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!
