Holli's Friends
 Over the years, HolliDance has become more sophisticated. The current version makes use of several third party technologies that make these improvments possible. The makers of these technologies have been kind enough to provide their additions free of charge. Holli and I wish to thank the following:

Nvidia

GPU rendering engine: CUDA™ parallel computing technology, Cg GPU programming language
Ray Trace engine: OptiX™ ray tracing technology

Firelight Technologies

Audio engine : FMOD Studio , copyright © Firelight Technologies Pty, Ltd., 1994-2013

Hillcrest Laboratories

VR engine : Libfreespace motion control technology

Responsibilities
 I do not assume any responsibility for the use of this software. It is supplied 'as is' for entertainment purposes only.

Safety
 The supplied file, 'NoStrobe', disables the strobing light effect. Removal or renaming of this file really can cause brain seizures in people who suffer from epilepsy. Alter this file at your own risk!

On the lighter side
 That being said, I hope you have as much fun with HolliDance as I've had.
