3D DREAMS

The old slide ruler--an archaic bit of technology mashing up hard against some pretty beta feeling technology at times

This example uses alpha channel information to create opacity in the 3d object. This is/was a finicky little bit of functionality--or so it seemed at first. We found that setting your monitor to 16 bit was the most effective and reliable way of viewing 3dDreams work.

Opacity = an alpha channel color property:
set the color of member "slide_calc" to [#alpha:1.0] -- this sets the object to 100 percent opaque.
0.0 = 0 percent opacity
1.0 = 100 percent opacity
