Read Me for Strata 3D, your deep content creation gear.

Welcome to the 3D revolution! You are the proud owner of an industrial-strength 3D modeling, rendering and animation software package.

Strata 3D is one of the first web-enabled software applications. Each time you launch Strata 3D, you will have access to all of the resources and information found at 3D.COM. And much of what is available at 3D.COM, the Virtual Reality Portal(TM) is free. This includes all of the information, tutorials, and examples you will need to learn to use Strata 3D. You can run the program and access a tutorial or a manual at the same time!

Of course, we hope you will like Strata 3D enough to purchase some of our exciting modeling and texture plug-ins, and possibly the full Strata 3Dpro. Or you might want some true 3D, stereoscopic glasses so you can be among the first to see 3D on the web. Or ... well never mind. Enough of the sale pitch.

Anyway, welcome to the world of 3D.
