provides acceleration services which support plug-and-play
accelerator cards. QuickDraw 3D is supported on Pentium(tm)
and Pentium Pro(tm) based computers running Windows 95(tm)
or Windows NT(tm) (versions 3.51 and 4.0) and PowerPC(tm)

Using QuickDraw 3D

The QuickDraw 3D Installation Program installs a folder
called QuickDraw 3D typically in your Program Files folder.
The QuickDraw 3D folder includes the following application
and 3D models that allow you to explore the 3D capabilities
of your computer: QuickDraw 3D Viewer version 1.5. This
application allows you to open and interact with QuickDraw
3D Metafiles ("3DMF" models). A number of 3DMF models
provided by Model Masters (www.interaccess.com/modelmaster),
Plastic Thought, Inc. (www.3d-active.com), Viewpoint
DataLabs International (www.viewpoint.com), and Zygote
(www.zygote.com).

You can access the QuickDraw 3D Viewer application from the
Start-Programs menu on your Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0
Taskbar, or if you are running Windows NT 3.51 you will find
an icon for the QuickDraw 3D Viewer in the QuickDraw 3D
program group of the Program Manager. From the QuickDraw 3D
Viewer you can open any QuickDraw 3D Metafile from the
File-Open menu or by dropping a 3DMF file icon onto an open
QuickDraw 3D Viewer window.

You can expect many new applications that use QuickDraw 3D
in the near future, including new versions of application
programs you may already own. Contact your software vendors
for more information about their plans to support this new
technology.
