Tom, "Windoze or system 7 at the flip of a switch? Anybody can do that!" I know I know. 🙂 I never could understand all the excitement. You never see any articles about that pre-existing aspect of the Amiga. -Louis On AUTOPILOT
Charles, Good point. In my case, I just render out a full size frame from the detail editor before putting it in the stage editor. -Louis On AUTOPILOT
"This time, we did it without any "help" from NewTek…" I remember talking to someone at NewTek a while back about the Framestore format. They said that no one would be able to read a Framestore image 'cause the format changes with every upgrade. They said this was done intentionally…
I'll second that! -Louis On AUTOPILOT
Allan, Centaur has told me that they are not specifically targeting the Pasadena show, though they plan to make an appearance at SIGGRAPH. They say "sometime late summer early spring". -Louis On AUTOPILOT
Chris, Yes I use Imagine2.0 with the OpalVision board, at home. The version of Imagine2.0 that was sent to me originally by Impulse was suppose to display images using the OV board. It didn't. Found some other small bugs and Impulse was kind enough to send me a fix. Again,…
Thanks Jeff, I'll give it a try. -Louis On AUTOPILOT
Tom, Where is Compute Amiga Edition available? -Louis On AUTOPILOT
Allan, Could you please give a little more discriptive information as to what you saw that Centaur was demonstrating? Did you see the CG? How were the effects you saw? How did they run? etc…. -Louis On AUTOPILOT
Jonathan, Are you saying that a deal might be going on that includes an A4000 with an Emplant board? -Louis On AUTOPILOT
Tom, A local Computer Newspaper here in Chicago says that Apple will soon be releasing PC's with an Intel 486 inside. They say the code name is Houdini. Supposedly, you will be able to run Windoze or System 7 at a flip of a switch. Oh Boy! -Louis On AUTOPILOT
Allan, After reading your post on Centaur not releasing anything at the WOC I called them. They now say they will be releasing the modules at the *next* WOC in Sydney which is scheduled for August. Have you heard anything about another WOC in Sydney? =Louis On AUTOPILOT
"The "…some of the members of the original Amiga team [that] created the Lynx…" are now with 3DO." boy, this Amiga team is sure getting around…. =Louis On AUTOPILOT
Jonathan An article appeared in last Sunday's Chicago Tribune about Apple and John Sculley stepping down or aside, depending on how you want to look at it. It goes on to mention what Motorola Inc. is working on. "PowerPC, expected to be on the market early next year, is Apple's…
Peter, Was I was refering to was just not only what I had read but what I had *seen* at SIGGRAPH in Chicago last year. The NewTek folks were also on hand to see the same things that I saw. I hope that John Bennet can provide with more substantial…
Its nice that Opal is not Toaster-awed, but they still must a) ship the video processor and the swithcer box b) provide as simple a user interface as the Toaster c) have equal or better signal output than the Toaster. d) provide an easier to use, better documented animation package…
#No VR for Amiga?
Message #104266
I recently received a survey form and info on a "low-cost Virtual Reality" program for PC's, that Sense 8 will be releasing soon. It is code named the "Mercury Project". Sense 8 is also the maker of the "World Tool Kit". A full blown "high-end" VR developing package. I called…
Billy, Are you going to be releasing the PowerGlove driver as PD? -Louis On AUTOPILOT over Chicago Stadium, GO BULLS!
I'm game! I have an A3000/25 and a A2000 w/ GVP '030 Combo. I also will donate a cyborg object I've created and named "Anti-Motion Man" for this project. The attribute for him is gold. For his attributes, the reflection is set all the way up with a yellow-like color.
Vance, How many pages does it have? -Louis On AUTOPILOT over Chicago Stadium, GO BULLS!
Darryl, Who did you speak with? -Louis On AUTOPILOT over Chicago Stadium, GO BULLS!
Wayne, OV is committed to taking NewTek and the VT head on. They will undercut any price and will offer more. This is what I've been told… It's nice to see this strong competition! We the users can only stand to reap the many benefits! 🙂 On AUTOPILOT over Chicago…
Frank, I called and spoke with Greg Niles about the delays. It is my understanding the the OV modules will be released at the WOC in Australia in July. They are standing firm on this promise. I was told that they had a problem with the "video chip" specs. He…
What town is it? -Louis On AUTOPILOT over Chicago Stadium, GO BULLS!
No prob on the typing. It was a "SNAP" from the info file. I'm sure the A4000 would do things a little faster. -Louis On AUTOPILOT over Chicago Stadium, GO BULLS!
No, I am not in a blimp, nor am I a blimp. But my spirit soars high above the clouds over looking the Stadium. Actually, if the Suns don't win Friday, it'll be a boring series. I think the Knicks series was the finals for the Bulls…. =Louis On AUTOPILOT…
Anthony, Get ProCONTROL by Doug Crane, distributed by ASDG. It's the answere to all your problems. Really! I uploaded a demo in AmigaArts, Animation Lib. File is called PCTRL.lzh =Louis On AUTOPILOT over Chicago Stadium, GO BULLS!
This might be of some help to you. It's taken from the OpalAnimate docs. Six different color mode: 8 Bit LoRes 256 colors 8 Bit HiRes 256 colors 12 Bit LoRes 4096 colors 15 Bit LoRes 32768 colors 18 Bit LoRes 262144 colors 24 Bit LoRes 16777216 colors Estimated Playback…
James, MakeAnim24 scales and converts a number of IFF files into the OpalVision animation format. This format is not compressed, so it can be played back to a high speed from memory as well as from hard drive. A two pass spatial transform algorithm is used to achieve the best…
What's the movie supposed to be about? =Louis On AUTOPILOT over Chicago Stadium, GO BULLS!
Jim, I saw the program being used at SIGGRAPH in Chicago last year. They had a small booth with hardly any people around. I managed to get a "tour" of the program. reeal nice stuff, and interesting concept. After a while you start getting the feel of working with clay…
Thanks for the info. =Louis On AUTOPILOT over Chicago Stadium, GO BULLS!
Steve, Good prices! What's your turn around time like. My animations average 100 – 200 frames. =Louis On AUTOPILOT over Chicago Stadium, GO BULLS!
Erik, Nice AW cover render! Was the monitor super-imposed over it? What resolution was your final render? How big was it? Did you submit a slide or an RGB file? Curious… =Louis On AUTOPILOT over Chicago Stadium, GO BULLS!
'bout 37K. On AUTOPILOT over Chicago Stadium, GO BULLS!
Demo of ProCONTROL has now been u/l to the Animation lib. as PCTRL.lzh =Louis On AUTOPILOT over Chicago Stadium, GO BULLS!
A demo of ProCONTROL has been uploaded in the Animation Lib. as PCTRL.lzh =Louis On AUTOPILOT over Chicago Stadium, GO BULLS!
No rest for the wicked. 🙂 Is Microsoft Word the same as what you get in Microsoft Works? =Louis On AUTOPILOT over Chicago…
Paul, The program speaks for itself. Drop Doug Crane a line. He can answere any other questions you might have. I have a demo of it that I can upload if you want. It has a couple of screen shots and shows some of the requestors. If you have ANY…
It's available through ASDG. Thanks for the interest. You won't be let down. Drop Doug Crane a note. He'll be more than happy to hear from you. =Louis On AUTOPILOT over Chicago…
Thanks for the replies. Looks like it'll be my next investment. -Louis On AUTOPILOT over Chicago…
"Somthing that takes about 10 megs of ram to run… uses about as many megs of HD to exist… requires an FPU" Hhhmmm… sound like an IBM program… -Louis On AUTOPILOT over Chicago…
You should really look into ProCONTROL. It makes FRED look like child's play, and much easier to use. -Louis On AUTOPILOT over Chicago…
Ben, What is your definition of a "high-end" Imagemaster? I've been pretty impressed with what I've seen so far. -Louis On AUTOPILOT over Chicago…
Again, he pulls through… Many thanks. Waiting for R/t.. -Louis On AUTOPILOT over Chicago…
Paul, I understand Sentry does have some problems. I've read the messages to ASDG. But, don't under estimate ProCONTROL. It can be used on many levels. Depending on how complex you want to get. It fully supports ALL ADPro ARexx funcions, and them some added by Doug Crane. What is…
Jonathan, I've been monitoring the rumors for the Emplant board. I take it you now have one. I have a couple of questions. 1. What kind of color display does it support? 2. What kind of MFLOPS and MIPS are you getting? 3. Does it support SCSI-2? 4. Does it…
Jonathan, Are you running Photoshop in full color on the Emplant brd? -Louis On AUTOPILOT over Chicago…
Peter, I called VRL and asked about that function and the ability to import 3D objects. They say it is in the "works". -Louis On AUTOPILOT over Chicago…
Ben, Suggestion for next or future IM v?: You know how in morph mode you can see two images over each other and have control over the transparency? You can also adjust the points in this mode. Well… I've been using some of IM's effects in animations. Now I'm not…
