	CyberMesh for Windows V1.1  Release notes
********************************************************************

Welcome!

This file contains a description of the contents of this disk
and installation instructions for CyberMesh.

The CyberMesh disk contains the following items:

1) Two different versions of CyberMesh:

	CYBERM.8BE
	This is the full working version of CyberMesh for computers 
	with and without a math coprocessor.
	
	CYBERMDM.8BE
	This is a demo version of CyberMesh.  Feel free to give this
	demo version to anyone. It is functionally identical to 
	CyberMesh, but saving is disabled.  This is included so that
	your friends and associates can try out CyberMesh to see if
	it is useful for them without buying it blind.  The plugin
	contains ordering information for the fully operational version.
	If you give away a demo version, please include the INI, HLP 
	and PSD files as well.  Please do not give away fully functional 
	copies of CyberMesh.


2) CyberMesh support files:

	CMESH.HLP
	This is CyberMesh's help file.  It describes how to use 
	CyberMesh and what the controls and settings do.  It is 
	accessed by clicking on the Help button in either CyberMesh's 
	main dialog or CyberMesh's About box.  It should be copied 
	into your WINDOWS directory.
	
	CMESH.INI
	This is CyberMesh's settings file.  It contains default values
	for Cybermesh's parameters.  This is a text file and may be 
	edited with any text editor.  There are comments in the file 
	that explain what the parameters are and what the values mean.
	Normally, it is not necessary to edit this file.


3) Example height fields:

	ISLAND.PSD is a rectangular mesh of an island terrain map.
	
	HEAD.PSD is a cylindrical mesh, that is proportioned correctly 
	with a radial offset of zero and a mesh altitude of about 65.
	
	EARTH.PSD is a spherical mesh that looks good with a radial 
	offset of about 100 and a mesh altitude of between 1 and 20 
	depending on how thick you want the continents to look.  
	It is also intended to be used with "don't generate polygons 
	for black pixels" turned on, and used with a lower resolution 
	sphere in the middle to reduce the polygon count.  You can 
	create such a sphere by making a small image of a single gray 
	level, and exporting that as a spherical mesh.


============================================
Upgrading from earlier versions of CyberMesh
============================================

If you are upgrading from an earlier version of CyberMesh, you will need
to remove the old copy first, since it will have a different name and
the installation will not delete the old one. If you have a math coprocessor,
the old version to delete will be called CYBERMFP.8BE.  If your computer 
does not have a math coprocessor the old version to delete will be called
CYBERMEM.8BE.  CyberMesh now automatically detects the presence of a math 
coprocessor, and uses it if available, so separate versions are not necessary.

If you do not delete the old version, when you launch Photoshop,
you will see two menu items both called "CyberMesh", and you won't know 
which version is being run when you select it.

=========================================
Installing CyberMesh on your hard disk
=========================================



	1)	Copy CyberMesh into the same directory as your 
		other Photoshop plugins.  
		Typically this is: C:\PSHOP\PLUGINS.  

	2)	Copy the CMESH.INI and CMESH.HLP files to your WINDOWS 
		directory.

CyberMesh is an Export plugin and will appear in the Export 
submenu of the File menu in Photoshop.
