- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- HARDWARE REQUIRED TO RUN
- --------------------------
- This animation will run on any amiga equipped with 3meg of ram.
-
- WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
- ------------------
- The animation is set in the future where two giant soft drink companies
- (KOKA KOLA AND PEP-C) rule the universe!
- The star of the animation is a technician who works for KOKA
- KOLA.In the anim he decides to skive off from work in search of a
- `REAL DRINK` that supposedly tastes like the `REAL THING`.A nearby
- starbase would be an ideal place to start looking ...
-
- I would have put the above in the anim but another still would have
- bumped up the anim another 100k.Why THE AD ?The ending reveals all!
-
- ANIM FACTS AND FIGURES
- -------------------
- 1 6 weeks in the making!Mainly building the objects and the video wall ads.
- In comparison SPEEDLIMIT took me two weeks and DOLPHIN DREAMS 3 days!
- 2 Consists of 1400 frames.
- 3 Approximate running time 1 minute 26 seconds.
- 4 FEATURES:TEXTURE MAPPING,BRUSH MAPPING,ANIMATED BRUSH MAPS,EASEIN/OUT
- PATHS,MOTION BLUR,KEYFRAME ANIMATION,DIGITISED ANIMATION,COLOURED
- LIGHTING(DIMINISHED),3D CHARACTER ANIMATION,CAMERA PANNING,TRACKING,
- ROTATION AND ZOOMS.
- 5 The model of the man was quite huge so the animation was rendered not
- raytraced.Still there`s no call for shadows in space!
- 6 ADverts on the videowalls of the tankers also feature past anims and
- even a japanese manga video!(Anyone got Legend Of The Overfiend?!)
-
- CRITIC CORNER
- ---------------
- Many thanks to 17bit for getting my work in the magazines!Thanks also
- to the reviewers for their kind words.
- Incidentally,a small criticism i got from a magazine was the
- `vague` storyline of SPEEDLIMIT.Well,did Tobias Richter have ANY story
- to his animations?
- ANYBODY can stick an object and the camera on a path and make
- them zip about.Ive attempted something more `original` and believe me
- making a `humanlike` character move convincingly in 3D is very
- hard! If it was easy it would be as common as,well,a fly-by Richter
- animation!
- As to the lack of sound i have found no player that can play
- an anim(quickly) and play sound without itself taking up a big chunk
- of memory.This is why i dropped DELUXE VIDEO after my APC ANIM.It looked
- great in 32 colours.Something like a Psygnosis Intro Player would be
- ideal.Anybody out there got something similar?
-
- THE END
- ---------
- I thought i would take advantage of this text file to make a request.
- I would like to swap IMAGINE objects and textures with other users.
- They must be of a reasonable size,detailed and well constructed.No
- chequered vases please!!The phone number is at the beginning.
-
- thanks for reading this,
