(1).-------------March 07, 2011------------------Ver 0.0.0.1
Now,the version of Nomad3D has not complete yet, 
but for some reasons, I release the code on SVN 
of sf.netthis version of Nomad3D just have 
little functions and can run the demo on Windows
 OS only, but it is a software rendering 3D 
Engine, but by now, this version may not call 
Engine:), it just have a complete 3D pipe-line 
and a software lighting plus a MS3D skeleton 
animation support.

The earlier future work, I'll add texture and 
gouraud support,and some other functions that 
a normal 3D engine has. Not so far!

=======HOW TO BUILD THIS VERSION OF DEMO=======
Go into the directory "Nomad3DTest_Win32" and 
open the Noamd3DTest.dsw with Visual C++ 6.0(the 
Windows version of Nomad3D, I'll move this 
project to VC2008 or above later),and compile 
it and run!

===============Acknowledgement=================
1. In this version, I used the MS3D model file 
which is from the book "Focus on 3D Model"'s 
source code, thanks the author!
