Short: Anim of earth from Stargate SG-1 640x480x8x60 Author: Amiga@TheWorld.net (Alex Carmona) Uploader: AmigaOne TheWorld net (Alex Carmona) Type: pix/anim Replaces: pix/anim/3Globes.lha Requires: 640x480 display, Viewtek (gfx/show/ViewTEK21.lha) or other anim player Architecture: generic Date: 10-Oct-2001Short: Anim of earth from Stargate SG-1 640x480x8x60 Date: 10-Oct-2001 Description ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Animation of 3 rotating globes connected to each other, allowing to view all sides of the earth at the same time. A smaller version (900KB) is available, in pix/anim/3GlobesSmall.lha (320x200 30 frames) for amigas with 1MB RAM or TV output only. Usage ¯¯¯¯¯ o Extract the archive to your HD or RAM disk (8MB) o Workbench: Double-click on the anim (the icon default tool is set to viewtek) o Shell: Type viewtek FPS=1 RAM:3Globes/3Globes.anim o Press ESC to quit. Notes ¯¯¯¯¯ o You can use higher FPS values up to 60 but might not look too realistic. o This version of the anim was rendered with 60 non-looping frames to play better with viewtek but may loop well with other players. o Playing it with multiview doesn't work well on my Picasso board. Perhaps a problem with the picture or anim datatype. The Story ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ As I was watching the TV series Stargate SG-1 (with the actor from McGyver), I noticed a display in the background of the briefing room, with three very similar globes spinning around. I thought that it looked really cool so I started looking all over the net for an MPEG or screen-saver of that anim but couldn't find any. Eventually I decided to make my own. At one frame per second, it does look pretty cool on a plat panel display. Production ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ This was modeled and rendered in 30 minutes using Imagine on an Amiga 4000 with 68060-50MHz. Copyrights ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ This anim is placed in the public domain by myself, the author. Thanks ¯¯¯¯¯¯ BIG Thanks to all the people who share their art and software on Aminet, you rock! Urban Müller for keeping Aminet going all these years, Gary, Fleecy and those I missed for resurrecting the Amiga! Keep up the good work!
