　There are three kinds of them, InternalContentsHUD, UserContentsHUD, and CommercialContentsHUD.
　A InternalContentsHUD has built-in animation information.
　A CommercialContentsHUD is commercial contents.
　Use a UserContentsHUD, when you use the contents which you prepared by yourself.
　The contents which you can use now are only animations.
　You must use the contents HUD activated.
　You can select a content of a list on DISPLAY, or can execute it with a double click.
　Use a UserContentsHUD using the contents which you prepared by yourself.
　A UserContentsHUD can use only a content which can be copied.
　The kind of a content is either of the following.
　　A.  What you yourself uploaded.

　Menu instruction of ContentsHUD

　(Update: Rev3)

  

　_TACHYON_ is a solution for you to make performance of an avatar comfortably efficiently.
　If you have used DTV software, how to use this should also be learned simply.
　However, of course, the basic knowledge of Second Life is certainly required >: -)

　Let's explain how to use simply.
　The basic configuration of _TACHYON_ is Contents, Sequence editor, and Player.

　The definition of words.(Refer to an simple flow)
　　CONTENT
　　　A CONTENT is an animation file.
　　　An animation file is also called a motion file.
　　The information on two or more CONTENT(s) is stored in one ContentsHUD.
　　ContentsHUD
　　　There are three kinds of ContentsHUD(s), InternalConentsHUD, CommercialContentsHUD, and UserContentsHUD.
　　ELEMENT
　　　How to use a CONTENT is defined to ELEMENT.
　　SEQUENCE
　　　The execution order of ELEMENTS is defined to SEQUENCE.
　　ACTION
　　　A series of animation executed by one SEQUENCE is called ACTION.
　　One Player holds one SEQUENCE and does one ACTION.

　1. Attach the contents HUD and the sequence editor as HUD.
　　　The sequence editor consists of ZEUS, HERA, and CAERUS.
　　　ZEUS is able to attach on "HUD TOP" only.
　　　CAERUS is able to attach on "HUD BOTTOM" only.
　　　HERA is able to attach on HUD anywhere.

　2. Click the contents HUD, to display a contents list.
　3. Let's scroll the contents list or carry out a form feed.

　　　To scroll, drag a display right end up and down.
　　　To start a new line, push the up-and-down cursor of a keyboard.
　　　Push PageUp/PageDwon of a keyboard, to carry out a form feed.

　4. Select the content on a contents list.
　5. Check being displayed above the Active button of the sequence editor as "content name" is ready.
　　　(Attention: A GHOST ELEMENT will be generated, if it places when it is not displayed)
　6. Click the timeline of the sequence editor and place the content.
　　Notes.
　　　What has been placed is called an ELEMENT.
　　　The placement pattern of ELEMENTS are called SEQUENCE.

　7. Arrange a required content similarly.
　　(The numbers of maximums of an element differ for every edition.example SuperBeginner's Edition RC1=5,β=10,Ver1.00=5,Beginner's Edition=10,etc...)
　8. If it finishes, please transmit to a player-HUD(BRONTES-CYCLOPS) and check the SEQUENCE.
　9. Edit the SEQUENCE, if operation is not satisfactory.
10. When making the SEQUENCE is completed, rename the object name of the player-HUD(BRONTES-CYCLOPS) to the suitable name.
　　　It will become easy that you manage it.
11. Finally let's detach the sequence editor and shoot using the player-HUD(BRONTES-CYCLOPS).

　Notes.
　　Let's use a quick execution button to start the player-HUD(BRONTES-CYCLOPS) manually.

　　If you change the avatar name which the player-HUD(BRONTES-CYCLOPS) manipulates, you can move another avatar.
　　You can copy the player-HUD(BRONTES-CYCLOPS) and can do the same motion by two or more avatars.
