Stamp Collector by Dr. Gandalf (Non-Interlaced HAM version)

All Rights, Except Those Granted Herein, Reserved
1. Terms Of Distribution
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Permission for the non-commercial distribution of Stamp Collector 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.
Any manufacturer of hardware or software is specifically enjoined from the
public distribution of any part of Stamp Collector by Dr. Gandalf, except
if written arrangements are made with the author (not that I wouldn't be
willing to make such arrangements).
Stamp Collector by Dr. Gandalf is specifically NOT in the public domain.
Now that we have finished with that silliness,
2. How it was made:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The original images were generated using Turbo Silver, a commercial
ray-tracing program from Impulse Inc, which has a good object editor
and very rapid image generation time. There are 149 images, totalling
2667803 bytes. The images took about 500-600 hours of computing time on
standard 68000 based Amigas. (Anybody want to send me a 68020 board to
evaluate?) The images were tweaked with PrismPlus (Impulse Inc) and
Digi-Paint (New-Tek). After compression and assembly with Byte-by-Byte's
public domain sequencer, MOVIE, the finished animation file is 276820 bytes
long, which will run easily in a 512K Amiga.
3. How to view it:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
To play it from a CLI:
- Put Stamp_Collector, and a copy of MOVIE (version 1.2 or higher) in
the same directory or on the same disk
- CD to that disk or directory
- Set the STACK to 16000
- Type
1> Movie Stamp_Collector
To play it from Workbench:
- Put Stamp_Collector, Stamp_Collector.info, and a copy of MOVIE
(version 1.2 or higher) on the same disk
- Open the disk icon, and double-click the Stamp Collector icon.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I hope you enjoy Stamp Collector. If you do, you can pay me back by
coming up with some interesting animation and graphics of your own and
distibuting them.
Note that there is also an interlaced version of Stamp Collector
available, which requires an Amiga with more than 512K of memory.
