- 1. Terms Of Distribution
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Permission for the non-commercial distribution of Upgrade by Dr Gandalf
- is hereby granted. Non-commercial distribution is defined as distribution
- by user groups, individuals, bulletin boards, and not for profit, public
- service public domain disk distributors. Distribution is ONLY permitted if
- ALL the files that make up the entire animation are distributed together.
- Any manufacturer of hardware or software is specifically enjoined from the
- public distribution of any part of Upgrade by Dr Gandalf, except
- if written arrangements are made with the author (not that I wouldn't be
- willing to make such arrangements).
-
- Upgrade by Dr Gandalf is specifically NOT in the public domain.
-
- 2. How it was made:
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- The original images were generated in Interlaced Overscan HAM mode using
- a Turbo Silver SV (floating point), a commercial ray-tracing program from
- Impulse Software (It was NOT done with Sculpt 3D!!!)
-
- The rendering was done partly with and Amiga 2000 with a Commodore 14MHz
- 68020/68881, and partly with a GVP 32MHz 68030/68882. The animation took
- about one year from start to finish.
- There are over 700 images total. The images were generated with Turbo
- Silver, touched up with Diamond (also from Impulse). The pictures were
- compressed into five separate .ANIM files with either Turbo Silver, MakeAnim
- (public domain), or Animation Station (Cryogenic Software). Sounds were
- created digitized with Perfect Sound. The title slides were created with
- Deluxe Paint III (Electronic Arts). The entire animation is shown using
- Deluxe Video III (Electronic Arts).
-
-
- 3. How to view it:
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- UPGRADE requires *5 Megabytes* of memory, and Super Agnes, and 5
- megabytes of hard disk space to run!!!
-
- The individual scenes can be played with VIEW, which is on the first
- disk of this collection. Press the F5 key once the animation begins
- to make it play at the correct speed. The individual scenes take 1 to 1.5
- megabytes.
-
- To use UPGRADE:
- Make a drawer on your hard disk, and copy all the files from all six
- disks into that partition. Then just double-click the Upgrade icon. If the
- player generates an error message, it is probably due to fragmented memory.
- Re-boot and try again.
-
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- I hope you enjoy Upgrade. If you do, you can pay me back by
- coming up with some interesting animation and graphics of your own and
- distributing them.
-
- PLEASE, when distributing UPGRADE, be sure to keep it intact, and
- include all portions of the animation in the distribution, including the
- main animation files, the sound files, the titles, this documentation
- and the associated icons.
