World Builder is a stand-alone computer graphic application for Windows 95 and Windows NT. It enables the user to create 3 dimensional scenes consisting of realistic looking mountains, rippling oceans, and multi-layered skies. You can also animate various scene elements ranging from the position of a virtual camera to the rate of growth for a field of multicolored flowers. World Builder was designed for users ranging from architects to game developers.

	Forcade Associates designed and produced the user manual and help file for Animatek’s World Builder—a 3D terrain animation program

Project Scope
The project team consisted of programmers located in Moscow, RUS and San Francisco, CA. Forcade Associates was contracted to write, illustrate, design, and coordinate the production of a 520 page user manual and companion on-line Help File System. We were also required to exhaustively test the software under production conditions, document bugs, provide feature enhancements, and specify user interface refinements.

The 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, tutorial support files for CD-ROM distribution, along with the outline and design for the manual itself. 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. The finished file was provided in digital form suitable for inclusion with the shipping program.
