        This was my first major undertaking using CAD-3D, CYBER
        CONTROL, and CYBER PAINT from Antic Software.  I really must
        put in a "plug" for their outstanding software - the
        potential this stuff presents is limitless.

        The original idea for the water bird demo came from a
        recently released videotape entitled The Future of Computer
        Animation which I picked up at my local video rental store.
        I presented the videotape at a ST Atari League of San Antonio
        (SALSA) meeting and remarked that the effects shown on the
        videotape were possible with the CYBER products.  The
        disbelieving looks I got motivated me to take this concept as
        seen on the videotape and reproduce it using the ST.

        Ultimately I plan to add rotation of the head, a wink, and
        couple drops of water from the beak accompanied by the ripple
        effect in the water glass.  The ripples in the animation were
        added following the basic animation through the use of CYBER
        PAINT.

        Thanks ANTIC!!!
