- Hello.
- This file is just to tell you a little bit about some of my stuff.
-
- GUNSHIP
- This model was copied from the Air Police helicopters in a comic book called
- Appleseed, by a Japanese chap called Masamune Shirow. Japanese? Yes it`s one
- of those strange Manga thingies that many people seem to get mildly obsessed
- with. If anyone`s got Appleseed III (American edition by Dark Horse) or the
- amazingly big and expensive Intron Depot, I`ll buy them but only if they`re
- really cheap.
- This model (which is obviously for Real 3D) will render at up to 640x512
- (greyscale interlaced) on an unexpanded A1200 in Lampless mode, and maybe
- shadowless too, and any resolution rendered straight to disk. It only has 2
- texture maps, one for the main body and one for the gun. The map `body`
- has H.R.H. written on it (Headlice Revolutionary Group), but for the authe-
- -ntic Shirow look this should be replaced with `POLICE`
- Also included is Mr Sausage, a mannequin-like creature, if anyone could make
- a proper pilot could they please send me a copy.
-
- MUZZLE-FLASH
- A simple rectangle with lights and a material attached, for use with any gun
- to give an impressive cloud of expelled gases. Make sure it`s the right way
- around, and always position it parallel to the `camera` or it`ll look a bit
- squashed.
-
- BLOKE
- Simply a small green cartoony dinosaur thing, with a huge grin. Practise for
- making smooth shaded heads with mouths (my previous heads were missing any
- sort of mouth, which made them look a bit silly).Will render on basic A1200.
-
- CHAIN12
- Sorry, this is just a simple pointless circular chain with 12 links.
- About as useful and imaginitive as chrome balls on a chessboard.
- Sorry.
- Will work on basic A1200 with considerable ease.
-
- PLATFORM
- Another Manga jobbie, Police robotic gun platform from Appleseed II.Nothing
- much to say about it really except that its not complete.
- To get its proportions right the miniguns (nothing `mini` about them) ought
- to be about 4-5 feet wide. Well, it is an anti Landmate weapon.If that has
- confused you a bit, just take a look at `Mortal Thoughts` in the Pictures
- Section, you should be able to work out relative sizes from there (Landmate
- is about 8`8`` tall)
- Don`t know how much memory this requires to render, I only have a 2Mb 1200.
- If you`re worried by my saying it isn`t complete, it only needs another 12
- small close-in guns added.
-
- PREVIEWS SECTION
- These pics are from a couple of models that I`ll send in when they`re finished.
- Vamp should be interesting when she`s finished, I have everything I need to
- fully assemble her(legs,hands,wings) but unfortunately no head! If I can`t
- make a decent head, I`ll have to use the last one I made which sadly has no
- mouth and looks far too cute for a bondage vampire type creature.
- If anybody out there has a fairly low-density head that they don`t mind
- sharing please get in touch(or if you have any advice on making one, contact
- me) as I would like to complete this model fairly quickly. I`ve only been
- working on it for 11 hours so far.
- Dragon, on the other hand would appreciate some lizard-like texture-maps, which
- I can`t provide as my main monitor is a 12 inch black&white portable telly.
- This explains why my models are usually a little too tall and skinny, my T.V.
- thinks it`s a widescreen.
-
- BEGGING SECTION
- cue violin music>
- I have no CD-ROM drive, no monitor nor even a colour T.V., no extra memory, no
- hard-drive and my 1200`s mouse is slowly dying.
- I`m sure there must be lots of people out there, especially 3D graphics
- enthusiasts who have upgraded, replaced their 40Mb harddrive with an 850Mb
- model, their 4Mb RAM board and 20MHz FPU with a Blizzard 1230 MkIV or Apollo
- 1240, shoved their faithful old Philips monotor under the desk in favour of
- their shiny new Microvitek 1438S. So? You may ask. Well I want all your old
- `obsolete' equipment, and I want it really cheap or free! It`s comong up to
- Cristmas time, the time of year when I have to spend the measly 25 pounds a
- fortnight that`s all that`s left of my dole money after my tyrannical Mum
- has taken her rent, on presents for the family. And what will I get in return?
- Socks and an Oxfam Xmas card. Yippee.
- See how desperate my situation is?
- Good, now send me lot`s of nice stuff, or a list of anything lying around
- your floor that I might want, and how much of my precious money you want
- for it. First sender of a trapdoor memory board with an FPU and at least 4Mb
- RAM wins my undying love and devotion and the complete model of Vamp all
- for themselves which I will then not submit to Amiga Format.Plus anything
- else I`m working on at the time.
