An Imagine v2.0 object by Carmen Rizzolo:  The Amiga 3000 Keyboard


    I'm baaaack!  Here's a matching keyboard object for the "A3000-CPU"
object I made a while back.  Included in the archive are two models.
"A3000-Keyboard.obj" and "A3000-FastKey.obj."  Most of you will be using
the fast model because all the seperate 'key' objects have been joined
together for faster drawing time in the editors.  If you want make an
animation of some actual typing, use the slow model; all the keys are
seperate objects and are clearly labled when using the "Find By
Requestor" funtion.  Other than that, the Keyboard objects do not need
dinking with, so I didn't bother naming each and every piece of the
Keyboard housing.  No, I did not slap decals on each and every key.  If
you really want this done, E-Mail me, and maybe I'll add it on for a
small fee.  All those decals would make the object QUITE huge, and really
wouldn't show up very clearly unless under a tight zoom.  Also, the time
required to add decals to each key would have probably delayed this
object release for at least another month.

    I appreciate all the positive response that the A3000-CPU object
generated.  I'm glad that I could contribute to the world of PD and ray-
tracing (or as most of us would say, scan-lining?).  I'm including a
slightly improved A3000-CPU object in this archive.  I added some raised
lettering below the power and hard drive lights.   I dunno why I over-
looked that before, sorry 'bout that!  I also fixed a few 'sharp' edges
that should have been 'soft,' you probably wouldn't have even noticed
the mistake, but I did.

    WARNING: Due to Imagine v2.0's new Phong Damn feature, converting
this object to other formats (Sculpt, Lightwave3D, etc.) may produce
nasty results.  If you need to use this object in Imagine 1.1, load
obect in Details Editor, enter "Pick Objects" mode and go through
every obect, turning phong OFF on every object in the group.

    Now for some of the usual: Spread these objects as much as you like,
but please keep all of the included files together, so the next guy
knows what the heck to do with what he's downloaded.  If you use any of
these objects in a picture/animation that you distribute, please give me
credit for modeling help.  Do not use any of these objects without first
obtaining written permission from me.  Thanks.

    Now for some of the unusual: I'd like to send out warm greetings to
all you nutty 3-D people out there, especially to the following:
    Rinaldo Petterino, Noam Ben Ami (Deep bow and flourish), Mike
"Codename" VDS, Brad Schenck and AVP-1 (He knows who he is).  What's
this?  Greets with an object file?! Hey! Just be glad I didn't etch these
guys' names in the actual object! Muahahah!
