trueSpace 5 NOTES
*********************

Due to a restriction in trueSpace you can't load a 
PyroCluster scene with a double click from windows 
explorer! If you do so, the result will be a 
corrupted scene file!

Due to a restriction in trueSpace you can't load a 
PyroCluster scene with the drag and drop feature. 
If you do so, the result will be a corrupted scene file!

Due to a restriction in trueSpace you can't use the copy 
function of trueSpace on PyroCluster or particle 
system objects. If you do so, the result may be 
unpredictable.

Due to a trueSpace restriction you can't interactively move
glued Particle and PyroCluster objects in the trueSpace 
viewport. If you do so, the correct position result 
will be shown when the mouse button is released.

Due to a trueSpace restriction you can't use 
trueSpace volume lights to make them cast shadows 
from PyroCluster volume effects.

You can't use deflectors on static (speed 0) particle 
systems, this is because of internal PyroCluster 
system restrictions. Particles must always move to 
create a proper collision detection.

Due to a trueSpace restriction you can't use manual
record mode for any of the PyroCluster particle systems.
Instead you must use AUTORECORD to animate particle 
emitters.


Many thanks go to Jim Geier for supplying the 
Lab1.scn file! And also Terry Halladay for his 
great Images!
