The tools included with this special version of NeonJax3D allow anyone to create their own 3-D screensavers and share them with others!

DX7\NeonJax3D.scr DirectX 7 version of NeonJax3D
DX7\NeonJax3D_DX7.txt Documentation for DX7 NeonJax3D

The DirectX 3 version of NeonJax3D is for users of Windows NT 4.0. Users of all other operating systems (Windows 95/98/Me, Windows 2000, Windows XP) should use the DirectX 7 version.

The only feature missing from NeonJax3D in the DX3 version is the ability to view the 3D demo in simulated three-dimensional mode with 3D LCD goggles. Using the DX7 version of NeonJax3D and an Nvidia-based video card with compatible LCD goggles such as the ELSA 3D Revelator (TM) glasses, the user may activate the Stereo 3D mode from the NeonJax3D settings and view the 3D demo in true 3D. Further instructions regarding this function are available in the NeonJax3D Direct X 3 Screen Saver and NeonJax3D Direct X 7 Screen Saver manuals.

Both included versions of the NeonJax3D screen saver have the ability to load and display user-created 3D demo files. These files have the '.J3D' file extension and are generated by the tools provided in the NeonJax3D development kit (SDK). Further instructions regarding this function are available in the NeonJax3D Direct X 3 Screen Saver and NeonJax3D Direct X 7 Screen Saver manuals.
