>>Big? What? You think 20 megs is BIG? You got a litte, weenie, insignificant disk drive, Jim? Just a wee, tiny one? I would have thought you had a BIG one, being a bricklayer and all, but, no…. it's just a microscopic thing, can't even handle DEMO software…
Sounds great to me! I'm sure I'll see a splashy announcement here when it becomes available. The Amiga shareware game I'm doing the graphics for will be uploaded to the AmigaArts Forum when it's finished shortly. You might like it. *8^) The only downside to the game is that it…
Glad to hear it Hilary. Anyone who can stick with Windows, can stick with anything! You deserve a medal. Then again, so does any Amiga user who is still using it in spite of the CBM liquidation soap opera. *8^) -= Vance =- Image Master Internet: viking@freenet.edmonton.ab.ca
Hi, Peter! Just wondering if you've upgraded to ADOS 3.1 yet? I plan to in about a couple of months. -= Vance =- Image Master Internet: viking@freenet.edmonton.ab.ca
Hi again, Ben! Speaking of something missing, I have Imagemaster R/t 1.50c. I heard tell of a major update coming. If it is true, do you have any tentative release dates, and how much the update will cost? I also wanted to mention, that unlike so many others who are…
Well, I never would have guessed that you were 76. There seemed to be such a limited number of computer users in your age group, that I never gave it much thought. I suppose you could always get an IM R/t expert to do the work for you. But then…
Thanks, Henry! *8^) -= Vance =- Image Master Internet: viking@freenet.edmonton.ab.ca
Hi, Hilary! Personally, Imagemaster R/t is well worth it. Although it has a steeper learning curve to mainly adjust to the GUI, it has too many valuable features for me to ever consider junking it. I recommend that you purchase either/or ImageFX and Art Department Pro, and set aside Imagemaster…
Oh well! Or should that read, "oh h*ll!"? *8^) -= Vance =- Image Master Internet: viking@freenet.edmonton.ab.ca
Would you sell the Toaster card separately? I have an A3000T. No problem if you don't want to. -= Vance =- Image Master Internet: viking@freenet.edmonton.ab.ca
Intel's widely known for original thinking. The only CI$ program for the Amiga that I know of is AutoPilot. It works well enough for my needs. -= Vance =- Image Master Internet: viking@freenet.edmonton.ab.ca
#THE Amiga Party
Message #185114
re: late night party girls That was a great story! *8^) I have what I consider a good story, although it's off topic. Here it is, in case you're interested: A few years ago, when I had an A2000 (I use an A3000T now), I was running a local bbs…
It's mostly hush-hush, for now. One of the teams is basically a cross between those european AGA demo coders and coders of games like Shepherd (sp?). They're planning a "Hello!" demo first, followed up with a Tanks game. The other team is even more secretive, where I don't really know…
Well, I'm doing some graphics work for a couple of shareware teams in Canada, but nothing commercial for now. -= Vance =- Image Master Internet: viking@freenet.edmonton.ab.ca
What I don't understand is that if you have a meticulous CGI Voyager model, why use a real model at all?? *8^) -= Vance =- Image Master Internet: viking@freenet.edmonton.ab.ca
There was a recent software upgrade for Retina Z-III which fixes the ADOS 3.1 problem, as well as other enhancements. So that argument is no longer valid. I work part-time for a dealer and sold a standard Retina Zorro II card and he has told me it works great and…
Will Paramount be making moves towards near-complete CGI effects? I figure since LightWave 3D can deliver such quality, why not have a CGI Voyager?? Doing the Voyager the motion control way means multiple passes just to comprise one shot. Oh, and I saw you on the effects part of that…
Does ADPro have an option for generating X-Specs 3D images? If so, use that, as it is the same technique as field rendering. I use Imagemaster R/t and it has that option. Works great! -=Vance=- Internet: viking@freenet.edmonton.ab.ca
Quadra Composer is a shareware program with really impressive features and the best 2.x-3.x compliant GUI I've seen yet for a MOD maker. All of the features are moduled into windows on QC's own screen. Calle Englund is only asking $20 US for the registered version. It comes with its…
Stock graphics are like a personal library that you can use over and over again in various videos. If you do a logo for the client, then that is a custom graphic and they would be the entitled owner of it. If it is a stock shot of yours, you…
There are many MOD's that have been extracted from commercial and shareware games, which can explain the lack of copyrights in code, not to mention the lack of text. It would be simpler to get someone who makes MOD's to do a couple for you, or ask permission to use…
I don't know how loose things may be in the US, but up here: 1) If the end-credits have a copyright in your client's business name, it means that they have the exclusive rights to all elements used in the video, with exception to stock graphics, or elements such as…
For the TBC, you only need to use it on the inputs, if you are using a videotape source. If you are using one or more cameras, then no.
Yes way! *8^) Their software includes a newer paint and image processing program. When my friend gets his Retina, I'll be installing it and testing it out for him. -= Vance =- Image Master Internet: viking@freenet.edmonton.ab.ca
I'll likely wait and add an '060 board when they become available. That would do very nicely for my A3000T.
""" Hi Vance, How's it going? >> Did you see the Amiga ads in January 1995 Amiga World? Yes, I did. The "A2200" is apparently a re-engineered CD and of the two I find it most interesting. It indicates that there is at least an anticipated demand for Amigas out…
If you have Zorro III slots, personally I'd recommend the Retina Z-III. -= Vance =- Image Master Internet: viking@freenet.edmonton.ab.ca
Did you see the Amiga ads in January 1995 Amiga World? There were a couple of custom Amigas shown. One was the A2200 and the other was PAWS, a laptop Amiga. Both could help fill the void until this mess with CBM assets is sorted out.
Hard to keep up with what they have since I don't own Interchange myself. *8^) -= Vance =- Image Master Internet: viking@freenet.edmonton.ab.ca
Contact Syndesis Corp. in the AmigaVendor forum. They make a program called Interchange to handle all of your object conversions. -= Vance =- Image Master Internet: viking@freenet.edmonton.ab.ca
What a horrible thought! Shame on you! *8^) -= Vance =- Image Master Internet: viking@freenet.edmonton.ab.ca
That token offer was a long time ago, so I count it even less now. *8^) -= Vance =- Image Master Internet: viking@freenet.edmonton.ab.ca
Heh heh heh! Yeah, I figured you wouldn't tempt fate with a van. Well, I've had a good Christmas. A few toys, nothing computer related. The only downside is that my A3000T's left-mouse-button function isn't working. It's not the CIA's and it's not the mouse, so when I get some…
I disagree. Commodore added expansion slots including a video slot, de-interlaced modes, new display capabilities, new look OS, greatly increased memory handling, more and better quality monitor choices, and so on. If CBM stayed with the A1000, the Amiga would have died a long time ago. So, give CBM some…
"Has anybody had any experience with the Videonics MX1 Digital Video Mixer? I'm looking to use one for field production (easier to move aro}nd than the Toaster), and was wondering how well it works. Also, any luck using it as a TBC for Toaster inputs?" Nate, you mean you don't…
"re: seeing an Amiga os on TV… Very funny, actually here in stanten island, I've seen it on a couple of cable channels. You know, that famous Guru meditation screen. Judging from how slow it was blinking, I'd say they were running a 500 or something. the closest thing to…
Thank you! *8^) Now, let's all sing, like the Swedish sing! "Fore-bere-heer-de-hroo-shkdish-shkidoo… fore-bere-heer-dere-de-da-doo… morp-morp-morp!" __ / \ |\__| |__/| \__|____|__/ |~||~| < \/ > |\==/| —- heh! \__/ -= Vance =- Image Master Internet: viking@freenet.edmonton.ab.ca
Better yet, you can make your own Babylon 5 show. *8^) -= Vance =- Image Master Internet: viking@freenet.edmonton.ab.ca
Umm, have you heard of paragraphs??? My eyes are bleeding from your last letter. Hard on the eyes. *8^S -= Vance =- Image Master Internet: viking@freenet.edmonton.ab.ca
Just a small spelling note: The Toaster's makers are NewTek, not NewTech. It may not seem important, but there are a number of other companies with similar, not to mention almost identical, names. Can't afford to have people any more confused than when they started out. *8^) -= Vance =-…
"Spam Spam Spam Spam Wonderful Spam Wonderful Spam" And speaking of Spam, did you know it was originally made for post lutefisk survivors who's tastebuds had nothing left to live for? -= Vance =- Image Master Internet: viking@freenet.edmonton.ab.ca
>>>Lutefisk was what the vikings used as a last resort to overwhelm the enemy, and lefsa was used to strengthen their shields if the enemy wisely wore clothes pins on their noses. *8^)
IMNSHO, I liked you better when you were lurking. *8^) -= Vance =- Image Master Internet: viking@freenet.edmonton.ab.ca
Your dealer must be from Pluto then, because NewTek has no intention of taking over any part of CBM, nor can they afford to. -= Vance =- Image Master Internet: viking@freenet.edmonton.ab.ca
"Anyone have a billion or two lying around?" Bill Gates does. *8^) -= Vance =- Image Master Internet: viking@freenet.edmonton.ab.ca
That's all that you have to do is to state that the comments were speculative. It helps to keep these nasty rumours from getting out of their cages. *8^) -= Vance =- Image Master Internet: viking@freenet.edmonton.ab.ca
The following is the fault of my depraved sense of Norwegian humour. Here are some other uses for lefse: * Roofing the house * Patching up old jeans * The original (but deadlier) frisbee * Replacement for airbags in the car. Indestructable, the soft stack of lefse cushions the impact…
And as I recall, FAST costs more than the Toaster, too. So, I would expect better DVE's. *8^) -= Vance =- Image Master Internet: viking@freenet.edmonton.ab.ca
Sorry, but if the Toaster were to bypass the Amiga chips, it could no longer be classified as a Toaster. NewTek may, one day, produce a platform independant which will give you titling, FX, and such, but it won't be a Toaster. LightWave being ported was to satisfy users who…
