1. Downloading and Installing 3Delight and 3Delight for Maya

Downloading and installing the software is done by following these simple steps:

Click on the download link of the software for your platform of choice. Go to http://www.3delight.com/en/index.php/step_0 to make the selection.

On the Windows platform, this will automatically launch the default installer; follow the steps of the installer to complete the installation. On Mac OS X, double-click on the downloaded package to perform the installation using the default installer. On Linux, decompress and un-tar the downloaded package and go to the main directory to execute the `install' script. An installation directory can be specified using the `--prefix' flag passed to the installation script (use install -h for help).

Following this installation, 3Delight will automatically be available when you start Maya. In the installation folder, you can find the following manuals:

- ReadMe.txt (release notes of the software)

- doc/InstallationGuide.pdf (this document)

- doc/3DelightForMaya-UserManual.pdf (main user manual)

- doc/3Delight-UserManual.pdf (user manual for 3delight standalone)

For using 3Delight as a standalone software, the programs (such as renderdl for rendering a RIB file and shaderdl for compiling a shader) are located in the bin sub-folder of the installation folder.

NOTE
To remove the software, simply remove the downloaded file and the folder that was created following the standard installation. On the Mac OS X platform, the folder is located in the `Graphics' sub-folder within the standard `/Application' folder.
