10 s3D \__________/________/
18 Many people, have been fascinated by 3D Desktops. There were/are projects like
19 3dwm and SUNs Looking Glass among others which try to replace your daily
20 boring 2D Desktop. However, 3D GUIs are still hard and uncomfortable to use.
22 S3d unfortunately does not change that, but gives you a big playground to try
23 your own ideas of 3D GUIs. With the simple API you can easily implement own
24 interfaces without caring about writing object interaction, model loading or
25 3D widgets yourself. Many 3D applications can coexist in the same space
26 (unlike usual OpenGL apps), just as the windows on your screen. And who knows,
27 maybe we can really have a complete usable 3D desktop someday? :)
37 I've written this program to satisfy myself (in some way), so please don't
38 assume that it could have ANY USEFULNESS. I just published it because I
39 thought someone might find it interesting, but there is no warranty for
40 anything. if you find bugs or you have ideas what you would like to see
41 implemented, or patches, please drop me a line.

50 COPYING for the GPLv2 and COPYING.LESSER for the LGPLv2.1 are included too.
51 if I'm mistaken in any ownership-concerns, please tell me and don't be
52 too mad at me, as I have had no idea of licensing at all.
