Paul, your reply was meant for Paul, but was addressed to me. I'm sure
he'll see it though.
You know, I *was* going to challenge your comment that you can easily crank
out 30fps using DCTV 3bitplane (ie. to the amiga that is hires, 8color). I
really didn't see it, unless the anim was designed with minimal
movement/changes, etc. But I just went over to DPaint and created a
moderately complex 640x200x3bitplane anim, with moderate-large changes each
frame, and it *did* run at close to 30fps.
Now, I doubt if I'd get the same rate on a fly-by through a landscape where
*lots* change each frame. I was also using an 030 machine, which does help
a bit 🙂
But I just wanted to let you know I checked your assertion out, and you're
right. Very good.
