CONFIGURING AUTOSHADE AND RENDERMAN

1. Set the environment variables using the DOS SET command to where the
   AutoBOOST driver resides. For example, if AutoBOOST is in driver C:,
   directory BOOST, then the following commands would be used:

	SET DSPADI=C:\BOOST\BOOST256.EXP
	SET RCPADI=C:\BOOST\BOOST256.EXP
	SET RDPADI=C:\BOOST\BOOST256.EXP

2. Start AutoShade with the /R command line option:

	C:\AUTOSHADE>SHADE /R <Enter>

   AutoShade program will then ask several questions about the devices being
   used. The following are related to the AutoBOOST driver.

3. From the Select display device, select the P386 Display Device Interface
   display driver.

4. From the Select rendering display device, select the P386 Display Device
   Interface rendering driver.

   Do the display and rendering devices share a single
   screen (default=NO):Y <Enter>

   Does FLIPSCREEN require a redraw (default=NO):Y <Enter>

The rest of the questions are answered according to the type of the pointing and
hardcopy devices being used.



CONFIGURING 3D-STUDIO

When configuring 3D-Studio, it is strongly recommended that the default driver,
320 x 200 256 colors, is used for Material Editor. This is because Material
Editor requires 256-color modes with color lookup tables. It is also recommended
that for 32K-color mode, the Main Display also uses default at 640 x 480 16
colors. This will improve editing speed.

Follow the steps below to configure 3D-Studio:

1. Delete the configuration file 3DADI.CFG.

2. For 3D-Studio 1.X users, edit the file 3DS.SET, so that device name after the
   DEFAULT-DISPLAY and MAIN DISPLAY definitions are set to the following:

	DEFAULT-DISPLAY = "RCPADI"

	;MAIN-DISPLAY =

	;MATERIAL-DISPLAY =

   For version 2.0 users, use the following:

	RENDER-DISPLAY = RCPADI

	;MAIN-DISPLAY =

	;MATERIAL-DISPLAY =

   Note that in the first case there are quotes around the name RCPADI.

3. Set the environment variable RCPADI using the DOS SET command, to where
   the AutoBOOST driver resides.

	SET RCPADI=C:\BOOST\BOOST256.EXP



FOR USERS OF AUTOCAD RELEASE 12

The current drivers (up to 256-color resolution) also operate with AutoCAD R12.
Note that in order to work with R12, the proper EXP file must be renamed and
copied to driver directory. For example:

	COPY C:\BOOST\BOOST256.EXP C:\ACAD12\DRV\RCBST256.EXP

The new file name must start with characters RC.
