I. About ISA v.1.0 Trial
========================

ISA is a VRML authoring tool that facilitates the creation of interactive and dynamic 3D scenes for the Web and includes user friendly visual supports through every step of the creative process. 

Use ISA to add the objects to the static scenes, to animate them and specify how the objects will interact between themselves and the user. The developed scene may be published on the World Wide Web. Anyone can visit and experience your 3D Web site using standard VRML97 browsers.

ISA includes features that help you work conveniently and quickly. 
Take a look at ISA's capabilities:

 - VRML97 compliance: you can import and export scenes and objects 
   in VRML 97 format as well as view created scenes in all major 
   VRML browsers.

 - ISA imports VRML 97 files and VCD files (Internet Space Builder  
   objects). Writes highly compact VRML files using gzip compression. 

 - ISA comes with a library of 3D models and sample 3D scenes to 
   help you quickly create rich environments. The Object gallery 
   also includes special group of System objects, that let the user 
   click objects to specify some sort of  behavior (for example, 
   turning on a light or opening a door as a result of click to an 
   object).

 - The ability for animation to change an object position and 
   orientation over time. 

 - Manipulating with objects both in the Perspective View and Plan 
   windows. Translation, Scale, Rotation, and Center operations with 
   objects can also be available directly in the Properties/Events 
   window.

 - Visual support for  objects representation in the Plan window.

 - Visual support for a user-defined object hierarchy in the Scene 
   Tree window.

 - Visual support for a connection between objects through output 
   and input events in the Routing Diagram window.

 - The  ability to create live video demonstrations of scenes 
   created with ISA by recording actions with AVI Recorder.

 - Characters gallery makes the Internet Scene Assembler ideal for 
   creating scenes including human forms with support for motion.

 - Capability of choosing the scene landscape from a set of 
   pre-defined landscapes. You can use any ISA object or ready VRML 
   scene as the scene environment (see Tools>Options>Set 
   Environment) to any newly created scene you are editing. 

 - The Samples folder includes the simplest examples that provide 
   a simple way to learn how
   to use ISA.

 - You can cut or copy an object onto the clipboard and paste it 
   into another place in your scene.

 - While creating, editing, and assembling your scene, you can 
   move the camera to a position, suitable for viewing object, by 
   clicking the only button.

 - Easy posting of VRML scenes on your Web page.

   Programs icon.
