AnimaTek's World Builder - user manual & online help
World Builder is
a stand-alone computer graphic application for Windows 95 and Windows
NT. World Builder was designed for users ranging from architects to
game developers. Programmed by the people that created Tetris, It enables
the user to create animated 3 dimensional scenes consisting of realistic
looking mountains, rippling oceans, and multi-layered skies.

Project Scope
We produced the manual for version one of the program. Once again, programmers
located in Moscow, RUS and San Francisco, CA contracted us to write,
illustrate, design, and produce the user manual for version 2. Forcade
Associates also designed and produced World Builder's companion on-line
Help File System. Our computer graphics experience enabled us to exhaustively
test the software under production conditions, document bugs, provide
feature enhancements, and specify user interface refinements.
Our 500 page illustrated
manual is fully indexed with a detailed table of contents, tutorials,
command reference, and glossary of terms. We provided all manual content
including the design of tutorials, and tutorial support files. The finished
manual pages were provided in plate-ready form, suitable for printing,
trimming, and binding.
The Help File was
also designed by Forcade Associates. It provides a fully illustrated
interactive reference to World Builder’s user interface command set,
variables, and procedures. Forcade Associates was responsible for all
design, content development, programming, and testing required to produce
the Help File.
