VISUAL DEMONSTRATION AVAILABLE:    `(D)_Convert_IFF-ILBM.demo`

NOTE: This demonstration will use the `ABC.pic` file included on DISK 1.

Convert IFF\ILBM lets you load an IFF graphics file (created in an IFF
paint program such as DeluxePaint III from Electronic Arts) and convert it
into a 3D object.

For best results, use Hi-Res, 640 x 400 mode and 2 colors (Black & White)
to create a matte image of the object you want to import.

The object which you load from the Convert IFF\ILBM requester will be
scanned.`Points`and`edges`will automatically be created for the outline
of the object.  

To add faces, you can either use the `Add Faces` option from the modes menu
or you can use the `Slice` function to cut out faces automatically from an
object such as a plane.
