ANIMATIONS
==========


   These are some animations.  Some of them are big (10MB or more) so you
need a rather fast HD or enough RAM.  TIP:  use MainActor for playback.  All
the anims have timecodes for their right playback and are in various formats.
Also, the most anims were created from their still pictures with the help of
MainActor or FRed of ADPro v2.5.


   F1GPIntro (dir):

                     My father bought before 4-5 years the F1GP for his PeeCee
(386sx 16MHz hehehe).  I had the same game for Amiga and I did not understand
why they hadn't any intro.  The PeeCee's intro was in FLI anim, so I transfered
it to my amiga and converted it to Anim7_16 with MainActor.  I wrote a little
scrip to play it back and then start the game.  The anim is in 320x200x8bit
(256 colors) and for the playback MainView from the MainActor is needed.  AF
have several times included the latest shareware version (v1.52) in its CD.
   I do not know if there are any copyright restrictions and if a user that has
the game in amiga and/or in pc can convert it.  I have not altered not even a
byte of the anim, just converted it.  U must have installed to your HD
Microprose's F1GP and have 6MB ram.  Just copy the contents of this drawer to
the drawer U have the game.  U can edit the script if you have less memory to
allow playback from HD and not from ram (I think U need min 2MB ram).



   Gtv (dir):

               These are some anims that I made for the Gtv music station.

GtvBigSign.iff: A still image made with Brilliance v2.

GtvComet.Anim5: A simple anim made with Brilliance v2.  The resolution is PAL
max overscan and the colors are only 4 for max playback speed.  First I had
made it in two parts (to play the first part with the letters comming in
several times and then seperetly the end part), but now I joined it.

GtvMorph.Anim7_32: A HiresLaced HAM8 anim in 7_32 format for max fps.  The
still images made with Imagine and then used cinemorph v2 for the morphing.  I
had made 5 different stages and anims, each one 1.5MB about (from G -> tv, tv
-> video, video -> music, music -> GtvVideoMusic, GtvVideoMusic -> G), because
the amiga's station had only 6MBram, to insure max fps in video recording.
I never gave the anim to the station because our co-operation blown.  Now, I
joined the parts and... Voila 8^()

GtvWords.Anim5: A simple anim in just 2 colors for max fps.  Same idea as one of
the Mtv's spots.  Simple is beautiful.



   Mihalis (dir):

                  These are some anims that made a friend of mine, Mihalis
Giannakis with my A500+ I sold to him (he expanded it with 4MB total ram and
a 420MB HD).  He made them with Imagine v2 and VistaPro V3.  He was VERY
PATIENT, because some of them made days to finish (poor old 68000).  All of
them are in 256x192 HAM6 with Imagine, except of ELENA.ANIM5 which was made
with VistaPro in 320x256 HAM6.  Giving attention to the computer he had, there
are amazing!!!  Viva A500 <8).



   MiscAnims (dir):

AmigaMorph.Anim5:  Made with cinemorph v2 from the images of an A500 and an
A2000.  Only 16 colors and in 320x200.  For demo purposes in small amigas.

BlueSkySpace.Anim8_16:  I made this anim with Lightwave v3.5 to impress one
TV station, but the Tv station owner thought that his 14 year old son with his
A2000 and DPaint v3 made better gfx (just imagine: bright red letters in bright
green background drawn 5 mins before a live talk show started!!!).  The
original was in HiresLace HAM8, but I lost the disks I saved it, as I lost the
disks with the frames.  This is a cutdown version for the A2000 of the station,
in Lores HAM6.

KostasLogo.Anim8_16:  This is also an anim made with LW v3.5 for fun.  The
first 50 frames made with antialising, but my amiga rendered only 1 frame in
30mins, so I turned it off (5 times faster).  The last frame has max
antialising.

News.Anim5:  This is the first 3D anim I ever made.  I made it with my A500 1MB
ram and Real3D v1.3.  Because of the low memory, my A500 could not hold the
whole Real3D project in memory and I had to rotate manually the sphere, render
the image, rotate the sphere x degrees and then again from the start.  I used
DPaint v4 to assemple the anim.



   TvK (dir):
               These are some anims I made for the TvK TV station.

ApoTVK.JPEG:  HiresLace JPEG image made with Imagine v3

KtvLightTower.Anim5:  A Lores HAM8 anim I made with Imagine v3.  The display
problem of my Amiga is the reason for the strange colors and result...

RacketWorld.SSA:  A SSA anim in HAM8 Hires Lace for the spot of a tennis
related program.  Images  made with Imagine v3 and then with ClariSSA v1.1
(in another great AF coverdisk) converted to a Super Smouth Animation.

TVKNews.Anim8_16:  A lores Lace HAM8 anim made for the news spot of the station
with... what else Imagine v3.
