| Tutorials
If you want some help in how to use
trueSpace3.2, either specific to the program itself, or just
about 3D in general, then you need some good tutorials. Below
you will find some to get you started, covering a range of
topics from modeling, to lighting, and more!
We have some trueSpace3.2 tutorials on our site, gathered
together under one page. You can find it by clicking on the
link below, and there you'll find techniques for modeling
a detailed hotrod car, using
lighting effectively, creating caustic-like
and depth of field
effects, and more!

for trueSpace3.2 - you'll find that tutorials for trueSpace2
will be of use, and some tutorials for trueSpace4 may help
too (although, they may use tools that aren't in trueSpace3.2).

Materials
You don't need to spend time creating
that perfect glass or wood material from scratch! Instead,
there are plenty of pre-made materials out there, ready for
you to use in your scenes!
Moonman's
trueSpace Resources really is a wealth of
information - at this particular link, you'll find materials
to download. Please note that only those that are for trueSpace3
will work, but that's still quite a collection of materials
for you to use!

Problems
with trueSpace3.2?
If you have problems with your
copy of trueSpace3.2, then you may find the solution below! We have listed
any known problems or issues that you might run into to help you get everything
running smoothly once more!
| Registration

| OpenGL
A very small number of users may encounter an error on running trueSpace3.2
after it has been installed. The error will say that opengl.dll
is missing. This is nothing to be alarmed about, and
is quickly remedied!
If this happens to you, download
the zip file by clicking here,
and save it to your hard disk. Then extract the opengl.dll file
from the zip, saving it directly to the trueSpace3 folder (if you
installed using the default settings, this will be C:/ts3/), and
you're done!
Remember, this is only necessary if you receive
an error message about opengl.dll when you run trueSpace3.2 - 99%
of you will not have this error, and so don't need to follow these
instructions!

| Problems
running trueSpace3.2?
If you find trueSpace3.2 won't run on your system, one option to try
is to lower the Hardware Acceleration
settings for your display. This is a general tip for
getting software (generally older software) to run in a stable manner
under newer versions of Windows, and can help with trueSpace3.2 too.
Simply try lowering the Hardware Acceleration one step at a time to
see if you find a level at which trueSpace3.2 will run.
The option to do this is found on the Troubleshooting
tab of the Advanced
options for Display
Settings - please consult your Windows documentation
for more details about this.
