Sorry about the 2090A problem… I had a 2090 and I HATE it!!! It had those problems with the read write errors… As I understand it now, the 2090A doesn't have that problem, except for a DPaintII slow-load problem I read about in Amazing Computing November issue… Anyway, I'mm seriously…

Kevin, The Amiga 2500 is not all that fast… The 2090A stil has the overscan problems and the 2620/2 is not that fast… I have a RONIN board with a 20Mhz 881 and no 32-bit RAM… I compaired my system to a 2500 and was not impressed!!! Here are my…

I used 3-Demon for about 4 hours and it is too sloppy for me. It seems like nothing is ever exact. And the pointerare cute, but just slow down the speed of the program. The solid is a nice feature, but again when you add shading, the shading is very…
#1273 Transport Controller Message #1311
From: Tim Eckel Amiga Vendor · Impulse September 9, 1988 6:07 AM
Why not just work on a cable that you can connect from the serial or parallel port and into the remore controller port of the VCR. Then you could make two drivers, one for the SONY SLGF1000 and PANOSONIC AG1950. Then the controller could send a single frame record command…

From: Tim Eckel Amiga Vendor · Impulse September 6, 1988 6:52 AM
I have had the 3D glasses for about 1 month now and making 3D scenes is very easy. Make an assortment of objects at different depths, example along the y axis. then calculate the left image. After that move the camera (with it fixed on an object) about a half…
#1035 Latest SCSI HD cards Message #1231
From: Tim Eckel Amiga Vendor · C Ltd September 6, 1988 6:32 AM
I'de get your SCSI controller, but I've heard that it is the slowest one out! It does not have DMA or auto-boot with Workbench 1.3. If you guys would put together a faster auto-boot drive, I would go with you, otherwise I'll just have to go with the Overdrive or…
#2348 #Terrain Module Message #2743
From: Tim Eckel AmigaArts Forum · Videophile August 30, 1988 7:10 AM
Stan, I think th Stan, I think that your product is much better, in every aspect. From renderingtimes to better looking results. I have both TSilver and Sculpt, and have worked with Eric Graham with his early ray tracer. The simple matter is, is that TSilver gives you better, more…
#2621 #Terrain Module Message #2742
From: Tim Eckel AmigaArts Forum · Videophile August 30, 1988 6:58 AM
I'd like to see a smoke module! Not only smoke but things like clouds and fog and the like. It is just too hard to create objects like that on any current graphic interface. I think that if you keep the price as low as the Terrain module, many people…
From: Tim Eckel Amiga Vendor · Impulse August 24, 1988 6:25 AM
Stan, Many times I wanted to purchase a single-frame recording VCR like the SONY SLHF-1000 or the Panasonic AG-1950 to record my animations to video tape. The only problem is that unless I want to stand in front of the VCR and hit after each rendered frame, I would have…
#COMDEX Disks Message #824
From: Tim Eckel Amiga Vendor · Impulse August 22, 1988 7:55 PM
Hey Stan, Can you give me some time limit on when you will be sending me those disks for the Comdex show? Can't wait to get going on the animation Tim Eckel
#1805- Need a Modem Message #1893
From: Tim Eckel AmigaArts Forum · Forum Business/Help August 18, 1988 5:32 AM
If you are using an IBM right now, then you must have modem. If it is an internal modem, then go with the Supra, otherwise just use the modem you are using now on the Amiga.

They were selling so many at AmiExpo that by the last day, they were out. I Bought my pair at the closing of the Expo on Saturday and they had about 10 sitting on the table, I asked if they were selling and she told me that these are the…

From: Tim Eckel Amiga Vendor · Impulse August 8, 1988 9:42 PM
I've got the 3D glasses and they are great!!! With Turbo-Silver the images seem to jump out of the screen, unlike others….. But it would be great if you guys would make the wire-frame preview work with the Haitex-3D glases. As far as the difficulty in doing this, I understand…

From: Tim Eckel AmigaArts Forum · Forum Business/Help July 28, 1988 12:09 AM
Sorry about the discription… Could you please change the discription.. This animation was created by Tim Eckel. The objects were created with Sculpt-3D. The 100 frames were calculated with Animate-3D in non-interlaced overscan. This animation is a recreation of the animation "Luxo Jr." created as a demo by P*I*X*A*R. This…
