Display       : PAL&   This  is  the  picture I knocked up&for  this  issue's   cover.   It   was&produced  using  Turbo  Silver  3 from
Impulse Inc.&   Those  are  supposed  to be Compact&Discs  if  you're a bit unsure of what&they're  meant  to  be.  The  CDs were&quite easy to model but when I started&rendering  I  hit  a  problem.  I  had&copied  the  CD cases exactly with the&inlay  inside   the   plastic.   This,&despite  much  playing around with the&plastic's transparency and the scene's&lighting, made it seemingly impossible&to  get a good display of the pictures&on  the  inlays.  In the end I gave up&and  placed  the pictures on the cases
instead.&   The  only other major problem I had&was  the  usual  one  of  too   little&memory.  Despite  removing   all   the&unseen  bits of plastic from the CDs I&was  still running out of my two megs.&So  it  was a case of halving the size&of  all the objects in the scene which&causes  Silver  to use less memory but&doubles  the  rendering  time  - sigh.&Thus  the final render took over three&days.  And  that's  only for the cover&picture  which  is non-interlace. I've&still to do the full interlace version&which  will take over six days! Double
sigh.&   The only other problem was with the&RAW  stencil  which  I got upside down&and  didn't realise it till the end of&the  full  render. The full text reads&"RAW,  Order  Now And Don't Miss Out."&Perhaps  it  will  be  readable in the&interlace  version. I couldn't rip any&pictures  from  Raw but hopefully that!makes up for it's non-appearance.&   The  eight  pictures  used  are all&from  the  following disk magazines...&Amsmag,  April  93;  Stolen  Data  10;&Satanic  Rites  4;  Freedom  Crack  2;&Grapevine  14; Zircon 3; Cemetery News&2 and Sledgehammer 2. (I hope I've got&the  numbers right.) I didn't get them&all reviewed this issue I'm afraid but&the  ones  that missed out, Grapevine,&Sledgehammer,  Stolen  Data  and  Raw,&will  be  done next issue - promise. I&haven't  as   yet   managed   to   get&up-to-date  versions  of Raw or Stolen&Data  so  if anyone would like to pass&them on it would be appreciated. Ditto&for  Scene Lyrics which I've never yet
seen.&   Disk  mags  on  CD  are not a crazy&idea  either as it's already happening&on  the PC and Mac. Come on Commodore,&sign  up  some of these before someone
else does.
