The user may create 3D demos by writing a text description of the 3-D scene in a simple C-like language created for NeonJax3D. There are 5 examples provided which collectively demonstrate all of the features of the NeonJax3D engine. Users may take objects from the examples given or create their own objects for their demos. The NeonJax3D World Compiler is used to validate and translate these Scene Description Files into binary J3D files. The NeonJax3D screen saver can load and display the 3D demos from the binary J3D files.

The "Compiler\" directory contains the NeonJax3D World Compiler executable and documentation. Refer to the NeonJax3D World Compiler Manual for more information.

The "PathFind\" directory contains a special NeonJax3D Path Crawler which is a tiny assembly language program that can read BMP images and create a special text description of all the curves found. The output of this program can be cut and pasted into a Scene Description File and used in the "Hollywood Marquee" effect for the object which is composed of 1,000 Points of Light. Refer to the NeonJax3D Path Crawler Manual for more information.

The "Saver\" directory contains the actual NeonJax3D screen saver. There are two versions included: one for DirectX 3, and one for DirectX 7.The DirectX 3 version of NeonJax3D is for users of Windows NT 4.0. Users of all other operating systems (Windows 95/98/Me, Windows 2000, Windows XP) should use the DirectX 7 version. The only feature missing from NeonJax3D in the DX3 version is the ability to view the 3D demo in simulated three-dimensional mode with 3D LCD goggles. Using the DX7 version of NeonJax3D and an Nvidia-based video card with compatible LCD goggles such as the ELSA 3D Revelator (TM) glasses, the user may activate the Stereo 3D mode from the NeonJax3D settings and view the 3D demo in true 3D. Further instructions regarding this function are available in the NeonJax3D Direct X 3 Screen Saver and NeonJax3D Direct X 7 Screen Saver manuals.

The "Worlds\" directory contains the example Scene Description Files, the example binary J3D output files, and the batch files used to compile and test the examples. Also in this directory is the "TheScenes.txt" file which offers descriptions of each of the 3D examples and instructions for modifying and testing them. Finally the text file "Torus3D.bas" is also included. This file is a QuickBasic 5.1 (TM) program which was used to generate the 3-D data for the doughnut objects in Example #5. It may be modified and used to generate 3D data for other objects. Refer to the NeonJax3D Example Scene Manual for information on creating your own Scenes.
