Thanks for installing Art of Illusion!
======================================

We hope that you find the program useful and enjoyable to work with.
We've tried to make the interface intuitive and easy to understand, so
don't be afraid to just launch AoI and start experimenting!


Starting the program:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In this folder, you will find a launcher that starts AoI.

- On Windows, this is `ArtOfIllusion.exe`
- On Linux, there is `aoi.sh` (Your file manager needs to be set to
  run shell scripts, rather than opening them for editing)
- If you've downloaded the AppleOS `.dmg` file, just move the
  `Art Of Illusion 3.2.0.app` to your applications folder and launch
  it like any other application


I'd like detailed documentation & tutorials:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Go to http://artofillusion.org/documentation 

There is a detailed manual, as well as several focused tutorials. A
common place to start is the hourglass tutorial, which gives a simple
introduction to many parts of the program.

What's new?
~~~~~~~~~~~

Returning users should find the interface and basic tools quite
familiar. A list of the latest updates is included in the `Changelog`
file in this directory.
