DESCRIPTION 
Microbe3D-demo: a binary that demonstrate the Microbe3D project	
Microbe3D is not yet finished nor released
See Microbe3D-Documentation-6-fr.rtf for more infos about the Microbe3D project	

What is Microbe3D ?
Microbe3D library: Alain THELLIER - Paris - FRANCE 
Microbe3D is small 3D engine that display directly 3D Wavefront .obj files
It will be maded as a .library for programmers
Microbe3D stand for MICRo .OBj Engine for warp3D
  
If you are a programmer and you want to have a nice 3D object (animated logo,etc...) 
in your Amiga app then Microbe3D is done for you

MOST IMPORTANT FEATURES 
Very simple to use : only 35 functions in Microbe3D v1
Load/Save directly Wavefront .OBJ 3D-objects   files 
Load/Save directly Wavefront .MTL 3D-materials files 
Support full material rendering & lighting
No need to know OpenGL nor Warp3D
Directly based on Warp3D so very fast
(dont use MiniGL nor StormMesa)
Can smooth objects (smart vertices-normals creation)
Can smartly reduce vertices usage in a 3D object
Can smartly reduce normals  usage in a 3D object
Can do env-cube mapping
Can do toon shading


LIMITATIONS
Only load Wavefront.OBJ files   ( a very common format)
Only load Windows .BMP textures ( a very common format)
Not yet optimized for speed nor memory usage
Only load RGB textures in Warp3D
