+ASSIMP SAMPLES README
+=====================
+
+
+1. General
+----------
+
+This directory contains various samples to illustrate Assimp's
+use in various real-world environments. Workspaces to build the
+samples can be found in the respective directories. The VC workspaces
+copy the created executables to the ./bin directory.
+
+All GL-based samples depend on FreeGLUT, the image loading will be done 
+by a header-only library. For convenience, these libraries are included
+in the repository in their respective Windows/x86 prebuilt versions.
+To build on linux, install freeglut using the package manager of your 
+choice. For instance on Ubuntu to install freeglut you can use the following
+command:
+
+> sudo apt install freeglut
+
+All samples will be placed at 
+
+Win32: <assimp_repo>/<config>/bin
+
+or Linux : <assimp_repo>/bin

+2. List of samples
+------------------
+
+SimpleOpenGL
+
+  A very simple and straightforward OpenGL sample. It loads a
+  model (gets the path to it on the command line, default is dwarf.x)
+  and displays the model as wireframe. Animations and materials are
+  not evaluated at all. This samples uses the C interface to Assimp.
+  Basic materials are displayed, but no textures.
+
+  This sample should work virtually everywhere, provided glut
+  is available.
+
+
+SimpleTexturedOpenGL
+
+  An extended OpenGL sample, featuring texturing using the DevIL 
+  library. Based on SimpleOpenGL and the NeHe GL tutorial style.
+
+  This is a Windows-only sample.
+
+  This sample was kindly provided by SamHayne (http://sf.net/users/samhayne/)
+  See http://sourceforge.net/projects/assimp/forums/forum/817654/topic/3736373
+
+
+SimpleAssimpViewX
+
+  A Mac OSX-based viewer app. This sample was kindly provided by drparallax.
