Dave,
Agreed – right this minute, proclaiming the Amiga as the "Personal Video
Machine" is completely justified. My point was that, in a few weeks or months,
CBM's broader claim of "professional-quality 3-D animation" (even by "running
dinosaur" standards) will be plausible. Some of the other messages in the
thread are saying more or less the same thing. We need:
– the 68020/68881 version of Sculpt-3D, which I hear is nearly ready.
With CSA's 20MHZ 68020/68881 card (or something similar), this would
make ray-traced animation practical (not a Cray, but better than what
we have now)
– the final version of Animate-3D, which sounds good in the ads
– a *big* improvement in the Amiga's NTSC output to a VCR
Then, as both Don and Rick have pointed out, just about anything would be
possible.
