Obtaining and running the demo

Obtaining the demo

The demo binary is included in the main SDK archive (for both full and 'testbed only' version), which can be obtained from the PathEngine downloads page.

Requirements

The demo is compiled for the x86 architecture, and requires Microsoft Windows with DirectX 9 or greater installed.

Installing the demo

Apart from the above, the demo doesn't have any system dependencies, and does not require an explicit install step.
After unzipping the release archive, the demo is ready to run, and when you have finished with the demo (and SDK) you can simply delete the SDK directory structure from your harddrive.

Running the demo

To run the demo, simply double click the file 'CP3DDemo_StaticLinkage.exe', in the 'bin' subdirectory of the unzipped SDK.
A window should appear, with a basic scene rendered in blue.
To quit the demo simply close this window.

If you cannot find the demo exe then it's possible this may have been blocked by internet explorer.
In this case, the problem can be solved by right clicking the SDK archive after download, and 'unblocking' through the resulting UI.
