1. Introduction

Art of Illusion is a free, open source 3D graphics studio.  It combines
modelling, texturing, animation, and rendering in one application, with
advanced features which compare favorably to those found in many commercial
programs.

Art of Illusion is written entirely in Java.  It should (in theory) work
under any Java Virtual Machine (JVM) which is compatible with Sun's Java
Development Kit (JDK) 1.4 or later.  Instructions on how to run the
program under various operating systems, as well as the complete source
