System Buttons

The system buttons are located in the top right corner of the screen and let you save, load, clear and quit the program.

	Clear
	Erases all coloring, to start over again.
	Load
	Loads previously saved colors.
	Save
	Saves the scene colors.
	Quit
	Leaves Splash3D and returns back to windows.

 

Colors and Patterns

On the right hand side is a toolbar that provides you with a selection of colors or fill patterns.

Clicking on the tab at the top of the tools you can select if you want the color tab (red tab) or the pattern tab (brown tab).

Status and Movement

Along the bottom and the bottom right of the screen are the status and movement buttons.

	Color and Pattern
	Just below the colors and patterns area, and over the duck, is a small window that shows the color and fill pattern you are currently painting with.
	Camera Movement
	The blue arrows move your around the scene in 3D, letting you explore it in more detail, and take a closer look at things.
	Change Scene
	The green arrows at the bottom switch you from scene to scene (the trial version only has 1 scene so these buttons will not do anything).

 

Advanced Features

If you right click (alternate click) on an object in the scene, your brush picks up the pattern and color of that object. This can save you time from flipping between the colors and patterns palettes.

 

Sound and Music

The sound and music setting can be modified using the buttons provided bellow.

When they are used, on-screen icons on the bottom of the screen will show up, to illustrate what you have done, then disappear after a few seconds.
