Using Cavepainting, like all computer programs, is mostly a matter of getting familiar with it. This HOWTO is a reference for the tools available within the program. While this document is being built, it might be more useful to refer to the CavePainting manual.

Using the Controllers

The Menus

The menus are lined up in a jittered column in the front left portion of the Cave. They stay fixed in place relative to the physical space of the Cave regardless of how you move around or how you move the virtual world. Be careful if you walk past the menus; this means you're getting close to bumping your nose against the front wall!

Artwork Menu

Undo/Redo Menu
