Short: Pic from M Thompson's Fred Floaty anim Type: pix/trace Architecture: generic Store.jpg is a still from my recently released 2 minute film "One Stormy Night with Fred Floaty". It was created entirely in LightWave 2.0 with the aid of Cinemorph, Morphplus, Pixel 3D, ADPro, and Deluxe Paint. It took nearly 6 months to create and involved a solid 4 months of continuous rendering. It is a short tale of a pool floatational toy, Fred, who resides in the display window of a travel agent. The story opens on a rainy evening and Fred dreams of being somewhere more pleasant. The original motivation for the film was to show off some of the latest effects I had developed using LightWave which included a spectacular animated simulation of rain and a pretty darn good pool (IMHO). The finished film consumed 2.5 GB of storage and required an average of 1 hour per frame to render (some took up to 2 hours and 40 min.) The film took first place in the Amiga World animation contest and is available from Amiga World on their 3rd animation video "Amigamations". %~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~% % ` ' Mark Thompson CONCURRENT COMPUTER % % --==* RADIANT *==-- mark@westford.ccur.com Principal Graphics % % ' Image ` ...!uunet!masscomp!mark Hardware Architect % % Productions (508)392-2480 (603)424-1829 & General Nuisance % % % ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
