This program will run for 14 days after installation .  After that period, please purchase a licence for AC3D at www.ac3d.org.  Licensed users get extra plugins that add more functionality and support for additional file formats (model and texture).  A Software Development Kit with plugin source code is also available.


To start AC3D, change in to the ac3dlx directory (cd ac3dlx) and type:

./ac3d (or ./ac3ds)

Sample 3D models are included and are accessable via File->Object-library.



There are two Linux binaries for AC3D supplied:

ac3d - loads  OpenGL shared libraries if possible.
Try this one first.  If you have accelerated OpenGL graphics librarys installed, AC3D will use them.

ac3ds - statically linked with Mesa libraries.  This should work on most systems.  Use this if you have trouble running 'ac3d'


Email support @ ac3d.org if you have any problems with the trial.
