- Sample rendering #2
-
- This image was rendered in Imagine using objects from our Diner Objects
- Set. Here four images have been composited together, showing a variety of
- the objects in the set including a pay telephone, the Wurlitzer jukebox,
- table settings and a restroom. All the objects and the image maps used on
- them are included in the three-disk object set, as well as the Imagine pro-
- ject used to render these and the other sample scenes.
- The Diner Objects set is available directly from Terra Nova Development
- for the price of $47.50 US, including shipping charges. California orders
- please add $3.44 sales tax. Send your money order or check in US funds to:

- What follows is an excerpt from the informative manual that comes with
- the three disk set:

- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
- This set contains a large number of objects (and some image maps for
- them) which all together make up a diner of the early 1950's. You'll
- find a detailed Wurlitzer jukebox, utensils, plates, cups and glasses;
- the booths, counter, stools and even a restroom are included.
- In many cases there are `hi-res' and `lores' versions of objects.
- This is to help you when memory is running low and when you want to use a
- large number of, for example, coffee cups or plates in a scene. The
- `lores' objects look fine at a distance and will render more quickly as
- well as saving memory.
- The objects are created for Imagine version 2.0. They will also work
- with earlier versions of Imagine but there may be some surfaces that don't
- render quite the same with those versions. We encourage you to upgrade to
- Imagine 2.0, but even if you don't these objects can still be used.
- Besides the objects, the first disk has two Imagine projects.
- Diner.imp sets up nine fairly complex scenes using a lot of objects which
- require up to fourteen megabytes to render. LessMem.imp is a project of
- scenes that are simpler and can be rendered with five megabytes. These
- scenes are just meant to get you started with a few views of how the diner
- is put together.

- About the Artist
-
- The Diner objects were created by Bradley W. Schenck, a partner at
- Terra Nova Development. With a background in painting, illustration, and
- musical instrument construction, Bradley discovered computers in the early
- 1980's and discovered interesting computers a few years later. His 2D and
- 3D images and animations circulated through the Amiga community, including
- two wins in the 1988 and 1989 BADGE Killer Demo Contests.
- Bradley has also written on graphics subjects in several magazines,
- including a long-running column in the late .info magazine. With Michal
- Todorovic he founded Terra Nova Development and built `The Labyrinth', a
- CD-ROM based adventure game featuring (in the CDTV/Amiga version) about
- 180 megabytes of ray traced images and animations created in Impulse's
- Imagine software.
- This is his first `Designer Objects' collection. The Diner objects
- ave been in the works since 1990, when early versions of the jukebox and
- others showed up in the demos for The Right Answers Group's Director 2.
