What's it do
-------------
It renders 3D models in a Cel Animation style in real time.
It is, as far as I know, the first ever realtime 'Cartoon' style
renderer using hardware acceleration.
Please be patient when running it. It takes a while to parse the
files containing the objects.
It does 'smooth' shading on the objects by using alpha textures.
It really needs to optimized a bit better, but I was concentrating on
the rendering style.
