There is a free download available from the 3D-Album home page that your friends and family can download and run which will allow them to view your screensaver and your application. Look for it in the bottom left corner of the home page. The button is labeled "Visvivia Player Free Download". (Note - if you left the "exclude vaengine.dll" option blank in the BUILD dialog, then they will not need to install the visvivia player).
There are postings that talk about how to share your screensaver, but rather then search for them just do this: Start your 3D-Album program up, click on CREATE and open any style, click on the BUILD, and then click on the "?" in the BUILD dialog box. This will open up the program's HELP page. Browse down and click on the "COPY SCREEENSAVERS" link.
For sharing your application, just copy ALL of the files and folders that were created when you built the application to a CD. The CD will autostart and if you included the vaengine.dll link it will run with no problems. If you didn't include the vaengine.dll link, then have your friends and family download the free player.
One drawback to both the screensaver and the application is that your friends and family's PC must have a video card capable of supporting OpenGL. Otherwise they'll get poor results. |
