd moonlight
libMesaGL.so.2 => /usr/lib/libMesaGL.so.2
libMesaGLU.so.2 => /usr/lib/libMesaGLU.so.2
libXext.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6.0
libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6.0
libm.so.5 => /lib/libm.so.5.0.7
libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5.4.17
Since version 0.0.2, libpthreads-1.60.4 from libc-5.4.38 is staticaly
included in the executable.
Mesa-2.3 has a bug that makes dialogs become black sometimes. Please
use Mesa-2.4 or later.
If you use a 16-bbp screen, you can set the MESA_NO_DITHER environment
variable to speed-up Mesa rendering.
Example: if you have installed Moonlight in ~/moonlight, and if your
X server doesn't have a gamma correction, you should run ML as:
moonlight -gamma 1.7
Use Alt-F9 if you want to iconify the application. See the note about
Windows Managers under X-Window.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note for new users: interface philosophy
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Moonlight is a full-screen application. You should use at least a
1024x768 screen resolution or higher. It runs with 8 bits displays,
but 16 bits or higher are preferable.
How to use it: the Mode-keys
Clicking on a 3D window does nothing. You have to tell Moonlight to use
a mode. A mode defines the type of action you want to do. Use the mouse
to perform the action. You enter a mode by pressing its associated
mode-key.
Example: The Select mode-key is Space. For selecting an object:
+ press Space key,
+ select the object with the mouse,
+ release Space.
Mode-Key Action-Type
~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~
o Orbit camera about the focus point
p Walk forward of backward
z Zoom/Unzoom (Btn2), Pan (Btn1)
Space Select object (or area for raytracing)
Backspace Delete object
h Hide/Unhide object
i Get object information
d Duplicate an object
Alt-d Instantiate an object
f Set hierarchy (Select child and then its father)
x Scale selection
Alt-x Coord. Scaling (Btn1=X,Btn2=Y,Btn3=Z)
c Rotate selection (get a headache)
Alt-c Coord. Rotation (Btn1=X,Btn2=Y,Btn3=Z)
v Translate selection
Alt-v Coord. Translation (Btn1=X,Btn2=Y,Btn3=Z)
u Undo (Btn1=undo,Btn3=redo)
r Refresh screen (no mouse action)
C Orient Z axis of an object (Btn1=-Z,Btn3=+Z)
(still doesn't work very well...)
t Tag vertices (Btn1=toggle,Btn2=select,Btn3=unselect)
and go to VERtex modelling.
g Tag polygon by ray-casting and go to POLygon modelling.
(Btn1=toggle,Btn2=select,Btn3=unselect)
a Edit object material
ESC Escape current mode if any.
Careful: you can work on different modelling components:
the object (OBJ), the vertex (VTX) or the polygon (POL).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Under X-Window: Moonlight and window-managers
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I suggest you to put Alt-F9 as the iconify'ing key in your window manager
settings. If you're running fvwm or compatible, add to your .fvwmrc,
.fvwm2rc, .fvwm2rc95, .steprc:
Key F9 WISFT12 M Iconify
Since Moonlight is a full screen application, this binding is usefull
when ML freezes in infinite loop or in a heavy computation.
About Enlightenment: this window manager seems not to allow fullscreen
application. To be followed after the next release of this
great environment (May 28 1998).
Don't forget that Moonlight removes key auto-repeat on your X server.
If it is abnormally killed, use:
xset r
for setting key auto-repeat again.
Windows users: this key is internaly handled by Moonlight.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Moonlight databases
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
See DATABASES file.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
About the converter
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Moonlight executable also includes a command-line converter.
To use it, use:
"moonlight -convert [options] <infile_to_convert_from>"
Converter options are:
-db <database_path> Specify a custom database to write in (optional)
-v Verbose mode
-rv Reverse polygons
-dxfl2o Convert DXF layers to objects
-nw Don't write. For testing.
Moonlight converter is able to read the following formats:
OFF : extension .off
DXF : extension .dxf
3DS ascii: extension .asc
This converter is only usable in command line for stability issues.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Development
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Moonlight Creator is developed under Linux with Mesa.
Windows version has been compiled with Cygnus-Win32 tools Beta-19.1,
Microsoft OpenGL 1.1, and Windows-95.
About 180K lines of C++, >600 classes.
