This video is a morph involving three images of fancy cars. The morph was created using Photomorph, a new product from North Coast Software. Photomorph is my favorite morphing product -- it does a great job, and outputs .avi files. This makes it emminently useful. For more info about Photomorph, call them at 603-664-7872.
Comm7
This is a little "commercial" that I created using my kids Chris, Chanel, and Justen as actors. All of the cool effects were done using stuff that I am currently beta testing -- unfortunately, I can't tell you what it is yet, but perhaps next month... Multimedia Madness is an earlier book of mine covering all aspects of multimedia hardware and software...........
wfall
This is a video of a large waterfall located on the side of Mt. Rainier, the largest mountain in the lower 48 states. At the time we were driving through, the clouds were very low, and we despaired of seeing anything really cool. Finally, we spotted this waterfall. It's quite spectacular, and I hope the video does it justice.
Meetme
This is the same video you can play by clicking the "Meet Author" button on the first page. I included it here in case you missed it. The video includes a Vista Pro 3.0 landscape, a fancy airplane cockpit concocted in Adobe Photoshop, and yours truly as your tour guide.
horse_p
Well, I couldn't resist this little gem. Like the goat-riding-a-horse video, it was shot at my brother-in-law's farm. The video features a stallion, his mane blowing majestically in the wind, relieving himself. Don't say you weren't warned! The horse's name is Paco, and I rode him during the visit. He was ornery, and deserves his 15 minutes of infamy.
goat1c
For those of you who have double-spin CD-ROM drives, here is a version of the goat video captured at 240x180 (300k/sec transfer rate required to play it). It also uses version 3.0 of Indeo, which you must have installed in order to play it. Instructions for installing Indeo 3.0 can be found when you start up Nautilus.
goat1
We visited my brother-in-law's farm recently, and found out that his goats like to ride the horses. We tried to videotape the event for days, but first the weather was bad, and then a strange horse messed things up. Finally, just before we left, one little goat by the name of Carmen rode her way into digital video history.
earth8b
This video was created as a .flc file animation in Autodesk's 3D Studio. It uses an explosion IPAS routine from the Yost group to destroy an entire planet -- just the sort of thing if you like violent virtual reality to release the day's tension. I use 3D Studio a lot for neat digital effects, but it's also great for original work, too.

Welcome to a preview of some fun stuff from my new Book, Virtual Reality Madness. The book is due out in bookstores in late August or early September of 1993.
I have included a few video files from the book, as well as some video files that I thought were just plain fun. Click the "View Videos" button to move to the page with the videos on it. Enjoy!
Ron Wodaskieen this page and the next. Enjoy!

Your video system uses 8-bit color, or less. Some of the figures use 16- or 24-bit color. It is not possible to display these images properly on an 8-bit color system. If your video display card has a 16- or 24-bit mode (even if it is only 640x480), you may want to use it for best results.
If you do not have a 16- or 24-bit color mode available, some of the images may appear in the wrong colors.
