Karl, I just uploaded a frame from a recent animation I did that has a good example of an altitude and color mapped planet. It also contains a brief summary of the tools and techniques I used. The animation is quite nice (and quite big-4 Meg) at least by the standards of things I've seen. It depicts some Star Wars vehicles flying away from a small planet while the camera kind of follows the vehicles on their flight. The planet is slowly rotating. Too bad I can't upload the whole animation, but at 4 Meg that's pretty farfetched. Tell me what you think of this image. It's my first upload so go easy on me if you think it stinks! I'm pretty proud of it. The animation is VERY impressive on my 27" JVC. George Lucas might even be pleased! Oh, by the way, I uploaded the file (named PLANET.LZH) in the AmigaArts section under "Raytraced Art". Download time should be about 3.5 minutes at 2400. Terry T. P.S. The Sysop should post it in the next few days.
