| VistaPro a quick introduction |
When VistaPro is first loaded, it starts out with a landscape we have loaded for you. Although it's not very interesting, let's take a quick look at it.
Locate the Render button at the lower left hand corner of the Lower Control Panel. Move the mouse pointer to the Render button. Press and release the left mouse button to activate the Render button.
You should now see a sequence of status messages on the screen in the blue area immediately above the topographic map. VistaPro needs to make some calculations before drawing. This process will take just a short bit.
After a few seconds you should see the screen switch to the View screen. At first it will be black, then you will see Vistapro draw the sky and ground. Then it will draw the landscape. If you look closely, you will see the landscape begin to render from the furthest point of view right up to the landscape that is nearest to you.
Congratulations! You have just rendered your first Vistapro image!
To switch back to the Control Panels and topographical map, just click on the left mouse button and you will be returned to your work screen with your two landscape view ports and control tabs. |
