1. Unzip the folder structure to somewhere accessible, like your desktop.
2. Open the Igloo Showroom 3.xx folder, and move the Igloo folder to the root of your C: Drive so that you end up with the igloo folder at the highest level.

Whilst in this folder, you can also access the Igloo Showroom 3.xx_Data folder which contains the StreamingAssets folder where there is also a folder named IglooTextures, this is where you should place any textures that you would like to see displayed on the igloo structures.

Please overwrite the current texture, to see your texture within igloo virtual.

1. Run the IglooShowroomSetup.exe file, and follow through the installation wizard.
2. Half way through the installation, the system will start installing a program called Igloo Warper which is required to view your own content. Follow this installation wizard too.
3. On completion you will be asked if you would like to run the Igloo Warper, and Igloo Showroom programs, please run them.

     Info
     title Warper Licence
     You may see a warning stating that the licence is invalid. This is not an issue and will not effect Igloo Showroom in any way.

Please use the subfolder content to place your HAP encoded movies. You can then drag these onto the control app to queue them ready for playback. They can then be played by selecting the appropriate tile.

Move to the Igloo/Software/IglooVirtual 3.xx folder, and launch Igloo Showroom 3.xx.exe

1. To view any of your own content, it will need to be placed in a specific folder for the warper to see it. Installing the warper should have created this folder for you, however if it has not please make sure you have the following folder structure on your C:/ drive.
   

   
   

   Paste code macro
   C:/igloo/content

   
   
   Place all of your HAP encoded movies in this content folder, and the Igloo Warper will pick them up and be able to play them.
   
   To play content in the igloo warper, click Media Files from the GUI, and then select the content you wish to play. It will autoplay when selected, and can be controlled by the options on the Play dropdown menu.

2. To ensure that Igloo Virtual can see the warper, we need to activate the Spout Sender within the Warper GUI. Ensure that your spout sender is active, buy clicking Config, Scrolling down with your mouse wheel, and clicking Spout Sender. When active it should look like the picture below.
