What does that mean? Well, using Render-Boy's simple graphic user interface, you can create 3D designs in a truly what-you-see-is-what-you-get (WYSIWYG) point&click fashion. You can specify how design surfaces should look (dull, shiny, mirrored, color, texture, etc) and add working light sources to illuminate your design. Then, in one step, you tell Render-Boy to "render" it, which means create a photo-realistic image (or even an animation!) by mathematically tracing the rays of light around your design. You will get shading, shadows, refelections, refractions, glinty spots, even fog, and all of this is 100% automatic.

I have some homemade aps that run fine in OS7 but not in OS8 or OS9. I can't run OS7 on my G3. Is there any trick that might make my aps run? The aps are large technical things that could not easily we rewritten at this time. I seem to remember an article on this subject somewhere, but can't find it.
